But THIS, hey, no problem. Where else can junkies shoot up in such warm, comfortable environs?

This week, a video went viral of a man being detained by police on a public transportation platform in San Francisco, Calif., for eating a sandwich. You can see the police officer in the video below insisting that eating is a violation of the California penal code.
It turns out that while he might be slightly off base, it's mostly true. The California penal code lists eating on public transport property as a "miscellaneous crime" in section 635-652.
(2) This section shall apply only to acts committed on or in a facility or vehicle of a public transportation system.
(b) (1) Eating or drinking in or on a system facility or vehicle in areas where those activities are prohibited by that system.
According to the code, the man eating is breaking the law because he is at a facility owned by the public transportation system and he is not in the designated eating area. However, this law is rarely enforced. In the same code, a few lines down is this gem:
(3) Urinating or defecating in a system facility or vehicle, except in a lavatory. However, this paragraph shall not apply to a person who cannot comply with this paragraph as a result of a disability, age, or a medical condition.

To recap, it is illegal to eat a sandwich on your commute, and punishable by a $400 fine, but perfectly fine to defecate on a train in public if you just can't help yourself. This explains the entire California system of government.
If he had been shooting up instead he most likely would not have been bothered.
Hungry people are being discriminated against.
They are really just being preemptive
after all you have to eat before you can...
See, kidneys...

Can you crap on a BART platform?
How in the world can they expect anybody to defecate if you can’t eat first?
But THIS, hey, no problem. Where else can junkies shoot up in such warm, comfortable environs?
Time for a P-Party. 20 people to drench each municipal building , followed by another 20 people, etc. Men only.
It really is quite hilarious to see what the consequences of 100% liberal Democrat rule are
it’s always the same
California democrats bully law biding citizens because they hate traditional middle class citizens.
California gives criminals a pass because they support criminals who attack the middle class because they hate traditional middle class citizens.
What kind of sandwich?
How do DemonRatz determine exactly what point in the human alimentary canal that the State has a vested interest?

Basically this guy went looking for trouble. He staged this incident. He even had this stunt filmed. He wanted to get arrested. And he was.

Next time he should film himself urinating on the Train Platform. Let’s see if he gets arrested as well.

It doesn’t matter.
Fact 1: no one gets arrested for shooting dope in public.
Fact 2: no one gets arrested for defecating in public.
Fact 3: one person just got arrested for eating on a train.
How does what you say change Facts 1-3?
Agree. No more conventions in California.
Perhaps the guy should eat about 4 half green pears and drink a big glass of buttermilk and go back to the platform and show them what he can do when he’s under pressure...
