MORE DECRIMINILIZATION OF CRIME IN CALIFORNIA

By bob Walsh

 

BART Tests Double-Stacked Fare Gates
BART is testing a new fare gate at the Richmond station, with one set of gates stacked on top of the other. The taller gates are supposed to stop people from simply jumping over them.

 

A SoCal legislator is preparing to introduce a bill that would decriminalize turnstile jumping (fare evasion) within the formerly great state of California.  I wonder if he would also vote to 100% fund public transit from taxes or if he expects that morons (honest, straight citizens who believe in paying their way) will just pay extra to cover the thieves?  It would still be illegal but there would be no effective criminal penalty for doing so.
