That is one thing I hate about this City (NY). First they claim they need to protect our safety. Then they pass a law such as this one that states you can't move between subway cars. First of all it is debatable if this is an unsafe act. Let's assume it is. But they write the law to also pertain to trains standing still which is definitely not dangerous.Then they give tickets for doing something like this that is not dangerous at all. The same thing applies to other summonses as well. Someone sent me a site showing speed traps in the US. I checked a few in areas I'm familiar with and all the traps were where the speed was unrealistically low where it would be safe to go at a faster speed (of course depending on road conditions) or where a turn was not allowed by a pavement marking that had no business for being there in the first place because the illegal turn would be perfectly safe. The police should give summonses for unsafe acts such as aggressive driving if they really want to protect our safety, (or for moving between cars at least when the train is moving) not for something that may be illegal but not unsafe. As I've said before, if it were about safety, there wouldn't be do many road safety hazards, misleading or missing signage or broken street lighting. Sanitation officers would be ticketing flagrant recycling violators, not people with one recyclable item in a non-reyclable container. It's all about the revenue and nothing else. |
