According to the article about the couple's lawsuit, which was in today's online Post, the incident itself occurred last year around midnight during the Jazz At Lincoln Center Midsummer Night's Swing festival, which was held on from July 14-16. According toi the plaintiffs, the platform on which they were dancing was virtually empty. However, there is an item in the NYCT Rules Of Conduct prohibiting the "obstruction of free movement".I see people "obstruct free movement" every day in the subway, as when they stop dead in their tracks at the tops and bottom of staircases and/or escalators, and immediately after exiting a train, as if they've never seen that particular station before...but I've never seen anyone thrown in jail for it, which is why I'm guessing there is a "contempt of cop" element to this story. |
