So many ways around this, first the officer with conductor present, train on platform w/doors open will ask one final time. Then the passenger (if smart) claims no funds. Passenger produces Id, gets a bill & promises to pay later (which gets promptly torn up). The PO can not search the passenger to validate his claim of insufficient funds. If the pass had no ID or refuses to show it, then out come the cuffs. Possibly entering disorderly conduct territory if he causes a commotion or delays the train.BTW, those insufficient funds for providing transportation bills used to be referred to as "Pink Slips" buy the beancounters. The railroad takes a terrible beating on those, but that story is for another thread. |
