Cops should only enforce those laws that are written and passed by the legislature. They are not legislators and should not be making up their own laws. Well, actually....the text contained in "21 NYCRR Part 1050: Rules Governing the Conduct and Safety of the Public in the Use of the Facilities of New York City Transit Authority and Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority" is not written and passed by the legislature. If I understand this process correctly, the New York City Transit Authority has the legal authorization to update these rules as it sees fit. I believe there is an optional or mandatory public comment period. I imagine that the only way to fight NYCTA about a rule already adopted would be to take NYCTA to court. All of this is only my guess based on my limited understanding. If any of this is wrong, I welcome correction. BTW, my understanding is based upon the following, as well as how it is done in other states too. Section 1050.1 Authorization and Purpose. 1. The provisions of sections 1203-a(3) and 1204(5-a) of the Public Authorities Law provide the New York City Transit Authority and Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority with the power to make rules governing the conduct and safety of the public in the use and operation of the transit facilities of those authorities. 2. These rules are established by the New York City Transit Authority and Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority to promote safety, to facilitate the proper use of the transit facilities of the authorities, to protect those transit facilities and their passengers, and to assure the payment of fares and other lawful charges for the use of their systems. 3. These rules may be amended or added to, from time to time, at the sole discretion of the New York City Transit Authority or Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority in accordance with law. Take Pride,
