Yup..and you are an envious little man bitch,wishing you could have done a quarter of the things I've managed to accomplish..

You are less than a man..a johnny come lately,that only wishes he could have a job working for SOME transportation company,doing what REAL WORKERS DO..instead of letting his wife take care of him like some "kept man"..
Your life is next to worthless..simply because you hate on EVERYONE here..simply due to you being a "scumbag carpetbagger"..and missing out on what most of us TRUE NEW YORKERS ALREADY LIVED THROUGH...

You are envious of my skill..the fact that I AM A COACH OPERATOR..I HAVE A UP AND COMING CLOTHING LINE..I AM AN DESIGNER..ARTIST WORKING FOR SEVERAL COMPANIES..PROUD FATHER..HUSBAND..plus I am BETTER than YOU.

This is WHY you hate me... I DON'T Take any crap from you..

False, you have NO PROOF that he was in an unauthorized area.

He has decent evidentiary grounds for that belief.

We also have no proof that evil demons aren't making us believe that this is the real world, while the truth is that we're actually being manipulated by them. We have no proof that I am not God. Etc.

Show me the law or SHUT THE FUCK UP.

I believe that he's struck a nerve with you....

Nonetheless, it is certainly possible and indeed likely that the conduct leading up to that photo and/or after that constituted at least a misdemeanor under this state's law.

However, I'm guessing that being shown 'guilty' of 3a would be enough to be charged criminally without 3b being shown.

If he were to wear an MTA uniform to a Halloween party it would probably not be an issue

Yep that's like the Mr. and Mrs. Claus example that I gave in a post.

but in a motorman's cab he is causing others to act in reliance on the pretense since he is causing them to believe he has the right to be there.

Indeed; that sort of reasoning is exactly why I think that it's likely that he violated the law.

The two sections are united with "and". Generally when that is done both parts need to be proven.

Meanwhile I am dusting off an old conductor's hat for a future photo shoot. I don't think anyone would complain though - it has the insignia of the Penn Central Railroad...

I think the point that some people are making is that it's not a crime to impersonate an MTA employee.

I saw it signed up as a C while running down 8 Av; I don't remember if it was in service or not. It was a short train, but hard to forget because it was one of the only times in that era when you saw the big navy C bullet. Other than that time, the only time in those days that I saw a similar bullet was one day on an R44 that I suppose got pressed into C service on the fly.

Of course, nowadays the big C bullet is the usual...although even that might be changing soon, or so we believe.

Right. His being in the cab legally is certainly improbable but it is nonetheless possible. If he obtained permission to sit at this non-operating position, there would be nothing wrong with his wearing his costume.

This is the point I (and others) have been trying to make, but it's been misinterpreted as condoning his actions, or else legitimizing MTA employee impersonation.

False. Every person has the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty. That was my point. Many people here condemned him without knowing ANY of the facts. Let there be proff brought that he committed crimes/violations in the taking of that photo, and then you can condemn him all you want, because he will surely deserve it.

Of course, if this photo was taken BEFORE the rollsign incident, then there is the chance that he has already seen the error in his ways, and has already decided not to pursue this course of action any longer.

For the information/indictment, they should really have at least probable cause on both 3a and 3b, otherwise it should be dismissed.

Practically speaking though, with a little police work, one feels that they would probably have more than enough to go after someone who was stupid enough to try that sort of thing and to take photos while he's at it.

I understand your point and I agree with your putting the probability of the proverbial best of his possible worlds at about "certainly improbable" too.

Some of the reasons for the quite low probability have to do with the combination of the knock-off uniform AND the apparent trespass.

I have to make one further observation, though, as respects one part of your point,

If he obtained permission to sit at this non-operating position, there would be nothing wrong with his wearing his costume.

It seems to me that he would have to affirmatively declare to person granting permission (an unlikely event in itself) that his uniform wasn't genuine, and he's doing this for a shot. When you multiply those two small fractions together.......

Would you cut it out? You have no proff about what his intentions were on that night. He was caught with them, and he certainly seems guilty of being part of the act, but you don't know what part he played, nor what his intentions were.

Every person has the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty.

That's the presumption of the law; who it places the burden of legal proof on to show what happened. For assorted reasons, as a matter of legal procedure, we say that the prosecution has the burden of proof beyond reasonable doubt.

It's not a presumption that one is entitled to respect in the ordinary sense, however. Jack the Ripper who is caught actively gutting a woman's body is presumed innocent by the law until proven guilty in a court of law or until he lawfully concedes the same. He is not presumed innocent by anyone who is cognitively functional.

False. I have seen at least one of the 6 railfans recently in trouble for the two major incidents (train moving and rollsign stealing) being let into a non-public area of the system by someone who I assume is an employee or retiree. So don't tell me that these kids don't still have friends in the system. It seems highly likely that they do still have a friend or friends who work or have access to non-public parts of the subway system.

Of course, the employee may not have actually has the "authority" to allow him into that area, but that doesn't really matter. The employee is part of NYCT, and thus it is his fault if he lets someone like Steven into a cab or some similar place.
