I think its because in capitalist america even cops are with capitalist mind. They 100% have some sort of a bonus system threaded into their salary, where they receive a % cut of all fines and confiscations they processed, so they are encouraged to harass people to boost their own salary. Also a bonus if they catch someone with a warrant, hence why they ask for ID in any possible situation

They arrested him then cited him for showing that they were wrong.

He got a ticket for contempt of cop. Anyone that won’t just bow down and do whatever these clowns say makes them angry and they retaliate with tickets and arrests. And they are going to continue retaliating and abusing their power like this until they start getting punished for this misconduct. He was completely wrong and then threw some bogus charge at the guy to not make it look as badly. Who think this cop is going to face punishment for what he did to this guy? I certainly don’t.

The sign is clearly just a waiver so they can't be sued for damage of whatever you're charging

[@rossydv]

I’ve heard of “phoney” arrests but this is ridiculous

[@kanoaikawach]

Haha

[@Dapper_Dean]

Their egos are shattered, when they are being proven wrong. But will remain unreasonable, just to waste your time and sometimes the taxpayers' monies.

[@MurphCat-zl8vu]

I thought they were throwing him off the train as his "punishment." I didn't realize they would arrest him beyond that. What absolute morons. And since there was no crime, how can he get cited for failure to ID?

[@ned6938]

That was just to make him go to court to further his punishment for making the cop look like an idiot.

[@737smartin]

Policing is HARD. When you’re a fool, it must be nearly impossible. At least this guy wasn’t also a thug, as too many LEOs have been shown to be.

[@RH-cv1rg]

@@737smartin You don't call depriving a citizen of free travel, arresting them for no crime, fabricating charges, wasting their time in court, thuggery? I think the cop is a total bully and thug, and IGNORANT. They shouldn't let this douche of a cop play with rounded crayons.

[@ned6938]

@@737smartin I disagree. I think he is a blue line thugs just like the rest of them.

[@KasChuckNorris]

Now these guys are protecting and serving 💪🏻

[@RshadowA]

They're only citing the Dude to try to mitigate the fact that they arrested him for no reason. If they were real men/adults, they would have just owned their mistake, apologised profusely and then left it at that but instead they act like children who got their feelings hurt. No place in the Police Force for people like this.

[@frotobaggins7169]

Hopefully he will sue them for excessive force. Over an outlet.

[@wadestanton]

lol Just bad enough to earn a cheesy tattoo, wait and see what he is willing to do for a fancy tattoo.

[@hoosierhyperwatch5884]

Why'd the clown go hands on after theu were already off the train?!?!

[@wingatebarraclough3553]

Personal enjoyment?

Frustration at being stupid.

[@fessparker9399]

Ego.

[@JosephKuznia]

Because he knew he could with little or no repercussions. Or possibly looking to get revenge for being stuffed into lockers in high school. 🤣🪖🤣

[@DaveBigDawg]

They can't stand being wrong and just walking away

[@AmateurBarbarian]

Meanwhile there are literally people smoking crack and shooting fentanyl on BART trains. How do I know? I commute to SF for work Monday through Friday.

[@chuckmosca2379]

Yeah, but those people might be real criminals! And that interferes with their prime directive of officers safety. But it's much easier to take a law abiding citizen and TREAT him like a criminal! Cops are cowards.

[@thorodinson6031]

This will lead to just another civil suit

[@mule1995]

Another Contempt of COP, or is it contempt of creep?

[@frotobaggins7169]

looked more like contempt of citizen to me.

[@mule1995]

@@frotobaggins7169 good one!

[@LarsBreuning]

And still the tyrants wonder why people detest them? Earning the utter hate on a daily basis.

[@bluzfiddler1]

Hey! He's going to court today. Hopefully it goes well.

[@bertbaker7067]

This is going to sound kinda silly, but maybe letting the cops dress in swat gear confuses them about what their job is? They dress up like a soldier and then they want to play war. Maybe something closer to a movie theater usher's uniform or like a doorman would be less confusing for them. Idk, just a thought.

[@kanoaikawach]

Mood.

This is insane…. They are LITERALLY out of control

[@jesselines1819]

Isn't this the same transit police department that arrested a man for eating a sandwich on the platform?

[@enrique90]

The hoops people have to jump through to pacify a hurt ego is amazing

[@queenrocks77]

Wow! Thank god the outlet police were there to protect us from this dangerous criminal!! 🙏🏼 No I can sleep at night

[@damianbarnes2717]

More taxpayers money wasted. Because he’s definitely gonna file a lawsuit.

[@jamescarrell7412]

Imagine having an ego so fragile that you can't be held accountable.

[@richardharepax123]

And listen and read the sign but they don't care because they get money from the ticket

[@samirmabbasi]

They do not admit they are stupid

[@oinksfromiowa3755]

Pure EGO! Hold them both accountable! Shame SHAME!

[@Dmanderic1979]

Just goes to show that they think any command is lawful. They think they are the law.

[@fragtastic4]

It's laughable that they wanted to make such a big deal about plugging a phone into a power outlet. Contempt of cop at it's finest.

[@showlett33]

When did the word "Advised" come to mean "Prohibited"?

[@brianbird3756]

Corruption and boredom is a bad combination...

My dad always told me the reason why theres always 2 cops is because one can read and the other can write. Clearly the one that could read was quiet. 😂

Even when they are wrong they think they are right. How can he give lawful orders when he wasnt following the law.
