Broken windows was ex-NYPD commissioner William Bratton’s theory. Even NYC’s initial sanctuary laws passed by Koch, were recertified by both Dinkins & Guiliani. But the main law is from 2014 passed by NY City Council and Bill DiBlasio.

[@ninocrown3247]

@@marjoriereyes3254Adams has made mistakes (mainly trying to back Biden), but as soon as he starts getting a lot of this mess under control, his successor (probably WM) will come in and take all the credit. Just like what happened with David Dinkins and Rudy Guiliani. Dinkins put many things into action like the hiring of thousands of new cops, financed with a special sales tax he pressured the NY City Council to pass. By the time all the cadets graduated out the police academy, he was out of office and they benefited the Guiliani Administration. Plus, the 1994 Crime Bill gave lots of money to cities dealing with violent drug trafficking organizations like NYC. Nevermind, the economy started to rebound in the mid-90s due to the tech boom starting. Crime always falls in good economies. Guiliani benefited from quite a few things, he had nothing to do with. Mr Law and Order is now a criminal himself. So while they focus on Fani Willis (who I really really don’t like), remember Guiliani is now a convicted criminal. As a former DA, he knew the law and broke it anyway.

Where was all the heightened security when this happened? I was visiting my Dad the other day, and this young guy got past the turnstile without paying his fare, then opened the exit door for his girlfriend. Where were they?

I was on about 4 subways yesterday and saw no police.anywhere. however, I did see about 6 people who jumped the turnstiles.

[@deejay5102]

I am not fan of NYPD but they do be at certain stations regularly. I thought i would never say this but, they aren't enough cops to patrol every station and train car. Supposedly the National Guard is going to help them so that is going to be interesting.

[@ernestpearson2308]

Why they keep lieing about subway crimes is down like the people are stupid. Wow.

[@evilcomesfromwakanda-mp9vl]

now the police will often not file the police report, they will just say they will look into it and talk to you a bit and send you on your way. so crime is down because of under reporting. Same with shoplifting, drug abuse, homeless camps, just turn and look the other way and crime has reduced

[@danielmelendez3841]

That’s not cool at all. So hypocritical I got video of NYC police officers swiping a a what is the apartment issue blue MetroCard for the MTA. I slso saw in like five people in front of the entrance door the officer allowed to say is working and hold the door for us to get on the station I thought it good courtesy, now it’s a crack down.

[@albiellada9652]

On buses, 80% plus don't pay their fare. On the train,I notice 40% not paying their fare on the train in upper manhattan and the bronx. Police also ignore it.

I work in queens and manhattan. There are seldom any cops around and all I see all day long are immigrants and tourists farebeating! As a tax payer and law abiding citizen I’m disgusted! Take a look at grand central station near the shuttle (immigrants), Times Square (tourists), and 33rd street at the 7 line in queens (immigrants). It’s a slap in the face to those of us that pay!

[@WillLMC96]

And can you imagine, people actually want the transit system to be free! LMAO, can you imagine the amount of crime & homeless people sleeping on the trains if the system was fare-free.....it's already more than bad enough.

[@preelenede]

@@WillLMC96 I’m looking at all the money being stolen and the bill dropped on taxpayers! NYC is a big joke! I’ve actually seen with my own eyes immigrants hop the turnstile in front of the police and they do nothing. I’ve also seen immigrants walk up to police and tell them to open the gates for them. It’s come to a point where farebeating is so common that these people really believe the transit system IS FREE!

[@kharitaylor2489]

@@WillLMC96wait so if it’s in a shitty condition after they just raised fares and you pay your hard earned money in taxes to run the MTA.Wouldn’t you demand some type of change from the “immigrant filled,dirty subway cars” and I hope your solution isn’t raising fare again

[@Mrrossj01]

Why did it take so long to figure this out? Good people don’t do this! How about a scofflaw proof fare toll.

[@captainkeyboard1007]

Fare evasion is not a felony nor a dangerous crime. It is a serious offense because the crime deprives the carrier of obtaining the required fare in order to transport the individual person(s). More fare evasion occurs on the buses than on rapid transit system. Fare evaders who have no identification or have identification and choose not to present it upon the request of the law enforcers are subject to arrest. In this way, the law officers can obtain more information at the command station, and enhance privacy for the fare evaders away from the riding public.

Nah, you can have pepper spray. They want you defenseless when a would be attack strikes. Which is why i feel criminals prey on law abiding citizens because they know they are unarmed.... If they change the laws i bet my next non existent stimulus check that the crime would fall because now the armed criminals and armed law abiding citizens are on equal playing field. The whole system is bogus. Cops can't be everywhere not to mention policing is reactive not proactive.... so law abiding citizens should be able to arm themselves as a proactive solution.
