I would agree with the fashion profiling argument, but I had a (black) friend arrested on his way to a job interview in a suit for switching subway cars. The only reason he switched the subway cars was due to a homeless person smelling up the car he was in. Pretty sure if he was a white male he would not have been arrested.
- scotty79 13y agoFor switching subway cars? How's that a crime? He paid for the ride didn't he? Or do the people of color are still only allowed to ride in the back on the subway?
- newsum 13y agoit is illegal to switch from one car to another car (regardless if the train is in motion or not). that's a crime/fact, in NYC of course.
- watwut 13y agoIs that a joke? Why would anyone vote to make that a crime? I through that three felonies a day is an exageration, but I'm definitely guilty of switching train cars.
