    Cracking down on fare evasion doesn’t even make sense financially. Assuming those cops are making the starting salary for NYPD officers, every single cop would need to catch roughly 54 people every day, each, for them to break even on lost profits. It cant possibly be that big of an issue there.

    This is a tragedy. And one that was preventable to boot.

      You’re forgetting that having them posted there allows them harass certain people.
