What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
I was just issued an Unsafe Rider ticket for walking from one car to another n the subway. However, I did it when the train wasn't moving and was actually parked in the terminal. The PO called me outside and told me that I wasn't supposed to do that and asked for my ID. Long story short, they cited me as an unsafe rider on a non moving train.
I checked the MTA website and the only place you can find that it is mentioned is in the Rules of Conduct and this is only if you are looking for it. The subway platform was slippery and could be considered more hazardous than inside the car. So if safety was their motivation (which I doubt) then there was no reason to pull me out. I didn't give them a hard time, I was polite and quiet. But now, I have a $75.00 ticket that I really don't feel I deserved. Is there anyway to fight this?? Help!
