.@VICE has gotten its hands on fare evasion data that the NYPD has fought tooth and nail to hide. Spoiler: enforcement is predominately focused on poor people of color vice.com/en_us/article/…

credit to Councilman Rory Lancman and the Community Service Society for winning a lawsuit to release this data, and credit to @laurawags for just going on stakeouts all over the city to backstop the info

I am just now doing the math and realizing, for the MTA to lose $300Mil a year in fare evasion, that would have to be 300k fare evasions a day.
Does that seem a little... absurdly high to anyone else? That's like 1 out of every 20 rides?

I saw a really insightful post that said this isn't about fare evasion, it's an investment in acclimatizing people to authoritarianism.

Good job not reading bro: "And in December 2019, as the [NYT] reported, NYPD officers sued the department after their commanders told them to ignore white and Asian people in the subway in favor of targeting Black and Latinx people for minor offenses like turnstile jumping."

I live in gentrified Brooklyn and I see white people jump turnstiles EVERY SINGLE DAY mostly men
The only difference is they do it knowing they will NEVER be caught (though I did see one guy get caught once and I stood there and watched while he got his ticket)
