I have known somebody to get multiple transit tickets so I question if that was it. Being belligerent on the other hand could totally get you nailed. I figured they'd just call in the actual police, but I guess they don't have to.
Calgary is turning into fascist state, when the mayor went looking for his own private army he decided to turn the transit cops into his personal Gestapo on the premise that no one would notice until they were being thrown into one of those fairly benign looking paddy wagons.

Are they packing heat now too? Tasers?

Where do they even get these paddy wagons? Where do they keep them? How often could they possibly be needed?

Its light rail transit for Christ's sake, I know people can get a little testy on their morning commute but its not like its complete anarchy out there Mad Max style. Is there a Calgary Transit Thunderdome? Is that where this lady is right now? Where is it?
