Transit Cops are not really cops, but they sure wanna be, and they try their damndest to look like cops. I'm especially fond of the massive tool belt they strut around with.
Funny thing -- I saw three of them "checking tickets" on the train a few days ago. Two burly/fat guys and one regular sized twerp. One of the fat guys and the twerp had found a pair of folks without tickets and the fat guy was giving them the what-for.
The other big guy was at the far end of the train and didn't know what was going on. I couldn't hear the conversation but it might have been getting testy. The little guy was standing as far away from the altercation as possible without running away, but he kept looking back at the other big guy with a terrified look on his face. A 'get down here, he needs back-up and I'm too scared to give it' kind of a look, if such a look is possible. It was funny.
What is the fine now?
