If the Transit Cops called EVERY time they stop a Foreign National on a C-Train or for some other crap, Immigration would be rather annoyed. Whenever a Peace Officer comes in contact with a foreign national, questioning status has to come to mind. Do you know how many people are illegally in this country?! Assuming they are here legally just because they're in the country is a bit silly.
This case took a bit of a turn for the worse. It looks like the TC thought a charge would be laid. That is why he would have called Immigration. FN convicted of a ciminal (1 indictable or 2 summary) offence = deportation... FN convicted of Failure to Produce Fare = Why the F are you calling?!
