A man was apparently arrested for sleeping on the subway in a rather brutal altercation with the NYPD this month.
Sections 1050.7 (10) and (5) of the Mass Transit Authority’s (MTA) Rules of Conduct state that sleeping on trains is prohibited only “if it is hazardous or interfering with fellow passengers.” One is forbidden to lie down or take up more than one seat, and it is unclear from the video if he was sleeping in an upright position.

NYPD´s Brutal Arrest Of Man Sleeping On The Subway
Still, there is no need to actually arrest someone, taking matters to such extremes, for such a minor offense, even if the man was ‘lying down’.
Our police state is increasing day by day and law enforcement is becoming more brutal, unreasonable and without skill to handle matters through fostering good will. It takes thugs to enforce a police state and continually demand complete submission to authority.
nothing in NY or Oregon surprises me
Although I do agree that the homeless should not be allowed to use the subway as their safe haven I also don’t think they should be arrested if they do so. The police have most definitely gotten on a power trip and I hope the homeless guy wins this lawsuit!
Oh this guy wasn’t homeless and the guy that fell asleep just fell asleep. Oh man I hope he owns the nypd after all is said and done!
Tyranny at its best
