              This has nothing to do with freedom, so don't be an asshole. Most subways have no food rules. This probably has been in effect here for some time now. She broke the law and was properly detained.

              Yeah...it seems a bit over the top, but that's life with laws

              Spend you some brain.

                  I think the transit police officer went a little to far in this.
                  They were just being bullies

                              Her response would have been the same as mine. "Don't you have other crimes to be taking care of?"

                                  That should be a nice lawsuit.... They went way too far and I don't think that any Jury wouldn't see this as an abuse of power.

                                      I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                                      No...the law in place here was not put in place to restrict freedom. It was most likely put in place to protect the subway system and passengers. She broke the law and was caught. Plain and simple.

                                                      Don't make this out to be something more than it is. If you want to bitch about laws and freedom, talk about the people who were arrested recently for wearing Anti-Bush tshirts at a recent Bush rally.

                                                          So NOW having CANDY in your mouth is putting other peoples lives in jeopardy? MY GOD, I can see the head lines now:

                                                          "Man killed when woman spits candy at him, piercing his heart and killing him instantly"

                                                          What the hell??? We have killers walking our streets, terrorists, and god only knows what else and they focus on a woman having a snack in the wrong place? It isn't like she was smoking or chewing on knives, she was eating a piece of CANDY!!!!! Yikes, glad YOU aren't our leader, we'd ALL be behind bars........

                                                          We'd ALL be behind bars....... but not CANDY bars..... LMAO

                                                              Metrorail has been criticized in the past for heavy-handed enforcement of the eating ban. In 2000, a police officer handcuffed a 12-year-old girl for eating a French fry on a subway platform.

                                                              In 2002, one of their officers ticketed a wheelchair-bound cerebral palsy patient for cursing when he was unable to find a working elevator to leave a station. Unflattering publicity eventually led the police to void the ticket.

                                                              wow.

                                                              btw, if you read the story, it was her comment that lead to the request for her I.D. and subsequent frisking and handcuffing..
                                                              Really sad.

                                                              You've read it, you can't unread it.

                                                                      "Man killed when woman spits candy at him, piercing his heart and killing him instantly"

                                                                      What the hell??? We have killers walking our streets, terrorists, and god only knows what else and they focus on a woman having a snack in the wrong place? It isn't like she was smoking or chewing on knives, she was eating a piece of CANDY!!!!! Yikes, glad YOU aren't our leader, we'd ALL be behind bars........

                                                                      We'd ALL be behind bars....... but not CANDY bars..... LMAO
                                                                      I've been on Subway systems all over the world. Most, if not all, have this same rule. No eating or drinking on the platform or trains. There's a reason for this, and it's not because they can just arrest people and make some money off of them. It's to protect the trains, the system and the passengers.

                                                                      I'm going to guess that you've never ridden a crowded NYC subway. Someone eating is not paying attention to the what is going on around them, and could easily fall causing comotion and/or injury to themselves or others around them. This is where these laws come from.

                                                                      Yes, it's pretty stupid that she was arrested for eating a candybar. But...she did break a law. This law is just like the one on the books regarding people using cell phones while driving. All this lady had to do was accept that she was wrong and take the fine. Instead she chose to mouth off and was arrested.

                                                                      Spend you some brain.

Unflattering publicity eventually led the police to void the ticket."

Both Willett and police agree that she nodded and put the last bit into her mouth before throwing the wrapper into a trash can.

                                                                                                  Stephanie Willett said she was eating a PayDay bar on an escalator descending into a station July 16 when an officer warned her to finish it before entering the station. Both Willett and police agree that she nodded and put the last bit into her mouth before throwing the wrapper into a trash can.
                                                                                                  Since when is an escalator a platform and they even admitted when they asked her to finish it BEFORE she got down there, she put the last bit of it in her mouth and threw the paper away, so she did as they said and she STILL got arrested.

                                                                                                  I am all about following the rules and so on, but this is a tad bit out of line, and I don't remember ever seeing anyone eating a CANDY bar that was so into it that they caused a huge fall and endangered peoples lives. If she was sitting in the middle of the floor having a full on dinner or something, yeah, trip hazards and all of that jazz...... but come on, she was FINISHING a candybar... and by their own admission, she was alert enough while eating it that she heard what they said and DID what they said....

                                                                                                  Either way, arresting someone for something so stupid when there were probably 50 people more dangerous than her within 100 feet of her, is pretty stupid.... if they were SO worried about

                                                                                                  Washington has been under heightened security because of the continuing threat of terrorism. And last week, police declared a citywide crime emergency over rising juvenile crime.

                                                                                                                                              hahaha they arrest you for a snickers, they cant even arrest you for weed here.
                                                                                                                                              I didn't get arrested for that either. NY is pretty lax on the good weed, so long as you're no where near a school or children and aren't carrying a half a pound on you.

                                                                                                                                              I got a ticket, which was on the level of parking ticket. I showed up and paid my fine. (I don't think we can mail in our tickets here in NYS)

                                                                                                                                              I'm just fanning the flames here man. You know all about that. I think this rule/law is bogus. I had cops too, especially ones who abuse their power.

                                                                                                                                              Spend you some brain.
