Random bag searches in NYC
 

not taking the subway today

So the news says that if you don't consent to having your shit searched through, that you will not be able to board the subway or the busses, and that you will be allowed to just turn around and leave. How exactly does this make the NYC mass transit any safer?

I do not believe for a minute that if you refuse the search that you will just be allowed to go on your way, no questions asked.

I posted a link in a thread where people were talking about doing this in London.

Pretty scary violation of people rights if you ask me.

If the PoPo's have reasonable cause they can get a warrant from a judge.

Just wait until you get your national ID cards. Make sure you have your papers ready at all times.
