it's the exact type of low level crime that needs to be stamped out

if one person doesn't pay, then 5 people don't then the whole system gets shitter through lack of funding so more people can't be bothered to pay for a shitty service and it gets worse and worse

if it just happens to be minorities who don't understand that then it's not the police's fault

Busting the morons that do jump is also an easy way to get shitty people off the streets. The people jumping the turnstile are likely the same people committing other crimes. Even in the article they say the ones arrested are people that have warrants out for other crimes. The police have to keep a boot on the necks of these lowlifes.
