Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?
Yes. I used my Student MetroCard on MLK Day to see a friend when I was in teenager. I ended up getting a $60 ticket that my dad paid. Literally the dumbest thing I’ve seen an NYPD stop someone for.

Wait, I don’t know a thing about Metro cards. How did that get you in trouble?

So the Student version of the MetroCards in NYC at the time let you use them for school days. Nothing in the card said using it outside of school days was against the law and when I’d swipe it on a non-school day, it never said on the turnstile screen “Not a school day” or “cannot use”.

Oooh! Interesting! I see now. Definitely something ridiculous to get stopped for, in NYC no less.

You’d think that but in a 1st term Bloomberg era, crime was low enough that NYPD was finding the dumbest shit to fine someone over.
