Subway Police Arrest Musician After Reading Aloud Statute That Allows Him To Play

Post by Latinos Post.

I'm not anti-police in any way. But it's clear the cop couldn't put his ego aside after being wrong about the law. The musician literally knew the exact statute to quote.

Here is the law the officer actually reads aloud:

Section 1050.6c
Except as expressly permitted in this subdivision, no person shall engage in any nontransit uses upon any facility or conveyance. Nontransit uses are noncommercial activities that are not directly related to the use of a facility or conveyance for transportation. The following nontransit uses are permitted by the Authority, provided they do not impede transit activities and they are conducted in accordance with these rules: public speaking; campaigning; leafletting or distribution of written noncommercial materials; activities intended to encourage and facilitate voter registration; artistic performances, including the acceptance of donations.

Bolding is mine.
