just saying

is it just me or does it seem like police are willing to arrest people for any thing in new york case in point I was going to class and I did not have enough money to get on the train I kindly asked someone for a swipe to get on so I get on and this undercover officer shows me his badge and arrests me for panhandling! which is is not a crime under new york state law it does not even warrent arrest!! so i'm taken through the system and given time served for a non-crime not a felony not a misdemeanor but a "violation" which is a non-crime but apparently warrents arrest wow!
