SEATTLE — The Washington state Supreme Court will consider whether fare enforcement on public transit represents an unconstitutional incursion into passengers’ right to privacy.
The implications for Sound Transit, King County Metro’s RapidRide routes, Snohomish County’s Community Transit and other agencies that employ fare enforcement officers are significant. But for Tobin Klusty, attorney for Meredith, a rejection of the case — which is being supported by the ACLU of Washington, King County Department of Public Defense and the Washington Defender Association — would signal an endorsement of unlawful search and seizures by law enforcement officers.
The court of appeals said Meredith had consented to the officers’ questioning by boarding the bus in the first place.
Total Joke... Thieves and Meth Heads already don't pay the fare, and drivers Don't ask if they payed for fear of violent retaliation. C'mon.
How can asking proof you paid your bus fare be a violation of one’s civil rights? If that’s the case asking for one’s vax status violates one’s civil rights?
