up to 30% prisinors in berlin cause of blackriding Show more

the peak of prisinors being cadged because of #blackriding is in #berlin around 30%

30% of the people inside the prison being there because society denied them a right for transportation.

The argumentation behind this is that it couldn't be otherwise financed.
Well how about having 30% blackriders in the prison costs you very much?

And yet there are profen concepts of open accsess transportation just working great

@paulfree14 that is surprisingly and excessively harsh, in UK the only way someone usually gets prison for this is to be doing it regularly for years *and* then being violent to the guards and transport cops when caught or also dealing hard drugs.

More common they are just banned from the station area (there is CCTV everywhere in UK public transport and has been since 1960s in London)

(BTW Schwarzfahren is better translated as "fare evasion")

@vfrmedia yeah normaly you need to have done it more often but by law it is possible to happen with the first time.
penality is up to one year prison, or to pay a fine.
Thought most people fare evasion do so cause of having lack of resources.
To pay the fine might therefor be difficult...so prison is the answer if one has some bad luck.

@paulfree14 although UK folk can go to prison for non payment its usually for repeated offences involving cars (more dangerous), magistrates/judges here are supposed to check someones income before setting fines.

for train fare evasion by someone who genuinely cannot afford the fare its community work and/or exclusion from the station area for a certain time period (below is UK info, its a bit complex legal stuff)
