BART police handcuff, cite man for eating sandwich on platform

PLEASANT HILL, Calif. (KGO) -- A Concord man is speaking out after he was handcuffed and detained by BART police for eating on the platform at the Pleasant Hill station.

Steve Foster of Concord tells ABC7 News this all happened Monday morning at the Pleasant Hill station when he was approached by a BART police officer.

"I was just up there eating my sandwich waiting for the train to come."

Foster says the officer, wearing the name badge McCormick, walked past several other people eating and drinking on the platform and confronted him. His girlfriend caught the interaction on her cellphone.

He was even handcuffed.

"I'm definitely upset, mad, a little frustrated, angry about it," said Foster.

BART says state law prohibits people from eating or drinking in the paid portions of the station. In other words, from the time you enter the turnstiles to the time to exit them at your destination.

BART released a statement on Friday in response.

"He was not arrested. He was cited for eating, which is a violation of state law," said spokeswoman Alicia Trost.

She adds the man was lawfully handcuffed after refusing to provide his name multiple times. Once he provided his name, he was cited and released."

Foster doesn't plan to sue, but he does have some advice.

"I hope they start focusing on stuff that actually matters like people shooting up dope, hopping the BART, people getting stabbed."

Ah, there's the rub

Lol, they want to be taken seriously with the name BART.

Either that or a crotchety old man in general. Pleasant Hill and Thousand Oaks are basically the Florida of the Bay Area.
What makes it sad is I can 100% see a befuddled well-off old dude not imagining for a second eating at a train stop would be illegal and all of this being a bad case of a misunderstanding spiraling out of control.

 

[break these cuffs]

Such a crack officer that he managed to forget his vest that day and had to wear someone else's

 

[mindlessobserver]

Ah, there's the rub

Ah, so we now turn to the sacred United States book of codes, chapter 9 verse 22. And lo as worthy free man was detained he cried out in his affliction, demanding answer to the doubt of his detention that had driven his heart to duress. But the great oppressor answered him naught, for his mind was moved by envy, his heart was as stone, and he knew not the sacred words of the Book of Codes.

It's a nigra (I'm actually amazed the article doesn't include the phrase ", who is black")

Somebody's been reading his thesaurus.

But it's probably legal to shit on the platform..... it's a hate crime to tell people not to embrace Hinduism like that.

In San Fransisco a cop would be put on leave for arresting some one for public defication

I'm tempted to side with the "uncooperative nigger" on this one. How retarded does your transit system have to be where having a sandwich at a stop is a criminal offense?

I'm loving all the lily white progressives trying to tapdance around how absurd the law itself is by saying "well he should've taken context into account before arresting him".

How exceptional does your transit system have to be where having a sandwich at a stop is a criminal offense?

Also its MASS TRANSIT and he wasn't even on the train nor was he littering

It's so it doesn't become a dump like NYC trains. You know this coon would just throw the wrapper on the floor when he's done with it. This is just another case of black people thinking they're above the law.

Why not just take the ticket and fight it in court? Because the low black IQ paired with 0 impulse control makes him think he can just shit talk his way out of any situation. Would this be news if he was white? No because he would have just said " Ok sorry sir didn't know this wasn't allowed! I will finish this delicious sandwich later. Thanks for the warning have a great day!"

Oh dear, that blonde woman they interviewed for no apparent reason looks like she always wants to see the manager.

Does anyone know what was on the sandwich?

 

[Rice Is Ready]

Does anyone know what was on the sandwich?

Probably lettuce, tomato, onion, mayonnaise, and a slice of cheese. How do you like yours?

 

[LazyLizard]

California where drugs, human smuggling and knowingly infecting people with aids is all totally ok but eating a sandwich outside gets you arrested.

if california was nuked would anything of worth actually be lost?

BART is the Best and Worst Thing to ever happen to the Bay Area.
