As for the second one - nothing wrong with it as such, but it's the fact that the girl is just a kid... Granted if you let her off once, she'd probably do it again... I just think they take pleasure in doing it though.
And what proof you got of that statement? Also the girl that was fine because assumingly she did not have a valid ticket but should be let off because she is a "kid"... How do you know she is not 16 or over... she looks around 16 too me so hardly a 10 year old and a teenager should know better anyways. Person that is in the wheelchair, how can anyone judge from the photo that the person is actually being fined? And even so, should we really be lenient just because the person has got a disability or is in a wheelchair? If a person got a disability and they assaulted someone, should they get away with it because their disability affected their behaviour? You be setting a dangerous precedent if you did. The guy that is tackled to the ground, is there anything against a anyone using some sort of self defense? for all we know the guy could of been very aggressive and out of control and you don't really want anyone to be behaving like that when you got a drop to the train track nearby! Number 1 priority is your own safety so whilst I'm sure a lot of people would take that photo out of the context and label it as mean inspector and poor guy on the ground, perhaps we should actually see the full incident before we judge either way and that goes for all the photos really.
Checky watch is nothing but fraud and the owner is just one of those lazy folk who feels everything should be free. And if your wondering why Metro Inspectors look miserable etc, then its the same with bus drivers, you have to deal with members of the public which there are some who drives you nuts!
The other simple fact is, BUY A VALID TICKET and you won't have to deal with the inspectors apart from showing them your ticket. Travelling without a ticket is fraud and therefore an offense so anyone travelling without a ticket and gets caught is always pleasing too see.
