Once the new HD cameras are installed, it should be much much better.
And of course they will ask for more money.

Berz out. | That's cool and all they gave ICBC the power to collect the fines,but what good does that do when the majority of the people are broke ass who have been riding the skytrain for the last 10 years who don't have a driver's license or own a car,I doubt they wil be buying a car anytime soon.
There is also a statue of limitations on collections,I think it's like 5 years or some shit,I could be wrong.

Scared maybe? We don't know what kind of weapon they may have. I'm sure once someone stepped in to try to stop them, everyone would jump in and help. But it takes courage for that first person to step in and stop those thieves.
I can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing, just standing and watch.

suspect #1(picture in OP's post) looks like the guy that scammed me with 500 dollars worth of fake bills... fake bills that even fooled the officers at the police station until they took a UV light to it

Is just the way how tranist handles things make it so that you don't want to help.
I remember maybe a year ago.... a guide dog guding a person to the skytrain and somehow it got dragged by the skytrain when the door close..... transit never compensate anything for it, so if I get injury don't think transit will compensate as well......
Is easy for us to blame the by standers now.

Some day I hope a punk bitch pulls something like this when I'm around.

Global has reported (on their fb):
"One of the thieves who stole an iPad from wheelchair-bound woman with celebral palsy has been arrested. Police have good lead on suspect #2"
Unfortunately, I am waiting for the report that he has been released from custody....and given probation.

You won't be able to renew your ID or License (also could garnish wages given the new legislation). The statue of Limitations on debt collections is 7 years but that is from the date the Agency takes on the debt not the time at which the debt occurred.
Berz out.

Sad that will probably just get a slap on the wrist.
It sucks that bystanders just stood and watched.
Some people just don't want to get involved with something
that would put themselves in any sorry of risk.
And of course if you got inured while fighting the thieves,
Translink wouldn't compensate... It has nothing to do with them.

Allowing someone who has been convicted of a crime to walk free will do nothing to reform them. In the long run, this type of affirmative action hurts the First Nations community.
