Transit officers charged with assault Interesting article I've never been a fan of transit police and never really understood why they're so overly aggresive/unfriendly.... I guess if you witness any misconduct by them try to get it on camera just in case... Quote:

Weird. I've never had a single issue with transit cops. The fact that a large portion of them are former RCMP officers means that they're usually all pretty chill and respectful. Only times I've seen them get agressive is when the people they're talking to get lippy and try to run away. :dunno: |

Probably helps that the area is pretty high traffic throughout the day. |

not surprising given the fact transit pd went on a hiring binge to increase its headcount; thereby, taking among their ranks sheriffs and custom officers (that to which would not pass muster under any circumstances in the normal VPD and RCMP ranks) |
transit cops are now split between ex-RCMPs and really young new recruits. |

I hate transit officers, esp the ones at the seabus because theyre anal about every single detail there is. But what can i say, a job is a job right? |
slightly off-topic but I've always wondered, can transit police vehicles issue tickets on the road? They seriously look like any other cop car except it's printed transit police. In theory I don't think so but if it's former RCMP police... I don't know. Maybe? dL |
^ transit police have all the power that regular cops have. transit authority on the other hand is different i believe. |

They are multi jurisdictional where as VPD is only supposed to be in Vancouver. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_C...Police_Service |
on an off note... i remember i was checked for my transit pass at stadium a couple years back. i opened my wallet to show them the monthly pass i had in my windowed slot. the 2 transit police said "who does he think he is, 007?" and laughed at me. lol. what a bunch of douches. seriously. |

they are bullies |
Just because you never had issues with one doesn't mean they're all nice and stuff. Just because you had issues with couple of them, doesn't mean they're all assholes. |
I've dealt with good transit cops and bad ones, just like with the police. Just tread them with respect and if the are dicks just brush it off because if you don't it's way to much of a hassle to deal with the BS. |
Fuk the police |
There's always good and bad ones just like good and bad bus drivers. It's not like all of them are bad or all of them are good. You just can't generalize like that. |
