People dealing with Lane have to realize this man has a pretty high IQ, he is NOT as he appears.
Mr Radford is not intimidated. That's good. I thought he acted professionally. Unfortunately Lane has rights and he is NOT BOTHERING ANYBODY.
So stop chasing him around.

I made the following comment on Lane's blog:
ReplyDeleteThere was one other thing that this supervisor did that I THINK WAS ILLEGAL, he ran a R-CHECK ON LANE BEFORE REQUESTING TO SEE HIS VALID FARE.
It is my understanding that the TRIMET CODE only allows a TRIMET EMPLOYEE to ask to see valid fare. If there is NO VALID FARE, then the employee can ask for ID!
THIS INSPECTOR HAD NO RIGHT TO ASK FOR R-CHECK SINCE HE DID NOT ASK FOR VALID FARE.
THAT IS A VIOLATION OF THE TRIMET CODE!
29.20 Identification. A person failing to exhibit Proof of Payment upon demand by an Inspector or a peace officer shall provide the Inspector or peace officer, his or her name and residence address and shall exhibit upon request of the Inspector or peace officer whatever written identification, if any, may be carried by the person. Pursuant to ORS 153.039, an Inspector or a peace officer may stop and detain persons for the purpose of issuing a citation.
