TRIMET ENDS UP IN FEDERAL COURT DUE TO ITS ROUGE FARE INSPECTORS

She said a blond woman sitting on a bench applauded her for standing up for free speech. Nearby, a man appeared to be filming her exchange with the inspector, prompting Boltjes to tell him he couldn't do that, Bricker testified.
TriMet code does not prohibit riders from filming or taking photos at stations or on vehicles.
Visibly enraged, Bricker said the inspector prevented her from getting on the next two trains before kicking her off the transit system for a month. She had no prior record of problems on TriMet.
"It was the content of my speech that was objectionable," Bricker testified, "not the volume."

Portland attorney says TriMet's questionable enforcement of noise rules violated free-speech rights | OregonLive.com

Only at the informal fare inspection hearing.They always back up the fare inspectors.
THE ACLU HAS TAKEN THAT CASE!
That speaks for itself!
We shall see how the FEDERAL COURT views this rouge behavior.
