"In 2000, a police officer handcuffed a 12-year-old girl for eating a french fry on a subway platform.
In 2002, one of their officers ticketed a wheelchair-bound cerebral palsy patient for cursing when he was unable to find a working elevator to leave a station. Unflattering publicity eventually led the police to void the ticket."
This is absolutely absurd. I understand the need for cleanliness and adherence to littering laws, but this is taking it way too far. Why was the woman even handcuffed and detained for three hours? Couldn't they just have given her a fine or something?
