alt: got pulled over by the police when my friend threw a sandwich box out of the window. the same friend who'd been arrested for hanging out of a car window the week before. stay classy, stockport.
also got done on the DLR for going out to zone 3 to come back in because it was quicker. we didn't want to pay, because we hadn't got off. the inspector disagreed (maybe because he caught us getting off the front and running down to the back to avoid him). he wrote on our ticket: "stroppy teenagers avoiding fare."
altalt: gorilla.

I had a ticket for zones 1 and 2, but got off at the outer most one (7, perhaps). Totally got away with it, I am a rebel.

They have machines that validate tickets and they rarely work. It's a classic "pick on tourist and fuck them" scam but, the police have guns, so meh, what you gonna do?

but "disproportionally fined a vast amount whilst having a submachine gun casually pointed at me what with obviously being a westerner and this being 15 years ago" doesn't really have the same ring to it.
