The Man

This morning, I boarded the 7 train at Times Square and sat down. I then proceeded to watch two cops give two different people tickets for passing through the inside car doors to the next car. This is apparently malum prohibitum. Note that the train was not moving. It typically sits at Times Square for several minutes because it's the first stop on the line.

Normally I'm all about the NYPD enforcing "quality of life"-type laws, but do these cops really have nothing better to do than give a ticket to a person passing safely between two cars of a stationary train?
