well, i'm a fairly observant guy and I posted in this thread in the first place because it was unusual to see VPD supervising the skytrain platform at all, let alone checking fares at the top of the stairs. maybe i was wrong but i doubt it. do transit police carry tasers along with lethal weaponry? (not to say that tasers aren't lethal, which is what all law enforcement wants people to believe but is in fact a load of sh**).
