	MTA NYC Transit - Rules of Conduct
		A prohibition against “turnstile jumping”, entering through an exit gate, etc. would be added to Section 1050.4(a) which deals with payment of fare and access to NYCT facilities.
		Situations arise currently where passengers “jump” the turnstiles or enter through an exit gate when their time-based card is swiped improperly or malfunctions.
		However, “turnstile jumping” and related conduct, whatever the stated rationale, create an environment of disorder, including the perception among other passengers that the fare was evaded.

	The Big Apple: Iron Maiden or HEET (High Entrance/Exit Turnstile)
		The turnstile was the high-gated variety, known as an ‘’iron maiden,’’ and there was no token clerk in sight.
		There was a trio of waist-high turnstiles that would have allowed the crowd to pass through almost as if there were no barrier, but they were barred.
		Like several riders using the exit recently, Lee was unaware that on both sides of the turnstiles are intercoms to talk to a clerk at a full-time booth 400 feet down the platform, who could open emergency gates with the push of a button.

		Yes, felonies in the subway are running 17 percent ahead of last year, but at the same time turnstile jumping is down about 16 percent, so things pretty much balance out.
		In fact, the police, through a fancy bit of reasoning, actually connect the drop in turnstile jumpers with the increase in robberies.
		And turnstile jumpers were very often arrested right then and there, preventing them from going about their nefarious business.

		Turnstile jumping–getting into the subway without paying–became the city's favorite sport.
		(One of the early joys of the Giuliani administration was heading to the West Fourth Street subway station to watch cops round up a few hundred turnstile jumpers and bus them to a three-hour adventure at police headquarters.) A million people were on welfare.
		They decided to start arresting folks who were jumping them.

	Bernard E. Harcourt: Policing Disorder
		This policy is driven by the "broken windows theory"—the idea that tolerating such minor infractions as graffiti spraying, aggressive panhandling, prostitution, public urination, and turnstile jumping encourages serious violent crime by sending a signal that the community is not in control.
		Royster was identified after he was arrested for turnstile jumping in the subway.
		Someone arrested for turnstile jumping may be fired for missing work; and strained police-civilian relations can create friction between the community and the police force that may be detrimental to solving crimes.

		His perceived accomplishments in improving the "quality of life" in New York are, in reality, abuses of police discretion and the perpetuation of a racial double standard in law enforcement.
		For whites, Guiliani's improved "quality of life" may be manifested in the form of cleaner streets, fewer "broken windows" and a marked decline in subway turnstile jumpers.
		Even if a hefty fine for turnstile jumping seems draconian in comparison with other cities' policies, no civil liberties are violated if an existing law is aggressively but uniformly enforced.

	I fought the law, Vol. 7: Bring it on! on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
		It remains to be seen whether this argument will be vindicated in my case, but I know that others who engaged in "turnstile-jumping" (such as the guy mentioned in the Daily News article) have had their charges dismissed on that basis.
		Well, the Transit Authority has proposed an amendment to the relevant rule, which would provide that anyone who sneaks under (or jumps over) a turnstile to enter a subway platform is per se guilty of fare evasion.
		Given the frequency with which the farecards malfunction (thus leading some passengers to "turnstile jump" out of desperation), I think the proposed amendment is a very bad idea.

	UTU: News
		Turnstile jumping as a virtual synonym for fare evasion may have made perfect sense in the days of the subway token, but prepaid MetroCards complicate matters.
		The reason for wondering is that transit officials said yesterday, in response to a question, that violators would continue to be charged with fare evasion.
		So here was someone charged with enforcing the rules who felt, whatever they may say at subway headquarters, that jumping a turnstile does not automatically equal fare evasion.

	Broken Win (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		This "broken windows" theory — the idea that tolerating minor infractions like graffiti, aggressive panhandling and turnstile jumping encourages more serious crimes by sending a signal that the community is not in control — has been endorsed in some form by all the candidates.
		The broken-windows policy has made possible a 66 percent jump in misdemeanor arrests from 1993 to 1998 and sharp increases in stop-and-frisks that allow more searches for guns, more checks for outstanding warrants and more fingerprint collection.
		This enhanced surveillance has come with a big price tag: a 37 percent increase in complaints of police misconduct from 1993 to 1999, significant racial disparities in enforcement, illegal strip searches and many traumatic encounters — some of them deadly — for ordinary citizens.

	Thoughts on Freakonomics (reddit.com)
		So, in NYC under Dinkens, cops were not encouraged to hassle the petty thieves, whereas Guilliani (or Bratton, at least) insisted on hammering "quality of life" crimes.
		And the value of nabbing people for petty crap, such as turnstile jumping, is not that it sets an example and deters others, but that it gives cops an excuse to search them for weapons, and hold them while they check for outstanding warrants.
		I just want to emphasize something you touched on: it was noticed that turnstile jumpers often turn out to be wanted for much more serious crimes.

		I would not jump the turnstile, unless I was unaware that the people were professing to be police.

		And, now of course, we learned that he didn’t run, he didn’t hop the turnstile and that he wasn’t even wearing that suspiciously large bomb concealing jacket that allegedly lead to his murder.

		When he crossed the street to the downtown platform, he of course got the “just used” message at the turnstile, and the clerk, he says, refused to help.

	Wired New York Forum - Subway Officials Seek Ban on Picture-Taking
		Transit officials also proposed a tougher rule against turnstile jumping, banning it even if a miscreant has a fare card and acts out of frustration when the card or a turnstile malfunctions, and they suggested new rules against walking between subway cars, putting feet on seats and misusing student or senior reduced-fare cards.
		The police officers, who would not give their names, said they had been ordered to enforce a spate of proposed changes to subway rules, which include no turnstile jumping, riding between subway cars or taking pictures with still or video cameras.
		Also included in regulation 21 NYCRR 1050.9c are stiffer penalties for hopping turnstiles, walking between cars, and using seats as footrests.
