I mean if it wasn’t them, I guarantee you another agency would have went and got them or had jurisdiction. They wouldn’t have been like welp, I guess he outsmarted us. I’d rather gut them, use the money to fund transit, and rely on local police. Another perk would be I wouldn’t have to watch the same one mad mug people going into my local station. I have yet to actually see them do anything useful personally. Just walk around. Once they were clearly looking for someone. Some are plain clothes though too so at least they have to enjoy the stink and suck with us.

Behind the State Police, I think the MBTA Transit Police has the largest jurisdiction. They are responsible for anything MBTA but they can also pull you over for traffic stuff I guess. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a transit cop riding the train, however, when I use to get off at Forest Hills, the transit cops I saw usually seemed busy.
