Why are we even having this conversation? What conversation you ask? Did I neglect to tell you? Please forgive me. The conversation is…
Is Criminal Privacy Protection Really More Important Than Law Abiding Citizen Protection?
BART is the public transportation system in the San Francisco Bay Area. BART is concerned about Racial Stereotyping, therefore, it was refusing to show videos it had in its possession of criminals committing crimes on its trains.
A lawsuit was filed to force BART to show the bad guys doing the bad things they did.

Eventually BART was forced to release a video and here is what happened…
Suspect Arrested in 2 Unprovoked Attacks on BART Trains
By Filipa Joannou and Alison Graham

“A suspect in two unprovoked attacks on passengers riding on BART trains in the past week was arrested Monday morning, 2.5 hours after police released surveillance photos of him, officials said.
BART Deputy Police Chief Ed Alvarez said an Oakland firefighter recognized the suspect from the surveillance images and reported him to police.”
I wonder if BART now sees the correlation between Releasing the Videos and Catching Bad Guys who attacked its Law Abiding Citizen Riders or are we about to hear and see a Bart Spokesman step up to the mike and issue a lawyer-approved statement that goes something like this?...
I wish to assure our criminal element riders that they should not draw any erroneous conclusions about this being an on-going policy regarding BART’s continued release of videos showing you non-law abiding criminals committing crimes on our trains.
Our lawyers are in consultation at this very moment finding out exactly how this release happened. At this moment we are baffled but BART wants our Criminal Ridership to know that we have your best interest at heart.
Yes, we are very aware that Criminals Are People Too!

I also wonder if one of BART’s concerns is loss of revenue if criminals were to quit riding their trains.
If so, I feel certain the Federal Government probably has funds set aside to supplement BART’s income until they can entice the criminals to start riding (and attacking) again.
Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: There was a famous Bear Actor (a real Kodiak Bear that was an actor in many movies) that killed his trainer on April 23, 2008. The Bear Actor was named BART. I wonder if there is a video of BART killing his trainer. If there is a video of BART killing his trainer, I wonder if they smudged out BART’s Head in the interest of Bart’s Privacy Concerns.
