Suing Railroad Companies/Railroad Police

[Crazy Hobo Johnny]

This is an interesting article I dug up. How interesting states like Wyoming and Minnesota prohibited railroad police from having law enforcement authority.

Have u hoped trains

Yes, I have! But since I do security, getting a criminal trespass charge would affect my state license here in Wisconsin and Arizona. So I limited my freight hopping activities!!!

Interesting so far. Ive got a trespassing on rr property ticket when we were not on rr property and had not been on their property. Oh well.


My personal exp with the bull has been wway more chill than normal cops.

Please explain.
How could you trespass to a place you haven't been to? I don't understand..

Good question. Jail is worse than a ticket..I didnt waste time asking and went to another spot to catch my train.

Over 300 arrests in overtown miami since 2009 for trespassing, uh no shit it's right next to the fec mainline if I'm not mistaken.

I think it's great that those states are giving bulls less legal authority. Now having said that I've been given a stern talking to by a bull or two and let go when in a similar situation I'm sure I would of spent a few nights in county if deputy soandso was solely in charge of the situation.

In my observations I'm seeing more unsworn and unarmed security type people. Their job is to observe and report. They can ask trespassers to leave but they're not LEOs. They can detain someone with handcuffs if necessary but that's rare.

You are 110% correct! Because I am in the security business! Thanks for sharing that! Yes, security officers are not police officers!
