LRT Safety

^I go to the Winspear often. EPS and Peace Officers are there all the time. They usher them out and then they come back again in 15 minutes. It's an endless cycle.

Officers can ticket or remove individuals from loitering on transit property, but often they choose just to move them along. If they need social supports they're directed as such. Rarely do they charge someone under a provincial summons anymore for racking up multiple fines. That used to be fairly common but now it is more frowned up as clogging up the judicial system, and often folks have their cases dismissed for the lengthy delays they face.
While there is some overlap, there is a difference between people lingering because of accommodation problems who need social support and those lingering for criminal reasons who IMO need incarceration.
