My wife and myself use Transport in Greater Manchester a few times per week. Whilst travelling by Tram from Bury to Victoria Manchester a few inspectors boarded this tram just a few stops from Victoria and began to check tickets.
One youth was stood near the doors and was prompted by one of the inspectors to produce his ticket, he hadn't got one but was then left alone. I heard the conversation between them and called the inspector over. I said to him, "had that been us you would have made an example of us" he told us the youth was a regular offender and was known to them. Thing was, this youth was allowed to continue to Victoria? Seems being a regular offender you get away and travel scot free.
This isn't the first time we have come across a similar situation.
