It would be threats. MPD typically does simple assault for an actual physical assault, and threats in a menacing manner or threats to do bodily harm (misd), or threats to kidnap or injure a person (felony) for non-physical threats.

From my experience with metro-transit they usually do the same.

Edit: it would also be deemed a hate/bias crime, which would prompt notifying the liason and a detective.

There are two things.

  1. I've seen a lot of people jumping as a common occurrence. Everyone should pay their fare to help maintain the system.

  2. There's definitely a correlation between crime and fares. Someone who's stealing wallets probably isn't very interested in paying the fare.

I got pulled over by FBI for expired tags once. It was kinda weird because the officer was really nice. She apologized for pulling me over, said ‘they’re making us do this now’ and made some friendly small talk. I thought she was going to let me off but I still got a ticket.
