You thought you had gotten away with it, and maybe you have until now.
You, fellow BART rider, with your coffee thermos when you know
beverages aren't allowed. You, with your bicycle rolled in beside you
during peak hours. You, who thinks your fake Juicy Couture purse needs
its own seat. Your days are numbered. You are being watched.

BART is taking a page right out of the Stasi playbook and asking for passengers to spy on each other, snap photos their bad behavior, and out them on BART's very own Facebook page for all the world to gape.
So far only one rider has joined the witch hunt, one tattletale named "lgrhone" who shot some rather laid-back fellow spanning two seats for the handicapped with his widely sprawled legs, and a bicycle parked in front of him. The snitch wrote: "rude people like this guy should be fined. He took over two disabled seats during rush hour." A somewhat legit complaint if you're anal like that, but we're guessing it's only a matter of time until the pics of the nose-pickers start rolling in.
Well, we haven't captured any bad actors yet. (Too bad the scent left in one BART car two weeks back that had me breathing through my turtleneck could not be captured on film.) But we did snap the above photo of a girl playing angsty folk music inside a frog head some months back at the 24th Street/Mission station, and thought it was worth sharing.
