How is this not guilty until proven innocent? You have to prove you paid, otherwise you're assumed guilty.
- fortran77 7y agoThis is not the United States of America.
- londons_explore 7y agoThere is a specific law in the UK requiring production of a ticket to a railway inspector. Doesn't matter if you paid - you are convicted if you are unable to produce a ticket when asked. Considering that, I'm very surprised this reporter had her conviction quashed - it looks like she broke the law, even if she didn't intend to. (Intent is not required for a conviction for this law).
