... is the unnamed Laval, Quebec (a suburb of Montreal) police officer who detained and handcuffed a 38-year-old woman and then issued her two tickets worth $420, all because she ignored his demand to hang onto the handrail of the subway escalator she was riding.
"[Laval Constable Nathalie] Lorrain added Kosoian was repeatedly warned that she would be given a ticket if she continued to resist holding onto the handrail."
The "authorities" apparently take their handrail-holding policies seriously up there.
What happens when a person with one arm who's toting a briefcase, or an injured person who can't raise their arms decides to ride the train? Prison?
"The police officers told me she probably had a bad day... Lorrain said."
If we were being unnecessarily harangued by a nanny-state bully, we'd be having a bad day too.
