Fare evasion: A Brooklyn subway station becomes a hotbed for bold people cheating the system
A Brooklyn subway station is a hotspot for fare evasion as the MTA continues its fight to stop the money-losing scourge throughout the city.
Commuters tipped off amNewYork to rampant fare evasion at the Metropolitan Avenue/Lorimer Street station in Williamsburg, home to the G and L trains. During our visit to the station on a quiet afternoon on July 21, a reporter witnessed no fewer than four people hopping the turnstiles within 30 minutes.
Two fare evaders even jumped over the turnstile at the station’s Union Street and Metropolitan Avenue entrance, where there was a station agent on duty not far away.

Ex-LMPD detective Brett Hankison sentenced to 33 months in prison
A federal judge sentenced former Louisville Police detective Brett Hankison to 33 months in prison for the shots he fired during the fatal 2020 raid on Breonna Taylor's apartment.
The July 21 sentence was in defiance of a last-minute request from federal prosecutors that Hankison receive only a one-day sentence.
Western District of Kentucky Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings said she was “troubled” by the prosecutors' July 16 sentencing memorandum, as well as their arguments towards leniency in court on Monday.
The seriousness of this crime is obvious,” she said at one point.
Briefly addressing the court, Hankison said in hindsight, if he knew all the facts about the situation during the raid he knew now, “I never would have fired my gun.”
He was convicted of violating Taylor’s civil rights the night she was killed by firing a total of 10 shots into her apartment through a sliding glass door and window that were covered by blinds. None of the shots Hankison fired hit her, though some passed into a neighboring apartment where a man, a pregnant woman and young child were present.
He was fired from LMPD for "blindly" shooting into Taylor's apartment.
