Screen grab from video below

I was at the trolley station, along with another friend in a wheelchair. We had just helped a third friend, who is paraplegic, get onto the trolley. We were stopped by the officer, who asked for our transit cards. We told him we were just leaving, but he explained that anyone on the premises needed to have transit cards. We have discounted transit cards that are available to people with disabilities, which we showed him. But he also wanted written proof that we indeed had disabilities. My friend had this on him; I did not. So the officer confiscated my transit card.



It's obvious I have a disability. I have no hard feelings against the officer who stopped us; he was following orders. But this policy goes against common sense. The transit authority should seriously consider changing it.
