Bay Area Rapid Transit police were considering new restrictions on the media following the handcuffing and detention of at least six professional and student journalists at a protest.

BART Deputy Police Chief Daniel Hartwig said one idea was to have designated areas for media with a police line. Police would then arrest those who cross the line....

BART officials have defended their decision to detain the journalists, saying they asked the reporters to leave and could not check credentials in the heat of the moment.

But Ward Bushee, editor and executive vice president of The Chronicle, said he found it "extremely concerning" that a Chronicle reporter was handcuffed and detained.

Oh boy! First Amendment zones! :scared: If they're going to be fascists, the least they could do is make the trains run on time. :eyes:

2. Yes, but the fascists DIDN'T make the trains run on time. Preserved train schedules proved it.
