What the fuck, Oakland cops?

Recommended Posts

I think I saw somewhere that they're actual cops and that BART was given its own 'jurisdiction' to avoid territorial pissing matches between like Oakland and San Fransisco or whatev. I can't speak from authority on that, though.

Yeah, Byron is right there. BART is part of the SFPD.

The BART Police Department is the police force of the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART).

The BART Police Department has over 296 police personnel, of which 206 are sworn peace officers. BART Police officers are given their powers of arrest from Section 830.33(a) P.C.. Although their powers extend throughout the state, like those of most California peace officers, their primary jurisdiction is on BART property. They can however, take enforcement action for crimes in progress, including traffic infractions, away from BART properties.
