most outlandish thing I've seen on BART

You've probably seen worse, but this is my topper.

Back when I first started taking BART to/from work I'd take the 3:50ish train from Richmond back towards Fremont. I tended to doze off between Richmond and Del Norte.

One day, I wake up to the "click" of a lighter and a "sssssssuuuuusssssst!" noise.

I look across the aisle and a bohemian gentleman employed by the underground economy has a blowtorch lighter beneath a "dish" made from aluminum foil. In his mouth is a rolled up dollar bill. "click" goes the lighter, "sssssuuusssssT!" he goes as he inhales the fumes from his tinfoil cup.

Was it meth or crack? I didn't care, I was outta that car fast. All in full view of the cameras.

Yes yes, I should have alerted the T.O., but I didn't at the time. I was a little too surprised to think about it at the time. It was pretty brazen.

What you also could've done

What you also could've done was call BART Police at 1-877-679-7000 or 911.

Good reason not to live in

Good reason not to live in Richmond. Also this proves that those cameras aren't monitored in real-time, because if they were, they would have dispatched one of the lazy, underqualified bart police to confront this nogoodnik.

That is a strange? I would have thought someone with an avatar "hitting the bong" wouldn't want a lazy, underqualified BART Police officer monitoring the train at all!

Just my two cents. I'll get back to doing nothing now!

There's an entire department

There's an entire department at BART - COMSPEC - whose job it is, is to monitor cameras and call in something that seems out of the ordinary.
