What would happen if a passenger threw a handful of change in the train conductor's face?

Question

And on a side note, what if you were that train conductor and you could either just get'em in trouble like proper procedure would teach you, or use your OWN brand of justice and open a can of whoop-as@ on him with a Stone Cold Stunner, and then throw his as@ off the train at the next stop, which would you prefer?

But again, aside from that, what would more than likely happen in real life if the passenger threw that handful of change in his face?

Answer 1

With communications as sophisticated as they are, I would make arrangements to have the offender taken into custody at the next stop. I don't know if an Amtrak employee has the same degree of protection as a postal employee, but if so, WATCH OUT!

Answer 2

That would be simple battery and the change thrower will go to jail and receive court supervision and anger management classes. Sometimes people need a can of whoop-@s* opened on them. I've seen a real change in peoples attitude over that action. But, the reality is, we must be nice and sue the c**p out of them in court.

Answer 3

You would be arrested on the spot, and handed over to the Police.

Types like the scenarioed idiot  deserve a swift kick up the bum with size 10 steel-capped boots !

Answer 4

If i was him i would come across with a right while my elbow follows through into his cheak bones the ill open palm him up into his nose driving his brain into the back of his skull rendering him To heaven or h**l.... how ever his life path was...

Answer 5

he would say f**k u

Answer 6

I work for the NYCTA and although I would be tempted to teach him/her some NY justice I would lose my job but on the other hand we are allowed to defend ourselves.

Good Luck

Answer 7

Personally if it were me??

Well I thing being tied to the nose of the BNSF Hot Shot through the Mojave Desert at 80 Miles per hour during August when the temprature is about 118F in the shade should be entertaining.

Maybe a nice cruise tied to the nose of the Union Pacific Salad Bowl Express over Donner Summit in Mid January when the temprature is 10F with a -30F Wind Chill Factor.

Or maybe on the Central Valley Route in the spring when all of the bees are pollenating.  

I can think of lost of other things, but they wouldn't let me submit those here.  Mainly because there are several locations on a Locomotive where searing flesh can happen.

All joking aside.  The person would probably get put off at the next station stop.  I say this because two years ago on Amtrak I was assitant to a Conductor that put someone off for smoking weed on the train.  He got into a fight with the conductor, and my wife and I who both do Armed Security for a living offered assistance.  We put him off the train into the waiting arms of Redding Police Department.

That is the other problem.  By the time the train gets to the next station, the Police are already there waiting for you.

It's sort of like "Nowhere To Run" by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas!

Answer 8

The assailant would be shot in the face

Answer 9

It would be up to the conductor, but in all likelihood he would leave the immediate vicinity of the individual, and radio for police assistance at the next station.  The police would arrest the individual, and there would be a decision whether or not to press charges, and if so, what would be the charge.

Answer 10

Well, in the State of California, conductors will call for police on a simple ASSAULT (threat of violence)... throwing change would be BATTERY (actual violence), and they'd arrest him and charge him fully.

I've seen several cases of this... the Conductors on CalTrain and ACE do NOT take it lightly.  The Cops LOVE to come and collect the offenders.
