Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul told her constituents to “go home” Thursday if they don’t want their bags checked at subway stations throughout New York City.
Nearly 1,000 members of the New York state police, MTA police and National Guard were reportedly deployed throughout NYC’s busiest subway stations on Wednesday to allegedly help curb a spike in transit crime. Cameras will be installed throughout subway stations as a hopeful deterrent to criminals, and those using New York’s trains will have their belongings checked before traveling, according to tweets posted Wednesday by Hochul.
