man i have no idea. people don't commonly sleep on the trains in NYC but i didn't think you could get arrested for it if you did. i guess it's possible he didn't speak fluent enough english to explain himself so they just thought he was a vagrant?

He barely speaks any English at all, which makes me wonder if some kind of language/cultural misunderstanding occurred. Either way, you'd think that after they found out he was a tourist they'd go a little easier on him? Maybe he was stupid and didn't have his passport on him, or something? IDK. Sending him to court for it just seems so ridiculous. =/

that's prolly what it was. american cops tend to just expect everyone to speak english, so they probably took his silence and/or inability to communicate as a sign of insubordinace and decided to be dicks to him.
