DART & Panhandlers

DART seems to be either unwilling or unable to stop panhandlers. Many of these operate within plain sight of DART officers and are not harassed at all. The woman in the photo below is someone I've encountered several times. Each time she asks for $2.50 which she claims she needs to purchase a day pass, yet I've seen her get on the train and show a monthly pass. When she's refused, she can become quite threatening and has told me that she plans to steal my backpack. When I informed her that were she to attempt such a thing, she should be prepared for my response, she huffed off and hasn't spoken to me again since then.
