Hannover - A T-shirt with the words "I'm a faredodger" protects a passenger without a ticket is no excuse. The district court sentenced Hannover on Wednesday, 38-year-old Silvio B., who had been caught three times without a valid ticket on the tram.
B. had indicated that he had the shirt worn clearly visible and therefore no benefits fraudulently. The judge emphasized, however, this is irrelevant, since the man had done neither the driver nor the inspectors attention to the imprint before departure. He condemned the Hartz IV recipients to pay a fine of 500 euros. He must also pay the court costs and the increased fare.

He also wanted to show the process of civil disobedience, Silvio B. said
