Crime is down in New York City.
Crime in the subway system plunge 24 percent in March compared to March of last year. However, Chief of Transit Michael Kemper says the number of arrests are way up because transit cops are cuffing people over and over again for fare evasion and other subway crimes.
"Where are the consequences? We could have so many less arrests and so much less effort and such a safer subway system if there were consequences."
Meanwhile, overall crime in the city dropped five percent for March. Most Major crime categories were down accept for felony assaults and rapes. Car thefts have been a huge problem over the last year or so but the numbers have now declined four months in a row.
