Several individuals were standing around outside the stadium, looking casual but actually selling tickets on the sly. Are you going to buy from a scalper? asked Ilene.
Yes. Just like last time. That one looks honest, Ralph replied.
They walked over to a man in a red cap. Ralphs instincts were correct. The man had tickets for good seats at a fair price. Ralph gave the man $45 and thanked him.
Dont thank me, my friend. Thank your local police department. Put your hands behind your back, please. Youre under arrest.
What? Ralph was astonished. Whats going on?
Buying scalped tickets is illegal in Los Angeles, said the undercover police officer. Its been illegal for 25 years. Dont worry. The police station is right outside the park. Well have you back here right after we book you. You can pay the $150 fine with your credit card. The officer handcuffed Ralph.
This has got to be a joke. You people have never enforced this law before, said Ralph.
Well, weve got a new mayor and he wants us to enforce all the laws that bring in money. Come with me, please. Ill have you back here in 20 minutes. Maam, you can wait here for him. You might want to buy some legitimate tickets while youre waiting. Have a nice day. Oh, and enjoy the game!
