But I don't believe the current situation is positive at all, having a fare inspection can be done without the problems in the current system, and shouldn't be done until our payment system is reliable.

I don’t understand how you think fare inspection should be done.
Depending on how they handle claims of payment system problems, there may or may not be a problem with their current handling of this situation.
I actually agree about the militarization of police in society in general (although much more so in the US than here, as far as I can tell — how many small-town Canadian police forces have LAVs?). However, I fail to see what this has to do with our unarmed fare inspectors. Perhaps if I understood better how you think fare inspection should be done it would be more clear.
