Person with no ticket gets off Luas. Luas inspector waiting on platform.

Luas inspector " Can I see your ticket"

Person walks away.

That's basically it, they can't physically stop you so what's going to happen?

The usual beauties will just tell the inspector to F off.

I highly doubt luas inspectors have any right to lay hands on anybody when it comes to detaining people, even security guards can't touch theives so i'd say its in the realm of possibilty that you could just walk off and not say a word to them.

I think it's interesting that according to the byelaws stated above, the authorised person can ask to check your ticket if he/she "OBSERVES" you alighting from the tram/light rail. Kind of difficult to prove when there's a crowd alighting.
