got in a dispute with a revenue officer. I was split faring. He said I didn’t have a valid ticket as I had bought the second part of the journey on my phone as my final destination had changed.
He asked for my ID numerous times, but I honestly didn’t have it. He then said he wanted to go through my phone to prove who I was, which is obviously illegal without a warrant. He then said give me your details (still hasn’t told me what I’ve done wrong) and i refused as it had got heated at this point.
He told me he had my details anyway via scanning the barcode, so I said “there you go then” and went on my way. He then said “see you in court”.
How much trouble am I in? Will he find my address via the barcode?
