Because that's how the City is! Or at least how it's been for a while now.
*he makes a turn into a tunnel, passing by trucks*
For a long time... there was a huge divide between people. The 1% who owned much of the wealth, and the 99% who lived in the slums, who handled all of the factory work. Those are the "Tops" and the "Commons".
In the past some years, things were actually getting better... but when that new head of security came in and introduced that new dueling system, suddenly there were reports of how Commons were instigating riots and doing crimes, and they cracked down! Soon, even regular Security was replaced by those robots! *his grip tightens on the controls of the D-Wheel*
Now, even getting near someone from Tops, when you're a Common, is the same as committing assault!
