Hmmmm...
As a father and business owner, I usually try and stay out of potential conflict. But I may have to participate in a spent brass sit-in.
Spent Brass is Illegal in D.C.? Cops ordered to arrest. WTF?

Blah, blah, blah
Well, I did have a 9mm brass "cookie cutter" the bottom of some shoes at the range once.
It was uncomfortable on my poor little foot.
If this saves one sole....it's worth it.

Best way to find out... 1. find your least favorite politicians' car parked in DC somewhere with windows or sunroof cracked; 2. dump in mass quantity of used brass from the range; 3. call it in; 4. youtube the results.

Ok ill just say this......we have NEVER been instructed to arrests tourist for this or citizens alike. In fact its the opposite we have been told to not arrest people for unregistered ammo ESPECIALLY non residents that have ammo but no gun.
As a reference point I am in a unit that comes across a lot of guns and tons of sources who give us info on illegal guns all the time.
The article is just trying to stir up emotions about the city's terrible gun laws. As a member of that department I can say I've only been told the opposite by my superiors and that's 5 years worth of dept knowledge.

Ill agree to that but we both know my post will be dead in about 6 more responses and people will continue to bitch over information that this officer has a great knowledge of.
Again, we've never been told that, actually the opposite.

I believe what you're saying is true, and it's good to know, but that they would even have laws like this on the books is still ridiculous even if they're not being enforced.
Is it possible not all your brethren are told the same thing?

No, the "Don't arrest non residents for unregistered ammo especially hunting rounds was an in house teletype sent to EVERY member of MPD in an email and signed by the chief.
Teletypes are not public info though so she would never see it. I'm comfortable mentioning it currently because in this thread I feel that you all should know although the city does have some rough laws we are told to use "discretion" on specific petty things so that we can focus on robberies and domestic violence, which combined take up 75% of a patrol officers time and are more pressing.
Hopefully those who have common sense can understand why discretion is in quotes.

For the same reason its illegal to tie a rhino to a telephone pole in Tn.
Same reason oral sex is illegal in some states.
Same reason its illegal to whistle in some counties
Same reason keeping a bawdy house in DC is a criminal offense (dirty house)
And the same reason expertiating in public (spitting) is actually still a on the book charge in dc.
Cuz someone did something stupid, then some more stupid people got together and made a stupid law after using 10k of stupid tax payers money, and now we follow it because we were stupid and elected stupid people to enact stupid laws

Well dammit... I want to be able to whistle when I drive by the bawdy house and I see someone giving oral sex to the tied-up rhino while I'm spitting and tossing spent casings out the window onto the sidewalk.

I was born and raised in DC. It's pretty pathetic to read this. If this law had been in effect or in force back in the 80's, I would have been busted over and over because I was in the rifle club at my HS. It was and is located in DC and back then, it had an indoor range under the gym. Not sure if its there any longer as they did a ton of work to the place. But I used to have .22 shell casings falling out of my jackets and book bags all the time.

For those that have any doubt...here is the actual law enacted that covers ammo "cases". DC defines ammunition as follows:
(2) “Ammunition”
means cartridge cases, shells, projectiles (including shot),
primers, bullets (including restricted pistol bullets), propellant powder, or
other devices or materials designed, redesigned, or intended for use in a
firearm or destructive device
Straight from -> DC Law: Title 6, Chapter 23: Firearms Control
Subchapter I. General Provisions
