Help me understand the correlation.

You'd have your car towed before you know it. The selective enforcement baffles me...

Not if you have off street parking.

When my DS was a student at Walls, he often got a ride from a family friend who lives just across the line, and who worked two blocks from the school. It was easy, and we lived in DC, but he would be dropped off from a car with Md plates. The horror!

I'm calling shenanigans on this one. Unless you have off street parking, DC parking enforcement will issue a ticket for having an out of states licensee plate within a month or two of moving. I joke about how DC parking enforcement is the only efficient governmental department.

That's your choice, but then don't complain if you are investigated for residency fraud.

Or for violating DC's ROSA (registration of out of state vehicles law). And when you get in an accident, and your insurer notices that you really live in DC, they'll deny coverage.

Already had my accident, didn't happen. Insurance company handled the claim. Stop making things up. I have GEICO if that makes a differnce.

It won't be tired until DCPS does something about residency fraud. Folks are re-energized to ensure that DCPS acts, as they watch boundaries being re-jiggered while MD kids remain burrowed into in-demand schools. This is called theft of services from the taxpayers and theft of opportunity from kids who actually live in the District.

And, no, an out of state plate is not conclusive evidence of residency fraud, but repeated tranport to/from school in such a vehicle should be a flag for follow up to ensure that the child legitimately lives in DC. I wonder if those who want to let it go are those who have a self-interest in sweeping it under the rug.

Exactly how many FTE do you want to allocate for these investigations. Whose budgets do they come from. Would charter schools be allocated additional funds to hire investigators, or will they be allowed to utilize the FTE's used by DCPS or OSSE?

Your DH is violating the law. People like you who have an attitude of entitlement absolutely suck.

Pp you're a liar and a cheater and you've got a flaky retort for everything. I feel sorry for the children being raised by scofflaws like you--and I wouldn't want to send my child to a school filled with parents that think the laws don't apply to them.

Thank you for your opinion of me. I truly value how you think and feel.

You never know. Is your child in a HRCS often talked about on DCUM. If so, your child is in attendance with mine. Dont get upset with me and call me childish names. I am not a liar simply because my personal experiences do not align with your views.

At Deal the other day, I saw a rather rough looking man complaining loudly to poor Ms. Barry about : why ain't his pay stub enuf, and goddam why aint you tell me all this of I came all the way from my job for this, etc., ad nauseum. Ms. Barry politely informed him of the many required documents that are listed on the form and said she'll be happy to register the child when he has sufficient proof of residency. It was so annoying to witness. In spite of this due diligence, there are still assholes who use co-workers and work addresses and manage to slip through. I agree that Mortgage information should be required.

However you are a liar if and when you renew your out of state registration. You are also a scofflaw.

Look, just give it up, no one in the DCPS front office cares, mainly because doing something about it would require resources they don't want to spend on it; and even if they did, the D.C. government employees responsible for enforcement would suck at it; and even if they managed to finger a few illegal "free riders" at some point, it would inevitably be turned into a race issue and therefore be some rich, privileged person's fault rather than their own damn selves. You gotta get with it, if you're cut out to live in D.C., then overlook this shizz otherwise you're going to live out a stressed existence being annoyed with even worse foolishness every other day.

I sure hope you are not one of the motorists complaining about scofflaw cyclists

Help me understand the correlation.

It is common for motorists to complain about cyclist behavior (OMG! They run stop signs!) It is my belief that most motorists who do so complain routinely violate traffic laws themselves (for example there is no provision in the law that says driving only 3MPH over the speed limit is "okay") but are simply not aware that the distinction they make between their own (perfectly reasonable, everybody does it) violation and the violations by those hipster lycra clad Lance wannabes is purely due to the "windshield perspective"

You sir, are a motorist commiting a violation that outrages even most motorists in DC. I hope you exercise due humility in calling out others as "scofflaws".

Scofflaw is not a childish name. It describes people who violate laws and rules and don't have any respect for the letter and SPIRIT of the law. And a liar is a person like you that just makes up bullshit stories to cover for their scofflaw ways.

Hmm, I remember when this question came up before and this would not solve your issue. There were PPs who owned condos in Wards 3 and 2, but living in MoCo, who asserted that because they owned in the city, they were sending their toddlers to PK in the city. They were renting their condos in the city to tenants.
