Maryland license plate vigilantes

[Anonymous]

It not illegal to take pictures of people who are in public spaces. Odd and a poor use of time - yes. But not illegal.

That was super creepy and a messed up way of showing your displeasure with not getting a slot. While you are talking about your rights, what about the rights of the families who are simply trying to take their kids to school in peace?

Yeah yeah, name the school or it didn't happen.

You think taking a picture is "violating" a child? You need to grow up.

Where does your child attend school. Maybe someone or two would like to begin taking your children's picture. Just for shits and giggles, or to put them on social media beside a picture of you with a nice so flattering allegation, or for some other nefarious reason(s). After all, you don't have a problem with some stranger photographing your minions, right?

These are the same women that would be up in arms if someone took a photo of their child.

Why don't you idiot WoTPers come over here EoTP to a Title 1 school and see the free for all with free extended day and free food all day. It's a hell of deal, especially for a Md. resident working in the city who doesn't give a hoot about quality education but just wants a free place to park their kid all day. You dumb WoTPers are paying for it in tax dollars; keep denying, whatever, it's your money up in smoke.

I guess we shouldn't mention the Maryland tags seen at drop off to JKLM schools. That should really chafe your a** that Maryland residents are getting into some of the best performing schools in DC that DC residents are shut out off via lottery.

The families have no rights. A person has no expectation of privacy in public. Obey the law regarding residency and you won't have a guilty conscience.

Go stand at the metro stop in Landover tomorrow morning. See how many kids are taking metro into DC for school.

DC schools aren' that good. Little too mo difference between PG and DC. Don't over shoot the academics of DC. I guess MoCo and Fairfax residents come to DC too?

HAHAHA Do a search for Bradbury Heights Elementary. Yes some PG schools are horrible and make the DC schools shine in comparison.

There are exceptions but not the rule. No parent is driving from Capitol Heights, Md all the way over to Chevy Chase. Now what you should be talking about is the amount of DC students using addresses to attend a MoCo school. silence, right.

Families definitely do this commute.

I have taken photos of one family's MD license plates at a Deal feeder and at Deal.
I have given the names of the students and the address used in the school's directory.
It is well known to kids' friends that they live in MD but grandparents live in DC. Classic.
This has gone on for 5 years. Yes, Deal Middle School and one of the feeder schools.

DCPS has not done anything.

And it's a really fancy/expensive car. I know it shouldn't but that annoys me.

And then DCPS says that because Deal is crowded they have to kick long-feeding elementary schools like John Eaton out of Deal. Seems that MD kids are Deal-worthy but not DC kids.

At least MoCo puts resources behind ferreting out residency fraud, as they should. And no one is talking about "rights" or "special relationships" or "traditional ties" for kids from a "Ward 9."

It's mostly caused by wanting free stuff in DC, like free DCPS aftercare.
