[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just came across this posting.  I've been asking questions of MPD for several weeks.  My advice is not to waste your time with the Second District Commander Tatjana Savoy <Tatjana.Savoy@dc.gov>  She will just tell you that all First Amendment issues are handled by the Commander of Special Operations Jason Bagshaw <Jason.Bagshaw@dc.gov>  Write to him.  I'd suggest copying Assistant Chief of Police Darnel Robinson <Darnel.Robinson@dc.gov> as well as Councilmember Matt Frumin <mfrumin@dccouncil.gov>  Maybe ask Frumin to hold a town hall with Commander Bagshaw.[/quote]

Neighbors will need to file a motion via the courts for relief to require the Mayor to enforce the law on the decibel limit and nuisance noise. The MPD is not going to do anything without a court order, imho.

I am sympathetic to the neighbors. But you're going to need to band together and figure out who among you is a lawyer licensed in the District. Then have that person(s) file suit on behalf of all of you as a class of litigants. It's going to take a bit of time, but this will be the only legal means for solving the issue.

MPD and the Mayor won't do anything until forced by the courts because they don't want to court any controversy on this issue or attract the attention of the protestors. [/quote]
