[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, OP.  I'm calling BS.  Unless the officer literally walked over to you as you pulled up, there's no way you were there for three minutes - that's not even enough time for her to notice you and walk over, let alone have a conversation long enough for you to refuse to move.

You pulled up and sent your kids inside to find their grandmother, which probably took a fair amount of time.  And then grandmom, understandably, took a whole to walk out.

The curbside pickup is intended for people who are already there waiting.  Not for those that have to be found inside first.  You could have dropped off your kids and had them walk grandma out while you did another look of the airport.  They could have found a bench to wait on if it took you longer than it took them.

In addition to being a security hazard, cars just sitting there and waiting around for passengers who are still inside the terminal really screw up the flow of traffic for the rest of us.[/quote]

3 min is BS [/quote]

Maybe at Reagan, but I’ve had officers ask me to move when I’ve been there less than a minute at smaller airports. One time I was  picking up DH and literally had just put the car in park and was calling him to make sure he was coming out, and they were knocking on my window asking me to move.    [/quote]

You aren't not supposed to call your pickup from the curb lane.  You are only supposed to be there for actual drop off or pick up.  You need to find somewhere other than the arrivals curb to call your pickup.  Almost all airports now have a cell phone lot that is only 1-3 min drive from the arrivals area for exactly this purpose.

So, I usually tell my pickup to call me when they are outside.  If I don't get a call before I get to the airport, I find one of the several places to stop and park to do what you did.  None of these are actually in the arrivals area where the passengers are waiting.

So, you were wrong and the officers were telling you that you were wrong, but you still don't seem to understand what you did wrong.[/quote]
