This afternoon at 4:42 PM a DC police officer prevented me from picking up a slug. He said that I faced a $100 fine for illegal parking if I didn't move on. When I asked him what he was going to do about the line of cars behind him waiting for slugs, he said "I'm the only one here". Are the DC police cracking down on slugging? It appears that way.

P.S. This was the "Bob's" slug line on 14th street near the Washington monument.

This occurs every once in a while. It's usually new PD officers who aren't familiar with slugging. A call to your local Congressman usually takes care of this.

That said, were you waiting for slugs to show up or where there slugs already there? If the former, it could be perceived that you were blocking traffic by just sitting there (as were the cars behind you). If that's the case, you might consider either going around the block or going to another slug line.

Several years ago, a police officer was doing the same at the 14th & Independence Avenue Commuteride Bus stop. I was one of the lucky individuals to receive a ticket. I fought it and initially lost, but when I filed an appeal, I won and got all my money back including the cost of the appeal. The whole process took about 9 months and even though I had very valid arguments on my side (was accused of illegal parking) to include a copy of the DC driver's manual, my appeal was won on an entirely different argument.
