One more reason to avoid D.C.

Warning: D.C. cops under orders to arrest tourists with empty bullet casings

In short: if you have a harmless bit of brass in your cup holder – such as the .22 casings I recall that I have in mine – the D.C. police are *supposed* to arrest you. The result can be a $1,000 fine and/or a year in jail.

If you can come up with a reason why having empty bits of brass in your car should be illegal… I mean, a reason beyond “D.C. is a fascist police state”… I’d love to hear it.
