I'm sorry Pheonix but your posts just show you just don't know.
First of all, let's dispell the myth about LE. LE presence in DC is LIGHTER than New York, Atlanta, and Florida. I don't know where the hell this myth about LE in DC being strict came from, but it's FALSE. Black Wednesday didn't just happen in DC, by the way, if that happens to be the source of this stupid myth.

If you look at wikipedia, you will see that the Washington, D.C. police department numbers approximately 3,800 sworn officers and hundreds of civilian personnel. This department is therefore one of the 10 largest in the country. Further, according to wikipedia, the Atlanta, GA police department numbers less than 2,000. The NYPD currently numbers in excess of 38,000 sworn officers and is the largest in North America.
I'm not sure if the figures for D.C. include the forces of other police-like agencies such as the U.S. Park Police, but I'm fairly certain they don't include agencies such as the FBI, DEA, or other federal agencies. Some of these federal agencies do interest themselves in eliminating AMPs. The D.C. police department undoubtedly receives some help and assistance from the federal government that the police forces of another city (like Atlanta) don't receive.
But I don't think it makes any sense to claim that D.C. is lightly policed. It is the capital of the nation.
