Talk:Metro Transit Police Department

message: There are several different law enforcement agencies/units that are known by the name "Metro Transit Police," for example, an agency in Houston, Texas, and a unit of the King County Sheriff's Department in Washington State. Therefore, I think this page should be moved to Metro Transit Police (WMATA), and then Metro Transit Police itself should be changed to a disambiguation page.

message: Also, I think that some of the wording of this article may be copied from the WMATA official website, and I am not sure whether WMATA has granted permission or not.

thread_title: WikiProject class rating

message: The eating/drinking/smoking/etc. rules in Metro are considered class 4 misdemeanors(Max $250 fine/ No Jail) in the local ordinaces of Fairfax, Arlington and Alexandria, and fall into the same catogory of local ordinaces that virtually all Virginia Counties have that enforce a wide variety of minor violations like dog leash laws and parking violations. These ordinaces are very common, so I really doubt that nobody ever thought to challange them as Dillion Rule issues. I did not have a moment to research that assertion, but since it is so common in Virginia to have local ordinaces and that they are so widely enforced, it has to be settled law to allow them.--Brian H (talk) 20:39, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
