Reply to BWI long term parking by Isthispoisonsumac

One tip I have is try to park near the last bus stop, that way when the bus comes you are straight to the terminal, make note it should be close to the first bus stop at least in long term b. I’ll often get off at the first stop on my way home and take a short walk to my car so I don’t have to wait on the bus for the full loop

No, there are no reservations for any of the airport-run parking lots. However, they are first-come-first-serve, so if all of the lots happen to be full, then you're out of luck, but that isn't likely to happen. The BWI Website has indicators that show how full each lot is, in addition to road signs near the lots.

Offsite 3rd party lots, like The Parking Spot and FastPark, often require a reservation. Shouldn't be a problem to get one, even last minute. I had used The Parking Spot at my last flight, and it was great.

No reservation is needed. There is Long Term A and Long Term B. Only one will be open, so remember which lot you're in and what stop # ( there is usually a big pole with a number for reference),you'll need that when you get home

Police officers can carry without a Maryland Wear and Carry Permit per the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act. Most officers don’t bother with a WCP since they can carry anywhere through LEOSA. However, if their LE powers are suspended or revoked for any reason, they may no longer carry under LEOSA.

If the officer is found guilty of a wear/carry handgun violation, then that would be a disqualifying crime for possession of a firearm in Maryland. If the officer is found guilty of possession of a sufficient quantity of cannabis to show intent to distribute and/or proven to be a habitual user, then that would also be a disqualifying crime. Either conviction would make them ineligible to be a police officer in the state of Maryland.

This was a series of extremely poor decisions that will not only ruin their career, but will also ruin trust.

My understanding is that the charges won’t prevent her from being a police officer again, only if she is convicted. The city hasn’t convicted a police officer in a long time. Ms. Mosby charged several officers, including one sergeant from my area in Southwest Baltimore but then she dismissed all the charges after the publicity died down. Another officer from this area was charged with causing an accident, the news reports said he was drinking, his charges were dismissed by Baltimore County. I would see him in his car in the 7-11 parking lot looking high and drunk.

Years ago my daughter was sexually harassed by a group of police officers, we learned in mediation two of the officers were charged with sexual harassment at their previous jobs, one was let go because of his behavior toward young girls. The Baltimore police still hired them both because they weren’t convicted of the crimes. It’s a shame so many people with ill intentions come to Baltimore to be police. I believe the lack of discipline over the years encouraged bad people to join the police department.

And then people will challenge the tickets saying it was photoshopped, so you'll have to show up in court and testify, but you will be like "eh, do I really want to go down to court and go through all that just to get paid $25? Nahhh."

And then every asshole in town will realize they can just challenge the tickets in court and the witness is unlikely to show up and deal with the hassle, resulting in the fines being dismissed, which will defeat the whole purpose.

The idea of paying bounties for photo evidence is an idea that sounds really great in theory, but will likely not produce meaningful results.

At worst, it'll be just another means for blaming victims and dismissing complaints - "Stop complaining that there's cars parked in the bike lanes! Be part of the solution! Take pictures and we'll pay you!"*

*After you waste a day of your life in court that will probably cost you more money in lost wages than the bounty pays.
