Washington DC Legalizes Ticket Scalping By Accident

Writer: OurStudioOurStudio

The regulations banning scalping were inadvertently left off of recently approved legislation earlier this year, according to a city official. As a result, the D.C. police "cannot make arrests for scalping" right now, said Gwendolyn Crump, a spokeswoman for the department.
