Regulations & Prohibitions

 Since the September 11 attacks, the roads and grounds around the Capitol have undergone dramatic changes. The United States Capitol Police have also installed checkpoints to inspect vehicles at specific locations around Capitol Hill, and have closed a section of one street indefinitely. 

If this is a Federal Law and it is,

why are the thousands of uninvited mob on January 6th 2021

not already in prison

waiting for a federal trial?

The level of screening employed varies.


On the main east–west thoroughfares of Constitution and Independence Avenuesbarricades are implanted in the roads that can be raised in the event of an emergency.

Trucks larger than pickups are interdicted by the Capitol Police and are instructed to use other routes.

On the checkpoints at the shorter cross streets, the barriers are typically kept in a permanent "emergency" position, and only vehicles with special permits are allowed to pass.


All Capitol visitors are screened by a magnetometer, and all items that visitors may bring inside the building are screened by an x-ray device.


In both chambers, gas masks are located underneath the chairs in each chamber for members to use in case of emergency. Structures ranging from scores of Jersey barriers to hundreds of ornamental bollards have been erected to obstruct the path of any vehicles that might stray from the designated roadways.


After the 2021 storming of the US Capitol, security increased again.

Additional security fences were installed around the perimeter, and US National Guard troops were deployed to bolster security.

If this is a Federal Law and it is, why are the thousands of uninvited mob on January 6th 2021 not already in prison waiting for a federal trial?

 

What would happen to you or me if we/I walked into the Capital grounds and/or the building carrying a weapon?

The U.S. Capitol is not only the seat of our government; it is a working office building and popular tourist destination. Therefore, there are a number of regulations and prohibitions that govern the conduct of those who work and visit here.  

 

The following links provide details on what activities are allowed within the Capitol Complex, what items are prohibited within Congressional facilities, and any penalties associated with the violation of any of the rules and regulations.
