Besides the whole “not street legal” thing? The cops don’t let the asshole ATV riders (AATVR’s) go because they’re not breaking the law, they let them go because it’s far more dangerous to other drivers and pedestrians to chase them than to let them be assholes.

Where would you park it? It would get picked up by MPD or stolen in a heartbeat.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Once a year the embassies have an open house-I think in May- and it’s pretty fun.

I can totally see that. My first ever trip to DC in 2011 I was lucky enough to come when they were blooming and they were so pretty.

They are amazing. They were planted because of our federal government but I feel like the city has adopted them as our own. It’s so nice to have something widely celebrated here that isn’t coated in the red white and blue. We used to have four set seasons every year, but it’s been changing over the years. Yet every spring these little delicate blossoms bloom. I can’t speak for every DC citizen but these trees mean a lot to me personally.

Yep. You'll be the case the police cite when they talk about how they've pulled over the riders

OK, I'll bite since no one has given you that much of an answer. I mean, I took the MSF class. Street-legal motorcycles have got headlights and taillights, brake lights, turn indicators, speedometers, license plates.
Dirt bikes and ATVs lack all those features that make them street-legal while traveling faster than all of the slower vehicle classes, like me pedaling my bicycle, that don't require turn signals etc.
If you don't like 2 wheels you can get a street-legal 3-wheeler like a can-am. That's what one of the guys in my MSF class had.
But if you want to ride an ATV, lawn mower or golf cart on the street, yeah no it's a city not a farm, you will get blipped over pretty much right away.

Shrooms are decriminalized. Nothing to crack down on there.

The parking side of the equation is where you’ve miscalculated. They 100% will care and will bar your entry, report you to the police to have your ATV towed and crushed, and/or report you to your company who will discipline you in some way that will become career limiting.

How far out of state?
TBH unless you're really into politics and want to attend a specific rally, inauguration, announcement, etc, we don't have a lot of unique events worth travelling for. The cherry blossoms are nice, of course, and there are some events (Art All Night, the Christmas markets, assorted Halloween stuff) that are really fun, but most cities have their own equivalents of those.

Since it's illegal you will be shit out of luck if you're in an accident & need repairs or replacement and/or need medical care. No insurance will cover your bills & you open yourself up to a lawsuit from the other driver.

It’ll be enforced against you as a long ATV rider who looks like you’ll pull over if a cop flashes their lights

Nope on the ATVs. There are options, though... Here's some stuff:
