Congress would never approve the plan you suggest, anyway.

What is there for Congress to approve? Pretty sure this can be done through administrative powers of the Mayor.

Congress can strike down any DC law it wants. Read the constitution.

Congress has 60 days to disapprove, if it's a crime-related bill.

No, not just a crime-related bill. Congress can disapprove any D.C. legislation.

Congress has 60 days to disapprove crime related bills, but only 30 for non crime bills.

They're talking about SPEEDING tickets and Red light tickets. You sound ignorant to the issue where cars rack up thousands through blatantly illegal driving that endangers DC residents.

Both are important. Also, some of the folks racking up thousands in tickets are criminals in VA/MD who commit crimes in DC, so it's really just another angle to addressing problems in our city.

There should be ticket reciprocity.

They have ticket reciprocity with DC, just not for traffic/speed cameras. They know that those cameras in DC are not for safety but highway robberies. (see the stories of the speed cameras on the DC 295 in 2019-2020)

No, they're for safety. There's an easy way to avoid getting tickets: don't speed.

Yes, that is the problem that we should solve, with ticket reciprocity.

There is already ticket reciprocity if an actual DC officer writes you a ticket. Hire more officers and empower them to actually enforce traffic violations.

"Traffic enforcement creates thousands of unnecessary and potentially dangerous interactions between police and residents each year, yet is inconsistent enough that MPD isn't reducing speeding or dangerous driving. Traffic enforcement takes officers' time and energy away from higher priority public safety concerns."

Allen is now in charge of the relevant committee.

SO MUCH $ is being left on the table.

By encouraging people to immediately slam on their breaks whenever they see one

Pffffffft. I guarantee you there is no way Maryland and Virginia trust DC bureaucracy to uphold their end of any reciprocity. MD and VA know full well what a dumpster fire DC administration is.
