Google says that you're referring to a camera at 4600 Mass Ave NW? That's not really very close to Sibley, and I doubt many people are going to the hospital for an emergency. There is a camera that's on Dalecarlia which they'd subsequently have to pass and I don't see that on any list of highest grossing cameras, which shows that the speeders on Mass Ave are predominantly going elsewhere.

I speed everywhere and have never gotten a ticket. It's not difficult: learn where the cameras are and slow down to 8 mph over as you're passing them (you get 10 mph cushion but I like to give myself a little below that). I hope we never go back to police enforcing speeding laws because it's so much easier to avoid tickets with these cameras.

Most likely a Ward 9 driver.

Camera tickets are issued to cars, not drivers.

Do the cars pay the tickets?

"Scofflaw vehicles". What a joke of a city government we have.
