[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are the cars going?

Mostly they use it to drive around for a few hours and commit more robberies. They dump it before the plate into gets updated in the WALES network. [/quote]

I am not sure what the WALES network is but the city does not use it's cameras to find stolen cars. At all. Just to ticket. And the only people who pay tickets are from DC since they have no binding agreements with MD and VA to collect. What a mess.[/quote]
I think you are misinformed. If a MD or VA driver gets ticketed by camera and does not pay, the bill will be sent to collections which penalizes that persons credit. The only thing the reciprocity agreement would do is also prevent those people from registering their vehicles in those jurisdictions until their DC camera tickets were paid. [/quote]

Current measures are clearly not enough to deter MD and VA traffic scofflaws.  And it's stupid that they only use cameras for parking.  They should also be using them for stolen cars, amber alerts, BOLOs, etc.  But I guess that would freak Republicans out because of "big brother surveillance state" yadda yadda.  I think they should do it.  At least maybe it would keep the paranoid militia nutjobs and QAnons out and prevent another 1/6.[/quote]
