[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But let me guess, suspending licenses and impounding cars of reckless drivers who have insane numbers of violations will violate rights and is oppression.  Tell that to the families of the dead.
They were speed camera tickets. The driver is not identified in speed camera tickets. No way to know who racked up those tickets. [/quote]

The car racked up the tickets. Impound the car.[/quote]

This is a good opportunity for Congress to drag some officials into a hearing with the cameras rolling:

-- How was this allowed to happen?

-- Does DC have a system to identify and investigate cases where a single vehicle or vehicles registered to a single address/entity rack up a large number of fines (whether paid or unpaid)? What is the number? 10 per year, 20 per year? What is the procedure for these cases?

-- How many other vehicles/owners have more than 10 or 20 fines and what is the District doing about them? [/quote]

DC made it easier for stuff like this to happen by changing the law that required tickets to be paid off to register the car. DC simply does not care that things like this happen. [/quote]

It's an equity issue. The statistics showed that people of certain groups were most often in this situation, so coming down hard on scofflaws would disproportionately affect that group.[/quote]
