[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's already points for speeding and everything else.  [/quote]

In DC?  No not really - MPD has averaged a few thousand traffic citations a year over the last 10 years and a lot of those are actually attached to accidents where MPD is supposed to investigate and issue a citation.

There are no points attached to camera citations which are about 99% of the citations now issued in DC.[/quote]

And everyone knew from the very beginning that camera citations cannot be attached to points because cameras can only cite vehicles not people.  Adding points to camera citations would be blatantly unconstitutional.[/quote]

"it's a car, not a driver" sounds like bullshit to me.

The vehicle has an owner, and the owner has responsibility for whoever is behind the wheel.  So unless the owner can provide some documentation of circumstance (for example the car was leased out to someone else or the car was reported as stolen) or who it was behind the wheel at the time of the citation (such as a commercial vehicle with assigned drivers), the owner should be the one taking the citation and any penalties associated with it.[/quote]

Neither the constitution nor the concept of innocent until proven guilty is bullshit.  Citations can attach to a vehicle but points can only attach to individuals.  This was known by everyone before the very first traffic camera went up.[/quote]
