[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Issuing traffic camera tickets to people for penny ante violations is a good way to turn the public against traffic cameras.

I can’t be the only one that’s been getting tickets because of all of the new traffic cameras.

I consider myself a generally good driver, and hadn’t gotten a single traffic ticket in 20+ years of driving..until DC installed traffic cameras at intersections. My wife and I have gotten like 8-10 tickets over the last year for like stopping partially on the crosswalk. Or for not making a complete stop for *long enough*. Recently we got one for dropping someone off at a bus stop where you can’t stop. I get these are infractions that technically should get cited; but they’re $100 a pop, and some we thought were at the very least questionable. (No luck so far contesting them…) Plus, there aren’t signs posted like they have when speeding cameras are present.[/quote]

You can avoid these tickets by:

-not speeding
-coming to a complete stop in the correct location
-not stopping in a bus lane

Don't want the fine? Don't do the crime.[/quote]

Can we have the same standard for everyone?

We have mopeds going through stop signs at full speed.

We have cyclists plowing through red lights with children on back who aren't wearing helmets.

We have 13 year olds on ATVs doing wheelies down the middle of major thoroughfares. [/quote]

stfu and stop blocking the crosswalk[/quote]
