[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you read the full Reddit thread, you'll find that others who had their cars stolen had no issue getting the camera tickets canceled.

This particular poster received a horrible and incompetent administrative judge. In fact, the judge violated DC's own laws which explicitly states that owners of stolen vehicles will not be liable for the tickets so long as the vehicle is reported stolen. So yeah, this was a case of a horrible administrative judge who should be removed from practice and retrained.

This is really why I dislike social media: it elevates edge cases to the public discourse and makes it seem as if that's actually the norm. It's not, and it's a terrible idea to let edge cases direct policy or public views. Vast majority of people with a stolen car get their tickets canceled, but no one wants to talk about that. [/quote]
Sorry but this is not an isolated incident.

There is no end of these stories.
