[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14% of the tickets issued that were contested were overturned. That is a very high error rate by any standard. [/quote]

86% of $1.3 million is still not too bad. However, that camera is almost certainly contracted. How much does the contracting company get per ticket? [/quote]

Actually DC does not contract with a 3rd party vendor that takes a share of the revenue - not sure why this is repeated so often.

Montgomery County does this with its school bus camera program but DC does not.[/quote]
When DC first started wide rollout of cameras in the early 00s they did contract with a vendor. I think it might of been Lockheed Martin.

It would be news to a lot of people if the city moved the camera ticketing in-house because the vendor participation and profit sharing was well publicized.

So to say that you are not sure why people believe this is a strong indicator that you’ve not lived here for any appreciable period of time. [/quote]
