[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the most interesting part of this is the implicit acknowledgment that traffic tickets are a form of taxation. I say this because our income tax system is progressive (I.e. rates based on ability to pay.) People have long said traffic cameras aren’t really about safety, rather revenue. This just rips the veneer off any claim to the contrary. It’s a commuter tax.[/quote] It's not a commuter tax. Maryland and Virginia does not recognize or enforce those non-contact tickets from DC, so Marylanders and Virginians don't pay. [/quote]
