[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

According to the third party, DC recently renewed the contract.

According to this article, it was fixed price in 2017, at $3,000,000.

I can find details on the new renewal.

Good catch.

Lockheed did originally have the contract back in 2000, as this NYT article says.

I am not sure why people are motivated to lie or just make things up so much about these things. It’s bizarre. [/quote]

It's really quite odd.  Why would someone so insistently do that about an easily provable fact?[/quote]
Anything goes in the war on cars, I guess. Facts be damned. [/quote]
