It gets better.. the govenor's new budget doubles emissiosn testing fees to $30 as a way to raise more $$ for the general fund.

The police should not have started pursuit in the first place. The driver was obeying traffic laws until the police started to harass him.


the criminals have entered the group chat. No plates is likely against the law in any state.



That's not a traffic law, that's a money grab by local governments. If government really wanted your vehicle to be tracked, government should pay for it, not orivate citizens.

MCP 2D/Bethesda officers spotted the car (no tags) parked at a gas station, at which point the car drove recklessly into oncoming traffic on Wisconsin Ave without headlights on.

Due to Montgomery County’s limited pursuit policy, officers were told to disengage & the car was last seen driving on the wrong side of Wisconsin Ave into Washington DC. h/t

The policy that you are criticizing clearly worked to keep our residents safe since nobody was harmed in this instance. How can you deny the truth of that? How can you say that a high speed pursuit would not have resulted in the death of teens or young adults?


Get lost. It does not keep anyone safe to have criminals roaming throughout the DMV without repercussions. IF you or your loved one was driving the correct way along Wisconsin Ave, and hit head on and killed by this person, you might feel differently.
