Because, if they weren’t, shouldn’t THEY have had to pay their tickets too? Did you miss the part where she said that she paid hers?
You are just as embarrassing as OP. Or are you OP?
Hmm hmm., right. OP, you were not mistreated. You simply weren't given preferential treatment you may be used to. You were speeding, got a ticket, had to pay. That is not mistreatment. Do you really need examples of true racism? Are you that removed from reality?
Nope, not the OP. Did you answer my question?
If this was an attempt to answer my question, you failed miserably. And, I am not the OP.
You are seriously embarrassing if you think you have the slightest idea of what true racism is. Entitled white person. (and I am white)

So, she was white. Everyone else was not white, including the arbitrator. Everyone else had their tickets dismissed. Except for the one white person.
Could it possibly be, maybe just a slight possibility, perhaps that she was MISTREATED due to the color of her skin?
Having to pay your ticket for something you did is not being mistreated. Being accused of something you did not do....that's mistreatment. Sounds like OP is used to preferential treatment and she simply did not get it this time. (9 years ago).

So your defense before this arbitrator was the fact that she dismissed other peoples' tickets? That's it?

Uhhhhh...... Because more black people violated traffic laws and hAd to go to court that day! Most were speed camera tickets so no racial profiling there. Unless of course the cameras are able to se driver race.
Very good OP! You're so close to getting it, we're almost there. Now tell me: in which neighborhoods are the cameras? And who decides where cameras are located?
if you need help, here is a map.

I am not the OP, but if you are implying that speed cameras/red light cameras/right turn cameras are put only in poor, predominantly minority neighborhoods, that doesn’t appear to be the case. They seem to be scattered all over the district.
And, why don’t you enlighten us and tell us who decides where the cameras are located.
That map looked a lot different nine years ago. I couldn't believe that when DC came out with this program, they didn't put cameras on Wisconsin Avenue and Connecticut Avenue, but they did on New York Ave.
Who is “they?” Who decides where to put the cameras?

Yes, racism goes both ways. The only difference is one accepts it, the other doesn't. There, I said it.
