Speed cameras out of calibration, which ones is secret! Hint: REVENUE

In addition to lost revenue, the District might be liable for having
issued speeding tickets that could be challenged, according to a March 11
memo that ATS sent to council members. The company said it found that
radar equipment that detects speeding drivers had not been certified at
two undisclosed sites for more than eight months.

The situation exposes "the District to evidentiary liability on tens of
thousands of speeding violation notices for millions of dollars,"
according to the memo.

"It is putting out in public the issue [of] whether a lot of tickets are
legitimate," said council member Phil Mendelson (D-At Large). He said it
was too early to say what would happen with potential challenges to
traffic citations issued.

If it was about safety, then why hide what's broken to collect from
motorists anyway?

Because at best, safety is the *last* thing on their minds.
