Speed cameras out of calibration, which ones is secret! Hint: REVENUE
http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/16/1648.asp http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...53.html?sub=AR 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? |
