Washington, DC Speeding Camera Ticket Attorney

Have you been unfairly ticketed? D.C. issues at least 2 million tickets each year and the vast majority of them are camera tickets. Too many of them are undeserved.

D.C. camera tickets or “automated traffic enforcement” tickets are issued by the D.C. MPD for red light violations, speeding, running stop signs and oversized vehicles. According to the MPD there are 124 enforcement cameras in the City. A recent study found that said cameras are predominately placed in Black neighborhoods.

Contrary to Government misinformation, camera tickets have less to do with our safety and more to do with collecting our money! In fact, a recent study found that red light cameras actually increased accidents and another study found they have no impact on safety whatsoever. Despite D.C.’s record setting camera ticket operation, traffic deaths have risen.

Although camera tickets do not involve any points on your license they can be costly. Bear in mind that under DC law the owner of the vehicle is vicariously liable for all camera tickets issued to his/her vehicle. In general, this means it is no defense that someone else was driving your car at the time of the alleged violation, unless your car was stolen. Camera tickets will not appear on your driving record and should not have any effect on your insurance but if you have incurred 2 or more camera, parking or moving violation tickets and the tickets are overdue and the time to challenge them has expired then the City may boot or impound your car if it is parked on the street.

The citation you received in the mail is really just a photograph of a car . . . so where is the actual proof that you were driving too fast? Paying camera tickets without contesting them is highway robbery. Yes, the system is rigged - but speed and red light camera tickets contain errors and can be beaten when properly challenged by an experienced attorney. Why pay a ticket that could be dismissed?
