Hey I got one from the photo cop. They mailed me a ticket for 93 in a 50 on 295 South. I'm not a fast or agessive driver, but heck, it was after rush hour but not dark yet. I was on my way home and all alone on the road. I passed a car pulled way over on the shoulder and, bang, the brightest strobe light I've ever seen. The $300 ticket came in the mail two days later. I fully admit I was wrong and deserve the fine. The best part is no points and no hassle from the officer pulling me over. I've gone fifteen years (18 to 33) without any points on my license and hope to keep it that way. Long live the photo cop. BTW, I drive that section of raod every day. Straigt up, it's DANGEROUS. Some folks poking along and other doing 70 plus. The photo cop stationed there seems to have "calmed" things a bit.

P.S. I'd rather give my money to the District than to Geico.

Oh, btw, that clerck got busted, lost her job and pension, and has criminal charges pending in U.S. District Court. She will be serving time. ALL the folks she let off now have to pay their fine and will be charged the "points" associated with their offense.

DC's a world-class city AND a "sleepy Southern town" with all the corruption that goes with that. We're run by systems and folks put in place by the U.S. Congress (so if you don't like it do something). That whole Marion Barry substance abuse thing is low (and OLD news). Sure, we have problems, but until you've visited or lived in our nation's capitol, I'd urge you to hold off judgement.
