D.C. Writing Tickets To The Wrong People

In the last year and a half, District of Columbia authorities have handed out tens of thousands of tickets to out-of-state vehicles parked in the city overnight.
However, these drivers are not getting ticketed because the cars are parked illegally. Instead, ticket writers have spotted them parked overnight in the city more than twice in 30 days and are assuming the owners have moved to the District without registering and getting D.C. tags.

Dean Lane, who anchors the overnight news at ABC7’s news partner WTOP in Northwest, is one of them. He lives in Virginia and has racked up at least five $100 tickets for not having D.C. tags.

Thats where we are now. The police "assume" your guilt. YOU have to prove your innocence. But consider this --- I can leave now for DC, be there in 2 1/2 hours and be back in Salisbury TONIGHT with a AK-47, a pound of pot and pound of cocaine. And not worry at all - at all -- about any police interference. They are too busy writing TICKETS, because THAT'S where the MONEY is. And it is ALL about the money.....
