Baltimore Police’s new traffic unit sets sights on Virginia plates, dangerous driving; comes after increase last year in traffic enforcement by 75%, including issuing nearly 11,000 citations to Maryland drivers with Virginia plates, @conarck reports https://t.co/6rf4Ril6xc

The @VirginiaDMV license plate scam is so prevalent that the influencers are making promo videos about it. The reality is the people attached to these have terrible driving history and most likely don't have insurance, and it impacts everyone. @DCAttorneyGen @charlesallen

What if I told you all that the car registered to the driver that struck and killed @DCPoliceDept officer Terry Bennett had $12,184 in tickets on it. I can assure you that this DC resident with a car registered in VA had many more before he made that switch.
