@charlesallen Removing them all would have a damaging effect on safety. They’re a great tool but it’s out of control and obvious revenue is the priority. The proliferation of cameras on non residential roads with absurdly low limits makes a mockery of the “safety” justification. So here we are
@maustermuhle In many parts of the city there is almost no traffic enforcement. The fact is drivers know they have an almost zero percent chance of being pulled over, for anything.
@FievreduPotomac@theHillisHome@BrianneKNadeau@councilofdc Among other shortfalls in the current legislation, how does MPD, or more importantly DPW know the tags are fraudulent? They also do not have the authority to tow or boot without 2 preexisting tickets of 60 days or more. B25-0435 has provisions to address these.
Join us today at Rosedale Volunteer Fest, 1-3pm! We’ll be here talking about our wonderful local library and all the great ways you can volunteer to help out 📚
@maustermuhle All of this was supposed to be addressed in the B25-0435 - Fraudulent Vehicle Tag Enforcement Amendment Act of 2023. It's been stalled in the Committee on Public Works for almost a year. @BrianneKNadeau@councilofdc
Rosedale Volunteer Fest is happening next Saturday, Sept 28, 1-3pm. Great chance to learn about local neighborhood initiatives and volunteer opportunities. I’ll be there representing @RosedaleFriends. Hope to see you there! https://t.co/rt4WRh3dEm

@charlesallen Hopefully the Fraudulent Vehicle Tag Enforcement Amendment Act of 2023 is right behind it. Otherwise we just raised the incentive to use obscured or counterfeit tags. A practice which is largely unenforceable by MPD or DPW.
@BrianneKNadeau@DCDPW Please make sure the newest version clearly gives MPD the authority to stop vehicles with covered, expired or fraudulent tags. This was raised a few times at the hearings. DPW parked vehicle enforcement only solves part of the problem.
