The place has long been run by Democrats - illiterate liberals scamming commuters to pay for their corruption and wasteful spending.
For example, each day the Washington Circle tunnel cameras sandbag 205 drivers who edge over the 25mph limit nicking them for a $100 fine.
The politicians laughably claim the lowered speed limits and locust-swarm of cameras are for safety. Hogwash. Not when the city extorts nearly $100 million a year on 25mph commuter lanes.
One camera on K Street raked in $8 million in 2012 alone. The camera is right at the point where the speed limit drops to 25mph.
Critics point out that most of the cameras are placed on commuter routes rather than outside schools or residential streets. The main motivation is to collect fines, not increase safety.
'...cameras are in locations where the speed limit [is] 25mph or 30mph, it's not hard to believe some people may go over the limit...,' says John Townsend II, of AAA Mid-Atlantic.
Karma would dictate the politicians behind the scheme would also get trapped, but when they get one of these tickets, guess what?
