D.C.’s IG Criticizes Police for Overzealous Ticketing


“Motorists deserve reasonable assurances that District entities and contractors involved in issuing… tickets emphasize diligence and accuracy over volume and revenue,” stated a report, issued by D.C.’s interim Inspector General Blanche Bruce last week. The Office of the Inspector General report suggested that responsible agencies use a common speed threshold for zones covered camera and undertake safety studies in those zones. Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier shot back at the report, calling it “unsubstantiated speculation.” Georgetown residents have complained recently about overzealous parking enforcement, claiming that tickets are being issued even when parking is fully paid for through the ParkMobile app.
