It was a few spots down on the 300 block of g St SW this morning with a fresh ticket, because it is too close to a hydrant. Too bad @DCDPW doesn't check if the vehicle is tow eligible when they ticket!

Too bad @DCDPW has such minimal evening and weekend towing; they could have gotten this car from a towaway zone at 3rd and G SW tonight. Of course they also could have gotten it 12/16 (before it racked up 7 speed/stop sign tickets in 5 days!) or 3/11....

Unfortunately, assault with a deadly weapon is up more than homicide is down. More people got shot, stabbed, beaten, etc. this year than last; so far fewer have died, but that's more about luck and good medical care than a crime reduction.

NEWS FLASH: the crime crackdown in D.C. CONTINUES to deliver results. Homicides this year: 11* Same date last year: 29 Same date in 2024: 31 That’s a 65% drop! Safer streets. Real accountability. *The acts that caused two of these homicides occurred in prior years.

This is the shooting in which 91 shots were fired and one of the rounds went into a child’s bedroom lodging in the child’s bunk bed.

@SafeSidewalksDC @drivers_of_DMV @oucmecalling311 @DCDPW @wcp @councilofdc my understanding is that a big part of it now is difficulty getting title information from other states. But it seems like they have enough space near RFK to store a lot more cars...

@StacyCloyd @drivers_of_DMV @oucmecalling311 @DCDPW @wcp @councilofdc There is a back story to this I'd try looking up if I wasn't on the phone but in the late 90's there was a big scandal at DC impound lot where cars were basically being illegally disposed of by staff&in typical DC fashion they stopped quickly disposing of cars rather than fixing.

#weknowwhothebaddriversare & on 2/20 so did @DCDPW who missed the chance to tow this car
OUCmecalling311 🚸@oucmecalling311
Today's reckless driver almost sideswiped us near the 6th District substation on Pennsylvania Avenue SE. The front and side of the minivan was smashed to bits, and the woman driving it was glued to her phone they say that correlation is not causation, but here's $14,000+ in tixs.

@drivers_of_DMV @SafeSidewalksDC @oucmecalling311 @DCDPW When @wcp asked @DCDPW this, they got a useless nonanswer washingtoncitypaper.com/article/780204… and I have made little headway in getting @councilofdc to address it either. They say they are towing so much they had to open more impound lots but really they're just bad at getting cars auctioned
English
@SafeSidewalksDC @oucmecalling311 @DCDPW Why isn’t it @DCDPW standard policy to always check any vehicle the ticket for any outstanding tickets?
English
@DCDPW While you ticket, can you tow the cars you find with lots of unpaid tickets?

🧹 Street sweeping season is underway across DC.
Through March 15, DPW issues warnings to help residents adjust to posted sweeping schedules. Beginning this Monday, March 16, ticketing will begin for vehicles parked during street sweeping hours.
Check your block’s posted signs and move your car on sweeping days.
More info: dpw.dc.gov/spring

@rej_dc Let's see if they collect one penny of any of these judgments. I would still like to see them tow many more cars; it's a faster and cheaper deterrent than litigation and frees up parking spaces.

My kids' daycare is closing (with a month's notice) because of a reduction in federal, DC & private funding. They're closing 4 sites, 3 of them east of the river. Most of their clients are families with great financial needs. A massive blow to affordable, high-quality childcare.

@SafeSidewalksDC @DCDPW yeah, off the streets (which I mentioned!) is the cake. The revenue is the icing. Best of all would have been if this driver figured out how stop signs work, especially at an intersection full of family housing and a church, down the block from a day care.
English
@StacyCloyd @DCDPW More importantly this car, and maybe its driver, would have been off our roads 8 months ago.
English
Don't think I've ever seen a #weknowwhothebaddriversare with almost all of their citations from one camera - it is actually kind of amazing - is this driver only on a short stretch of DC roads or otherwise obeying DC traffic laws?

For @wcp: Viral videos earlier this week led to the arrest of self-professed white supremacist and pardoned Capitol rioter Bryan Betancur Monday night. For those familiar with the Silver Spring man’s stalking behavior, his arrest comes as a relief. 🔗 washingtoncitypaper.com/article/780721…

@euro3times yeah, it was quite frightening! Two people and two cars were hit, thankfully nobody was killed, and I was able to run away. It's frustrating that MPD doesn't count it as part of its public crime stats and it's hard to find out if any arrests were made.

Wow

@paulcwagner While everyone is focusing on crime numbers, please look into what happens when an agency other than mpd is considered the first responder. I witnessed a shooting last May that was (somewhat questionably IMHO) put in dcha police jurisdiction, so it doesn't show up on crime cards.
