Twitter used to be the best social media app out there, now it’s just a bunch of bots smh. There has to be something that can be done.

@goatofkc Cut the fines in half at least & have them in neighborhoods, school zones, and things of that nature. The city made 267.3 mil last year on speed cameras. Anyone telling you that they’re for safety & not just a money grab is a Twitter bot or not a DC native.

@delantecherry Feel that! So let’s talk solutions — what would you do to balance safety, fair and equal or equitable (whichever you value) enforcement, not being officious, and revenue realities?

Aight… but frfr. His larger point has merit but the 36 in a 25 part is wrong in most 25mph speed zones. I’d still rather have a solutions-focused conversation about how predatory the cameras are than doxx and further denigrate this man for expressing his opinion.

I know DCPD doesn’t make the law but DC’s camera system is predatory. If someone is reckless or drunk driving, sure they should be off the road. But people going 36 in a 25 are not endangering anyone.

In the last month and a half Delanté has racked up: - 22 tickets for 11-15mph - 4 tickets for 16-20mph - 1 ticket for 20-24mph - 2 tickets for >25mph over the speed limit Almost 30 speeding tickets since President's Day is not “predatory” of D.C., it is reckless driving

@Boenau My issue is more with the ticket price than the cameras themselves. If a speeding ticket were $40-$50, I wouldn't even speak about it. I'm not arguing that 25 and 36 are the same thing.

@delantecherry I absolutely want you to express your opinion. I also wish you would understand the physics of crash energy. The human body can only withstand so much, which is why driving 36 on a city street is so dangerous. "The rent is too high" is no excuse for risking lives.

@Boenau Do you not realize I have the right to my opinion & maybe… just maybe you don’t understand how $100 tickets can negatively impact DC natives who struggle just to pay rent?

@delantecherry There is zero evidence the cameras adversely impact black n'hoods (please dont respond with the 2 articles that insinuate this without evidence) and since most roadway deaths happen in low income n'hoods that is where the cameras should go but instead they are evenly distributed.

“everyone responding negatively to me ALL look the same” “Take your covert racism somewhere else.” Maybe the one being racist is the person bringing race into a discussion about people choosing to break the law. These aren’t traps. There’s signs. Speeding is a choice, and any race can choose to do it. These are some pretty bad comms for someone working in @wmata comms.

@delantecherry See northern Virginia, for example, where speed cameras are rightfully put in school zones and work zones. But having speed, bus lane, and now stop sign cameras put all over Washington DC/Maryland mostly seems like a cash-grab. 🤷‍♂️ Map of the over 500 automated traffic cameras:

This is predatory an adversely affects the lower income black community in DC, hence why everyone responding negatively to me ALL look the same. Even found my LinkedIn to figure out where I work. 😂 Take your covert racism somewhere else. Ask about me, I’m not the one.

They’re not here to keep pedestrians safe, they’re here to make money. Tickets double after 30 days, your credit is impacted, & they impound your car after 2 unpaid tickets.
