Question

DC Photo Radar


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? District of Columbia

I received a photo radar (automated traffic enforcement system) ticket issued by the District of Columbia Metro PD.
My car is registered in GA and I hold a GA Drivers License.

If not liable, by what statute?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

If this is a serious question...yes.

If not, then still yes.

If you are driving in the jurisdiction, you are subject to it's laws. Google "Non Resident Violators Compact". DC and Georgia are both members. Read and weep.

Some Places Where Information Is


Type in Contesting a camera ticket
in the Google Search Window
Wash. D.C. traffic tickets are handled as a civil violation,
not by criminal law.
In the top right hand corner of this page type in Camera Tickets in the Seach slot to read previous posts on this subject.
Acccording to the two websites I checked Georgia isn't a member of
Driver License Compact so this wouldn't affect your Georgia Driver's Licence . Google drivers licence compact to confirm.
Geogia does belong to the NRVC. however.
What is the violation you were cited for?

Good luck,
Best Regards,
Hey There

Clarification


Yes, this is a serious question.

I was cited for Speeding, 61 MPH in a 45 zone (though I do not recall seeing the posting) on US 295. It is a $100 ticket !@

Thank you for your answers, esp the links for more info.
