You want to keep them in as long as possible. Shawn over to you. Coming up next tonight red light camaras rake in millions for d. C. Tonight were showing you just how hard it is to appeal and win in a fox 5 investigation. Well be right back.  this is fox 5 news at 10 00. Those d. C. Red light camaras rake in millions of dollars even when drivers dont run a red light. Try to appeal one and it could take a year. The system is stacked against drivers and some say thats just the way the city wants it. Fox 5 sherri ly investigates. Red light camaras all over d. C. Nabbing drivers and sticking them with a 100 50 fine. 150. The intersections red light camera caught her but not the way it looks. I did nothing wrong. The pictures on the ticket seem to prove it. Theres her car in the leftturn lane stopped. The light is red but she switched lanes and theres her car driving straight through the intersection. The light is green. I was in the wrong lane. I got in the correct lane to go straight ahead. Im thinking if i have the light to go straight ahead i should not get this ticket. Ticket dismissed, wrong. I think thats what caught me in shock. You look at it and keep looking. 150 for being in the right. How do you get punished. A. A. A. Midatlantic sends it to police chief cathy lanier questioning the violation. If they see violation did not occur, then they should toss the ticket. In an email a spokesperson for the department of not of the vehicles said the video and photo show ms.

They have so many cases that they have backlog of cases and not enough hearing officers so theyre rubber stamping tickets. If you lose you must pay the ticket but drivers can take the case to an peels board. If the ruling is overturned youll get another money back appeals board. Doing nothing wrong is not a defense. The rules are stacked against them. Theres only three grounds for appeal. If the vehicle or license plates were reported stolen the vehicle was part of a funeral procession or the driver was yielding to an emergency vehicle. The system is designed to uphold the tickets because its about revenue. So i paid the 150 and im so upset for not fighting it. The program started in 1999 but eight years later the number of tickets and revenue dropped to 64,000 tickets and 4. 2 million in revenue. Then two years ago the fine doubled from 75 to 150.
