Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating complaints from D.C. residents who received automated traffic camera tickets alleging they were driving exactly 11 mph over the speed limit.
What Consumers Report
Consumers report:
- Receiving speed-camera tickets alleging they were driving exactly 11 mph over the posted speed limit — the threshold at which fines significantly increase in the District.
- Being ticketed despite reports that D.C.’s cameras are calibrated with a 1 mph margin of error, raising concerns that drivers traveling near the cutoff may be improperly cited.
- Receiving citations showing speeds precisely at the enforcement threshold, leading some residents to question the accuracy and calibration of the cameras.
Why Individuals Should Be Concerned
Potential claims may include:
- Improper or unreliable speed-camera calibration
- Inadequate notice of alleged violations
- Economic harm from escalating fines and penalties
- Unfair or arbitrary automated enforcement practices
- Due process concerns related to traffic-camera enforcement
