Yes, this is very good news. The Times has been extraordinary in their support, yes.
Folks have to come to terms with the technology being able to, at best, "arrest" a car, not a driver. Even then, it makes mistakes. Photos are not always clear, but that doesn't stop the DC traffic folks - they guess - REALLY! [That was covered in a previous Washington Times article.] So if the traffic bureau gets a photo that both they and the contractor cannot make out, they will guess what the plate number is and issue a ticket.
You could be receiving - anyone could be receiving - a ticket in the mail from the DC Police folks for a moving violation in the District.
[The only saving grace is DC does not have a reciprocity agreement on vehicle registration with any other state - and it is not hard to see why.]
