D.C. Policy Center "Better yet, revenue from cameras could be used to create permanent safety improvements. Such a measure may even improve public trust in the system when residents witness the funding induced by dangerous street design reinvested to make the community safer—at which point the camera can be relocated to the next dangerous location. Finally, in a city with such profound wealth disparity, authorities should consider a progressive fining scheme scaled to income so that the consequences of dangerous driving are not disproportionately borne by the District’s poorest residents."

@atthenius @inthehands "We can't possibly know if this state policy is as racist as it looks on its face" is not the gotcha you think it is: you're baking apologia for the state violence of displacement and environmental racism into your response rather than seeking to actually confront it. In any case this is a particularly hilarious derailment attempt to be reading here in DC, where we literally collect $0 from commuters for their moving violations, so we *know* the entire financial burden falls on folks in the neighborhood:
