Legal Question in Traffic Law in District of Columbia

D.C. Photo Traffic - FAULTY - 3Xs

I visit D.C. on a monthly basis. I have received now (3) Photo Violations from D.C.. The first two times I knew I did not pass any yellow/red lights or go past the speed limit. The third time I WATCHED my speedometer, went 25 in 35mph area and either had a green light or waited for a red to change. Problem is, my leasing company is paying the tickets without any investigation and then I have to reimburse them.

How can I bring these ''scams'' or incorrect tickets to their attention and seperately fight D.C. on giving these tickets? I do not want to ruin my credit with the leasing company, and so far the leasing company has not listened to anything I have to say and only refers me to the police department. I've paid $300 so far.

Yes, counsel from New Jersey is quite correct,i.e., you must contest these tickets in the proper DC forum. The next time you receive such a ticket, you should arrange to attend the hearing scheduled for the matter at the Bureau of Adjudication on H Street

N.E. in the District.
