WTOP Radio: Same vanity plate in two states results in confusing ticket (http://www.wtop.com/1319/3523074/Same-vanity-different-state-bad-ticket)

QuoteA McLean, Va., driver received a confusing speed camera ticket from D.C. which had his vanity plate listed for a vehicle that didn't belong to him.

QuoteThe ticket was issued on Oct. 30 to the vehicle for going 36 mph in a 25 mph zone on the 2200 block of K Street NW. Two weeks later, Ed Merlis received a copy of his ticket in the mail. The license plate on the ticket is "ANDARE," the Italian word for go.

Quote"I was surprised to get the ticket. But I was really shocked when I looked at the vehicle and saw it was attached to a blue Toyota hatchback. It was my license plate, but I don't own a blue Toyota. I own a red Alfa Romeo convertible, they're very, very different cars," says Merlis.

^^ This is why these cameras are just wrong.  The reason why DC sent the ticket out without really taking a hard look at it is because they want money.  Nothing more - greedy bastards.
