Photo Radar Camera Flap

I've gotten a lot of response from viewers about this story. It seems most of you think Barry Coleman is being unfairly targeted. You may be right. The picture that was snapped was that of a Honda SUV. If you look real closely at the Ohio license plate, you can't make out the letters.

Now, what I think happened is the Washington D.C. Traffic Enforcement Division couldn't make out the plate either. They called Ohio's Bureau of Motor Vehicles to see if they could come up with a match. I'm trying to confirm right now with the BMV is they sent D.C. Police a bunch of records that could possibly be the driver. Or, did they try to make an educated guess and singled out Barry Coleman. Here's the strange thing, Barry got a letter from the BMV stating what kind of vehicle he has registered with the state of Ohio. The letter says it's a Ford Ranger. The picture clearly shows something different.

I've also contacted the Washington D.C. P.D. I have not heard one word from them. It's beyond me why Barry Coleman is stuck between a rock and a hard place. He either has to pay the ticket or spend more money to travel to our nation's capital and fight the ticket.

Coleman did tell me that no points will be placed on his license and his insurance will not go up. But isn't it a pain in the rear to be put in that kind of situation??
