Can anyone else chime in on this, I got confirmation that just paying the fines will hike up my insurance rates (from both the City of DC and my insurance company.) But what's cheaper, paying the fines and increased rates, or two days off work to fight this, and if I lose having the fines double + court costs.

To me, the whole guilty until proven innocent aspect of these tickets bothers me. That coupled with the fact that the cameras accuracy is questionable, at best. Tickets are given to an individual, not a vehicle.

I know the MN supreme court ruled these types of tickets unconstitutional, but that doesn't help me. I don't think ignoring them is an issue in DC.

Any more advice would be helpful.
