Well see whos behind one of the most exclusive cultural lists intown. First, theres a controversy brewing over certain speed cameras in the district, and it could prove to be costly. Transportation reporter adam tuss introduces us to a Police Officer on a mission to get his ticket and thousands of others around thrown out. Reporter upset and angry about speed camera tickets. You usually hear it coming from our local commuters. Its a swindal, its a way to get you out of your money. Theres too many of them. Reporter almost never do you hear it from one of the d. C. s own Police Officers. Im outraged mpd, even though i brought it to their attention, did not do anything. Reporter hes a veteran of the force, receiptsly got two tickets rolling through the third street tunnel in his personal car. All fine and good if everything was legitimate, but Sergeant Robinson says thats not the case. You see, a longterm work zone has been in place, and the posted speed limit has dropped down to 40 miles an hour. The speed cameras here are still enforcing a speed limit of 45 miles an hour. Sergeant robinson says thats a problem. Even though the speed limit on the cameras is actually higher than the posted limit, the sergeant says its not correct. You have to enforce the posted speed, and it has to be accurate. Suggest robinson took this case to the dmv, which agreed there were discrepancies with the ticket and it should be tossed out. If thats the case with Sergeant Robinsons ticket, it could be the same with thousands of other tickets, costing the city almost 2 million. After the sergeant voiced his concern, he said he was punished. You didnt take into consideration what youve said . Youve listened . But you havent taken any action. The only action youve taken has been against myself, meaning that ive been removed from the program. Reporter robinson says hell keep pursuing the issue. In northwest, adam tuss, news4.

This may look like a video game, but some of these test versus realworld applications, and they arent that easy. How much attention do you pay to road signs . I dont know if you can see them, and then i need to remember and report which ones i saw. Reporter researchers wants to get a big enough sampling to finetune the scenarios. People we spoke to are kind of skeptical. I still have to spend time with an instructor. I think you need real experience sitting in a chair is not going to help you for real on the road. Well, you know, i dont know if you get the sense of this by watching it on the camera. Sitting here my brain thinks im on the road and im this time i avoided that a little more, but im feeling it. Im really losing control. This is amazing, or very sad, because ive been driving for years. The project is still in the mockup testing phase. Practical usage is a couple years out, but dont be surprised if one day the road to a drivers license winds its way through cyberspace. Youre not going to take a new driver on the road and put somebody in front of them, blow out a tire or Something Like that, but maybe thats something we could do here. Reporter derrick ward, news4.

If you free them, if you tell them you dont have to stay there, you can go, and we will protect youve pretty much won the war. And committed the nation to the idea of equality for all. Its a fight that continues and the reason that thousands visit the National Archives on this 150th anniversary. The light purposely dimmed for the xi biggs. Over the years is the paper has been discolored and the ink has faded. So our strategy is to limit the amount of light exposure. That means to limit the length of time its on display, and also to keep the light levels low.
