In Washington D.C., stop sign cameras are popping up across the city with drivers paying $100 fines for violations. While transportation officials say their purpose is to make roads safer, some drivers find them exploitative. NBC News’ Erin McLaughlin reports.

It’s only flaw cause she is an entitled Karen and doesn’t complete her stops. She likes them California rolls 🤣🤣
This how “Karen” is supposed to act. That pesky stop sign law doesn’t apply to her.
Revenue collector😂
NBC HAS ROOM FOR COTS IN THEIR HEADQUARTERS!
SEND WELCOME MIGRANTS!!! PLEASE COME!
I hardly see any people run through stop signs, or its just cause I usually drive at night or the area I live at is better. But people make mistakes, or there is stress, or your driving right at the sun shining right in your eyes. Charging people every time they don’t stop perfectly at the stop sign, I usually stop before, or at the line or if there is no people at or near the sidewalk a little after so I can see around the corner. At the end of the day this is just an excuse to make money instead of taking the time to make intersection’s safer in my opinion anyways.
Google erasing comments left and right on this one…..☝️ Notice how all the ones allowed are people agreeing that there should be cameras on stop signs?
The ones that get caught and especially the hilarious masterminds that get caught repeatedly, they will always shout things like ‘government overreach’ or ‘witchhunt’ or similar.😅😅😅😅
If they really cared about safety they would implement proper traffic-calming measures instead of this half-baked but revenue-generating method
Is she dumb dumb 😂
Highest fatalities in 2023… With the cameras.
Its not about safety, its about money.
In my state, you don’t have to pay these tickets. You tell… The company in Arizona to take a hike and they dismiss the ticket. Its a scam.
And I bet it takes pictures if you stop completely but not long enough.
We need blade runners, like in the UK to take care of these cameras.
This is a very smart way for the states to earn money. Come to a complete stop people, or pay the ticket…s
Can I get one of these installed on my street? Please! Seeing so many drivers just roll through stop sign as though rules do not apply to them.
Just ask you city. They are always looking for ways to make revenue, and it may hold down your taxes.
Money making machine simple and clear 👌
Money, money, money, money! New way to collect taxes!
😭😂💀😭 THE DMV IS WATCHING! 😭 no more rolling stops
7 tickets and she still doesn’t get it.
give her time. she’ll get it.
Absolutely nobody comes to a complete stop at a stop sign and that’s not even the point of them
People like you are why we need these cameras to be in place
Have you tried stopping at the sign?
Cameras are a double edged sword.
They can catch idiots that are obviously breaking the law, preventing a ton of accidents as running red lights is more difficult.
But Cameras are not perfect, and may ticket the wrong person, or ticket someone that didn’t do anything wrong.
I actually disagree. Cameras are automated so they’re rarely wrong. On the other hand, a police officer writing tickets can get stuff wrong like pull over the wrong car, not have a calibrated radar gun, etc. Plus with a camera they have the footage and they even show you where you messed up.
@@mariusfacktor3597 I appreciate your commentary, you make hoot counter points.
I do believe Human Error exists as well.
Maybe we as a society need to really collectively think on how we hold each other accountable, through proper and equal policing.
The problem always is, some people have different definitions of such.
The city and the government needs more money to fund the war so our tax money is not enough.
This is what AI is really all about: Watching you, collecting more of your money, and cutting people from every kind of insurance policy.
Keep sending her tickets
Perhaps people should cone to a full stop at stop signs
Big brother is getting bigger by the day
Maybe she’ll learn how to stop after the 77th ticket?
It’s never about safety, its about the revenue, a cash grab
It’s entirely about safety, you cagers just care about your safety and your safety alone
There’s states that got rid of red light cameras because it was deemed unconstitutional. Now there’s this?
Among all the tax and fees governments collect, this is one that I’m absolutely in favor. Rules are rules. You can break it in this free nation, but you have to pay the price for doing so.
Nikki: “I should be above the law. I shouldn’t have to stop at stop signs and I shouldn’t have to pay fines when I don’t stop either.”
To everyone in the comments scorning this woman for not making complete stops: You would’ve been worth 10 points each when I was growing up.
Cars have rotted your brains into nothing but useless mush
The media and the democrats are turning this country into something we fought against England. We are turning into a communist nation
Just stop at the Stop sign then. Just like don’t speed or don’t run red lights. Simple as that.
They should let drivers run a stop sign 8 times before they give tickets. How are people supposed to know they are supposed to stop at a stop sign?
Notice these communist style surveillance is accross Democrat states! Little by little, we’re becoming China without even realizing it.
How about stopping?
It’s a very good business model. It would not be done if it was losing money.
Cash grab.
The goal? Make $$$$$. They can’t catch criminals but they sure can fleece taxpayers. Show us the data. Don’t worry, they won’t.
God you Americans are dull
Not recommended anywhere else, especially if you like not stopping at intersections…
Running stop sign is becoming epidemic. Every single stop sign should have camera installed. It will pay up for itself in a day.
Money grab….
It’s all about revenue generation?
Talk about brain damage from inhaling too many exhaust fumes. If she has this much trouble controlling her vehicle, maybe she needs to lose her licence.
I am SO VERY TIRED of people running Stop signs and red lights. Why is my life less important than saving 20 to 30 seconds at an intersection. Bring on the cameras AND the tickets!
Of course she has a BMW.
Everyone that complains gets a ticket automatically.
These are illegal
If it were AI determining if it was an infraction or not, then I would give her the benefit of the doubt. But since the video/picture is reviewed by a team, than she doesn’t seem to be in the right.
My car has Full Self Drive and is very good about coming to a full stop at stop signs. I don’t think it has every rolled a stop.
For once the lady can feel what many African Americans feel when stopped by cops for no reason. “If you haven’t done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear”.
The video is reviewed and if you made a FULL STOP then you won’t get a ticket. If you got it then you didn’t stop all the way before the line.
Has she considered simply complying with the law?
Good. I’ve seen enough California Rolls to open my own sushi restaurant.
While I disagree with this approach, at least 98% (just a number I pulled out of thin air) of drivers are abhorrently bad. I guess this is kinda warranted. A better aproach would be to go outside and ride a bike or walk 😂
People better get used to this new reality. No more “California stops.”
Cant wait for all car can autobdrive and communicate wuth each other… than these problem goes away…
This is one sided implementation of tech… hence doesvcousebtruble side effect
“The key to not getting a ticket is to stop BEFORE the line.” Said like it’s a so unusual!
FYI… cut a $5 computer laptop privacy screen and glue it to your license plate. Your welcome America 😂🎉
Then you get pulled over for tint over the license plate. Plenty of body camera videos on Youtube of that happening. Same thing with window tinting too dark.
@@JBoy340a NOT TINT… you can see through the screen just fine at 90* angle (straight up) from behind. Any higher angle makes the license obscure and illegible. I got on BOTH my truck and Wife’s car. ZERO TICKETS last 5 years bro… I’m laughing at you right now 🤣
When you take your driver’s license test and pass. After you receive your actual license. You have agreed to your states DOT that you will obey and follow all the rules of the road. Including a stop sign that states that you must come to a complete stop and wait approximately three (3) seconds before proceeding through that stop sign. Once more, your license can be taken away from you depending on many factors or the nature of the infraction. You wouldn’t break the rules, laws, policies, or procedures at your job site just to potentially lose your job and/or go to jail/prison. So why should states governments bend the rules, laws, policies, and regulations simply because you can’t follow the rules of the road? No one owns the road and no one is certainly above the law.
It’s a money grab NJ got rid of them.
It’s about time. More cameras needed.
Drive better, thats all…. its very simple.
Hide your tags.
The problem is they don’t know some of them malfunction and give people tickets when they do stop I’ve gotten a ticket at a red light that had a malfunction it’s a cash play system as well as government surveillance system remind yourself China has a camera on every corner in their country that’s what they’re trying to do here
We need more of these stop sign cameras! My son and i ride our bikes or scooters and these cars just pass the stop sign almost hitting us or other pedestrians 😢 These drivers should ride a bike more often and see how one stop can make a difference for life or death
Just stop!
Violation of priva
In my country, stop signs are removed only a few left. Stop signs don’t work, and are more dangerous than safe, also they are a source of unnecessary fuel consumption.
Glad I live in TEXAS! No tickets can be written by a machine
Drivers think they own the streets. How about being patient and stop your car at the stop sign? Talk about entitlement.
These stop sign cameras are not about making it safer, but increase revenue. Much safer and more efficient are roundabouts.
Oh god we are becoming a third world country
All about 💰💰💰. They can never issue points on a drivers license because the camera can’t tell who the driver was.
COMMUNISM !!! The government should not watch the people 24 – 7 or track them or keep data bases on them REPEAL THE PATRIOT ACT
As Deputy Frank Sloup says, she’s a slow learner.
Anyone getting 7 tickets for anything shouldn’t be driving.
I guess America is now adopting social credit…
Follow the Traffic Laws and you will not get a fine.
Legally, don’t your wheels have to be behind the line? Not necessarily the vehicle.
cameras aren’t going to make you safer it’s just a way to make a lot of money.
Spray paint the cameras
Why don’t you put traffic light instead of camera
So basically, she just proved she doesn’t stop for the stop sign. And she’s complaining cause she got caught 7 times. What about the other times she wasn’t caught?
She has no point in her argument. She hasn’t denied not coming to a complete stop. The video is reviewed by a person so had there been an officer she would have been fined too. Sounds like she’s just complaining she got caught…too many times
She made a complete stop a foot past the line. That has nothing to do with entitlement. What if you got a ticket every time you overtook someone from the right lane. We’re supposed to overtake another from the left lane. Let me know how that works on the freeway for you. Point is she stopped. The stop was reasonable.
It’s not about safety. It’s about government revenue and surveillance.
soon good now people will actually stop ✋ 👏👏👏👏
She looks like a law breaking lib to me
What a scam!
This is becoming a problem in this country when it comes to drivers they are trying to control how and what you drive and how you should drive and this needs to stop by multiple lawsuits for speed cameras all these gadgets to take your money.
Why using Shibuya crosswalk, Tokyo, Japan picture?
Don’t run the stop sign no ticket Not hard to understand.
It’s a great business……for the government 😂
“we have the highest traffic fatality” yea right why dont you think if stop sign is being abused? Some intersection should be using yield sign and or roundabout instead of stop sign. A stop sign will only causes more traffic jams, accident, air pollution and the list go on.
A huge bump before a stop sign will help curb this. Rumble strips can help too although this is not their intended use. The cameras are not the best way to stop drivers speeding past stop signs. What is the goal here?to prevent or to correct?I think it’s there to generate revenue more than address the danger. It seems the city took an easy way out rather than trying to keep the pedestrians safe.
It keeps on getting more and more expensive to have a car, and less and less expensive to have an e-bike.
I agree with ticketing the people who blatantly go through stopsigns, but rolling stops are ridiculous.
Only if they spent the money on the homeless.
Too many cameras everywhere to catch traffic infractions. None to catch criminals. That’s the Dems ways.
Wow
You voted for this though
Just making money off you rather than building roundabouts which actual makes it safer. Hate this country infrastructure
👍
the govt is giving billions away to Ukraine, all they do is tax and bring surveillance and gouging on tickets
Too many pickup trucks and SUV with bad drivers in a rush to get to the Starbucks drive thru first skipping the stop sign
