DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Traffic and Parking …

1 DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Traffic and Parking collateral List 2012 Edition Published by: collateral LIST FOR Traffic VIOLATIONS CONTENTS CRIMINAL VIOLATIONS Superior Court Jurisdiction CIVIL MOVING INFRACTIONS Bureau Of Adjudication Jurisdiction CIVIL Parking INFRACTIONS Bureau Of Adjudication Jurisdiction CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS NON-MOVING INFRACTIONS Bureau Of Adjudication Jurisdiction HACK VIOLATION DC Taxi Commission Jurisdiction Automated Forms Process, Copyright 2001-2012 Matthew August LeFande Rev. 10/2012 Matt s note to the 2011 Edition: 2011 marks the tenth year of the collateral List.

2 While this list was originally created for my personal use, the list s popularity and utility has grown together with our use of the internet and mobile computing over the last decade. I have been criticized on occasion for continuing to publish an official looking document without governmental authority or oversight. I find the need to remind these critics that the DISTRICT of COLUMBIA Government failed to produce this document on its own for many years and this list s creation by me was one of necessity. Even today, the Secretary of the DISTRICT of COLUMBIA fails to maintain an up-to-date listing of civil fines within its copy of Chapter 26 of Title 18 of the DISTRICT of COLUMBIA Municipal Regulations on the office s website and fines and amendments must be discerned from the bits and pieces of the DISTRICT of COLUMBIA Register linked therein.

3 While my own need for a comprehensive collateral List may have passed (as I have not issued an NOI in several years now), I am often reminded that this list is used on a daily basis by police officers, attorneys and the general public. For this reason, I will continue to make it available on my website, and when prompted, make revisions, corrections and new editions as circumstances warrant. In compiling this year s edition, I found it necessary to add certain annotations regarding the sources of my information. Officials of various police departments in the DISTRICT of COLUMBIA have provided me with what is sometimes conflicting information regarding the current fines for these violations and I have done my best to discern the most correct and current information.

4 Some of this information will still conflict with what you may believe to be authoritative government documents. Most likely I have seen the document you have and have overwritten its information with information I find to be more authoritative. Ultimately, this document reflects my interpretation as an attorney of the law as it is written and amended. Nevertheless, I still welcome your input and assistance in this endeavor.
