Woman gets other drivers’ speed cam tickets — again and again

WASHINGTON - Miriam Singer's license plate reads "MS" and nothing more. The letters are her initials. But ABC 7 reports Singer -- an 87-year-old Baltimore resident -- has received D.C. speed camera tickets for license plates reading "MS ALF," "MS G" and "MS MAD" in the past four months -- even though she said she hasn't even driven in the District. ABC 7 says speed camera tickets are supposed to be reviewed by a person before being issued. Buel Young, spokesman for the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, said it's up to police to double-check every ticket for accuracy before it's sent out. The tickets since have been voided by the Metropolitan Police Department, ABC 7 says. MPD spokeswoman Gwen Crump attributed the mistake to human error. Crump also said some Maryland tags require special handling. Young said he wasn't sure what Crump meant by that. See more from ABC 7 below: WTOP's Ari Ashe contributed to this report.
