Marion Barry is the typical “Above the Law” Democrat criminal, who feels that just the fact that they are elected to office means that they are allowed to break laws, steal from the American People, stop paying their taxes, disregard traffic and parking rules, etc.
Marion Berry is The Typical “Above the Law” Criminal Democrat Destroying the US Government From the Inside
Not only did reported crackhead Marion Barry fail to pay his 21 outstanding tickets, he apparently didn’t feel the need to register his car, get the proper license tags, or even have automobile insurance on his Jaguar.
Past reports also say that Barry even illegally used license tags from the wrong car, a black BMW that Barry drove previously, which is a crime.
The police should do their jobs and impound all cars of these entitled jackass government employees who won’t pay their fines and tickets, or even impose jail time for the worst offenders, like Marion Berry.
The traffic woes of Marion Barry have worsened following his Saturday night fender bender, with his Jaguar impounded after the crash and more than $2,800 in outstanding tickets needing to be satisfied before its release.
The 78-year-old D.C. Council member owed $2,824 on 21 outstanding tickets that date back to 2012 at the time he was involved in a wrong-way crash Saturday night, according to an online search of the District’s outstanding ticket database.
The violations include $1,460 in eight separate fines for failure to display current tags and five automated-enforcement speeding tickets worth $684 for driving 11-15 miles per hour over the limit. He also faces a red-light camera fine of $150.
To rescue his car from the impound lot, D.C. police indicated Monday that the former mayor would have to pay off all his old fines.
The Ward 8 Democrat was taken to a hospital late Saturday after he drove a vehicle into an oncoming lane of traffic on Pennsylvania Avenue in Southeast and struck a car. Mr. Barry, who is diabetic, said he suffered “hypoglycemic attack” and became disoriented.
After the crash, police hit Mr. Barry with three additional citations — driving against traffic, expired tags and lack of insurance.
The D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles indicates that vehicle registration and tags must be up to date before a vehicle can be released from a city impound lot.
Mr. Barry’s spokeswoman did not respond to requests for comment on Monday.
This is hardly the first time Mr. Barry has racked up unpaid traffic tickets.
The Washington Post in 2011 exhaustively documented the tortured history of Mr. Barry’s Jaguar, which included hundreds of dollars in unpaid fines, the car twice having been booted and once stolen, and its having displayed “inactive” tags that originally were assigned to a black BMW the former mayor formerly drove.
The outstanding fines currently detailed by the District’s Department of Motor Vehicles came after the Post’s expose and are dated between February 2012 and July. The latest ticket was issued Friday, while the vehicle was parked in the 1200 block of Talbert Street in Southeast, apparently too close to a fire hydrant.
The former mayor may be off the hook for at least a small portion of the outstanding fines.
D.C. Code allows council members and members of Congress to park their cars in “any available curb space” while on what is loosely defined as “official business.” The same law spells out that the privilege cannot be used to block loading zones and fire hydrants, or in violation of rush hour restrictions — all of which are among Mr. Barry’s unsatisfied traffic violations.
Only three tickets, totaling $120, might qualify to be dismissed based on the provisions detailed in the D.C. Code.
