D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb announced Friday that lawsuits have been filed against three Maryland men who each have over $20,000 dollars in unpaid tickets.

Backed by the muscle of a new law, D.C.’s attorney general is suing out-of-state drivers who have refused to pay tens of thousands of dollars in fines from speed and red light cameras. For years, out-of-state drivers have known they can wrack up ticket after ticket in the District and no one had the authority to make them pay.
