After Washington, D.C. collected more than $1.5 million in fines from a faulty red light camera, one court ruled that attorney Daniel Wemhoff couldn’t bring suit to reimburse those who were wrongly ticketed unless he could provide their names.

Which means that the District will likely get to keep the $1.5 million it wrongly collected from the faulty camera.
