For over 20 years, Antwon Temoney has worked in D.C.’s car impound lots, which have expanded from one to three locations. The newest lot houses vehicles with the highest unpaid fines, sometimes amounting to tens of thousands of dollars. Owners have 28 days to claim their cars before they are auctioned or scrapped.

Earlier this year, D.C. launched a pilot program using tow trucks and automated license plate readers to target vehicles with the most unpaid fines. In just over five months, nearly 300 cars were impounded and over 2,000 booted, with unpaid fines totaling millions. The program has since expanded citywide.

Despite these efforts, many cars are unlikely to be reclaimed, as some drivers owe more in fines than their cars are worth. Temoney’s advice is simple: “Just pay your fines.”
