I have 4 ghost cars sitting on my block for 16 months. 311 calling does nothing
Only when it hurts the cities pocket, they will do something about it.
@@lendawgs4167 the person below meant to say of ghost if cars are not crossing toll bridges ...not one catches them
@babyshaya You have to call 911 Not 311....…..
Why would you call on yourself?
I called 311 to report suspicious behavior and they told me to contact my local precinct.
You can shoplift from CVS and Walgreens. But how dare you take from the city. 😅. These people are a joke
Driving is really the only enforcement (Although the Belt Parkway can be a zoo). If only shop lifting was enforced like this to.
Yeah cvs and Walgreens can price gouge there customers and only has to pay the government 30 billion in fines yeah u keep defending these companies
The flipping of the license plate is something that I would see as a child looking at television.
It's like one of those things that James Bond would have on his vehicle. 007
😂😂
So if u steal under 1k from a small/private business you get let go no punishment no bail. If you evade a 8$ toll from the government you get charged with a crime and your vehicle seized
Welcome to democratic cities
@@user-le5ep5sg4g Bot comment.
Those are the rules sad to say
Why are you pro crime when it involves a vehicle?
It’s about time. A tag was stolen from me here in Florida and used to run 100’s of tolls in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Tag was expired for 3 years and was inside of a car in storage. I get all of the fines. I have police reports and have provided all of the tolling agencies with proof that it cannot be me. The criminals don’t even care that the tags have been expired for years.
Let's not forget the illegally tinted windows on the personal vehicles of cops
How about Ghost migrants?
😂
Like Trump's wife and her family? How quickly did they get their papers?
Exactly why they not caring about immigrants and about brining out murder criminals the same they and criminals are killing police they dont care thats why they care about money that’s why they are cracking down on these cars they dont care about people that city cares for them because they lost money they cant even fkin fix pot holes
They bringing migrants guess why so those migrants can vote for biden and cheat they dont want trump these scums they want sleepy joe hes garbage for our city
@lunhil12 triggered liberals always refer to attacking trump when someone points out the country is in a crisis
20 plus ghost cars in LGA 10E lot with fake, broken, concealed plates hiding and 311, Port Authority police to do nothing.
I love when our taxes are used to fund operations such as finding ghost cars ! This should be a monthly thing to insure that people are following the law ! Next operation should be to crack down on MTA fare beaters , I feel like I’m the only sucker to pay for my bus/train fare while everyone one else just disregards paying and getting on for free
BOOTLICKER.
PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE 🤡
No one is forcing you to pay for the mta fare lol
@@Manuelitoohnovideos im a person with morals unlike yourself that has a sheep mentality, you could’ve just kept on scrolling past my comment but you decided to waste your time on posting an ignorant comment.
I just saw a video headline "NYC cracking down on MTA fare evaders" yesterday, so, wish granted. 😅
Only you can afford it
How stupid to be using fake plates.
Well from another point of view it's smart if you're avoid traffic cams and dumb tolls as long as you don't get caught
A politician says she’s sick and tired of people taking advantage. Ok
Ooooh so when it comes to congestion pricing and the city getting their money now the crack down
The city isn’t getting a dime from congestion tolling, all the money is going directly to the MTA’s mismanagement account.
Great teamwork. Good to see NYC Sheriffs get their flowers between evicting tenants and impounding cars.
Sheriffs? How dumb are you?
If the city would just lower the price of the tolls,this wouldn't be happening. The people are getting sick and tired of high prices tolls that they have no other choice but to ghost their plate. Can't blame them. Most of this people don't make good money.
Poverty doesn’t explain why 90% of the ghost cars are German luxury cars? Maybe it relates to how low class people WANT to spend their money. They have choices..
So the real reason they doing this is that toll money
I'm thankful that you mentioned cops themselves can't get away with obscured plates too because some people have been vocal about NYPD breaking the laws themselves in their private cars
Say what you want to say, but aside from the fines imposed on ghost cars, it's a lot worse if you get hit by one of these cars with fake or missing plates and they leave the scene of the accident without stopping, so in a way I applaud Adams and Hochul for cracking down on this
Totally fair. However it should not be a press event. Just do your fing jobs without the fing circle jerk happy ending....
What about the migraine crisis? We're tired of paying that toll also.
I had a comment like this and it got deleted lol
The corrupt mayor Adams and the even more corrupt governor, is finding new initiatives and new ways to continue stealing money from hard-working Americans! These two oblivious undereducated politicians don't realize that ghost cars aren't the problem it's the reason why people have ghost cars is what the real issue is, insane toll prices, Port authority is a money laundering scheme and all they do is take take take take take with nothing in return given
I was just in NYC this week and they are serious about that, saw them by the tunnel pulling over cars.
good this happens when YOU WANNA be CHEAP
Consideration of not taxing the population into poverty should be an option. Maybe zero bail was a bad idea.
Aren’t there dangerous people that need to be addressed? Shouldn’t that be a higher priority?
@@AnAmericanPatriot1555💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
The government's attempt to stay small has made many things unmanageable. Plus, the distance between the leaders and their constituency is enormous.
Put some resources into collecting back taxes owed to the city and state. That would solve some problems, and you wouldn’t have to harass the little guys.
Also while at it, can they lower the toll costs? I mean, I’m sure with the amount of money the GWB makes a year, they could build 5 new bridges.
On the one hand, one cannot help having utter disdain for these vehicles and their owners. On the other hand, given the red light cameras, speed traps, congestion pricing, illicit tolls, and other greed schemes on the part of city and municipal government, one cannot blame people for evading these corrupt government behaviors by removing their plates and ghosting their vehicles.
Now go after ghost citizens, ghost voters, and ghost tenants aka squatters.
The last laugh would be citizens recieved some of the $$$ from fines or a discount on one of the seized vehicles😊
Stop with the Dog and Pony Show.
LMFAO
They should be arrested, not given summonses. It should be a felony if they’re serious about it.
They should do something about it in NJ as well
They should also go after the companies selling the devices used to obscure or switch the plates while the vehicle is on the road.
Yeah you have to charge people somehow. Anyone who thinks this is about “safety” needs to get their heads checked
The corporations that own the toll technology are powerful enough to have law enforcement crack down
2:21 And that YOU, New Yorkers.
Stop complaining because you guys keep voting for the same type of politicians and repeatedly expect different results.
i’m from seattle. my entire block is full of ghost cars i can’t park anywhere. venezuelans who live in my building buy and sell them. wish there was a way where these men could work legally so they wouldn’t have to do shady shit like this. i’d love to park by my building. i’d also love to get more people off the road (im sick of all the traffic). might help a little bit if some people just didn’t have wheels 🤷🏽
Yeah we’ll explain where the money is going, because I don’t see it. Especially after all these years. You guys make millions a day!!!!!!!!!
We need this in Atlanta and Dallas, please!
1:48 no ghost cars didn’t “cost” the MTA 15 million dollars, they just weren’t able to steal 50 million dollars from people
I feel like a sucker for being forced to pay more money to travel in a car that I pay for, in a state where I pay taxes. on top of registration, insurance. It’s a scam. And more people should be upset and fight back on unjust laws.
Plate Task Force??? Where's the Migrants Taking New Yorkers Resources Task Force? This city a circus and Adams is a total clown.
F the tolls our taxes already paid for the services of the road way
Unfortunately they're not doing anything about the people who have the rear plates scratched up so the speed cameras cannot read them
Tolls? You mean insurance.
2500 miles from there, but subscribing ... what happens in NY is always of interest. Good story.
And the settlements must be removed
Can we charge city cars coming upstate in the summer when it gets busy up here.
Nope we pay rnys registration fees, out of state cars should get charged though for parking
My license plate was stolen.. the cop said it will get worse
Not just to evade tolls. All of these scammers have ghost plates so they don’t have to get insurance which to me is a bigger deal than not paying tolls.
What about a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost?
I spend $30.00 each month on the Florida turnpike for tolls. I don't complain
Good effort exposing these thieves.
To all those ghost drivers stay out of New England most of the police departments have plate readers and handcuffs waiting.
TH-cam is replete with videos asserting New York's "crackdown" on ghost vehicles... and has been for the last year.
Seems like NYC has more pressing issues.
Good 🎉🎉 if they hit you your on the line most these drivers don’t even have license
I just call the precinct now. And I tell them "I bet you're not gonna do anything about these people smoking DRUGS with NO PLATES!" in Manhattan/broad daylight!
shit has been going on since 2020. confiscate those cars. don't deserve to have them. with that malintent, you are not a good person.
Should concentrate on road ragers.
Tolls and plate readers are BS!! I. Pay taxes for roads!!
NYPD does more work to seize cars for cash than helping with the crime problem in our city
2:36 -- 🤣🤣... she said you can call 3-1-1.
ANYBODY from NYC knows 3-1-1 is the running joke of the City.
/Bklyn👑
Call 911
"......... they won't get away with it either" ...... ehhh.
what took lawmakers so long to act?
Because they don’t want to lose money on there new money maker. In Manhattan.
What a joke. Get rid of the scooters, when will that happen?
2020 I pay for tools 11.700$ because my registration late by 9 months
The tolls are too FN high!!!!!
Sorry new yorkers your state will keep on taking
Congestion pricing=New tax. Elections have consequences and Democrats never met a tax they didn't like 😂😂😂.
Love this !! Make them walk home !!
Ghost cars? Congestion pricing? Why in the hell does anyone live in a Dem led city? Socialists always run out of other peoples money. So, they always need more. Whether it’s money for registering your car or money just to drive in a busy city, it’s just insane. Chicago is the same hell. For anyone who didn’t vote for every Democrat on each ticket, every year, leave now. The rest of the country is great (Republican states). For those who did vote for this crap, don’t you dare move. Florida and Texas do not want you. Stay and suffer.
Fix the safety and security in the subway before implementing Congestion Pricing!
That’s what congestion pricing is for
Awesomeness yes yes yes yes yes
Have the vehicles in renond9nt have a license plate.
If you live in New York City, move. The tolls, crime, corruption is only going to get worse. This is all about money!
I wish it was that easy. Yeah, New York is one big racket!!!!
Exactly, and from reading a lot of the comments, seems like a lot of folks are happy about the ghost car crackdown. They must be New Yorkers. Instead of being angry about rising tolls they’re like crabs in a barrel. You get what you vote for
@@dnyce8224 I hear ya! I had family who lived in Queens, and now happily live in North Carolina.
Left 11 yrs ago
Move to Alabama. I drove for three years with the same tag. Everyone does it. The only way they can catch you is getting behind you.
Yall all laughing and guess what just how they have a “task force” they will create something new in a blink of an eye you must remember “criminals” beat the system every time they just giving them more of a reason to create something better watch.
Those people are probably trying to get to work, unlike the freeloaders/migrants.
Welcome to the clown state of the east coast.
Lol people crazy dangerous criminals now cause they don’t wanna pay tolls or can’t afford tolls.
I was pulled over by a NY trooper his excuse for pulling me over was I couldn’t read your plate
1 I have no plate frame
2 out of state plate top says the state
3 bottom says Disabled Veteran
4 white red and blue plate with red letters and numbers
5 I have my state tint exemption letter
Trooper still gave me ticket saying tint is too dark for the state you belong to if he would’ve read the letter he would’ve seen the allowed tint percentage and at no time did he do a tint meter reading. He decided to write the illegal tint anyway. I served 20 years in the military honorable discharge and have the tint exemption for medical reasons. Now 3 months later still dealing with this problem. I’ve been stopped before for the tint every officer just looks at my paperwork and says thank you for your service have a great day. Everything is fine and we drive away. I have learned that NYC and NY State only care about money and how to make a bigger salary every year. It’s a shame because you damn well know that police wives and children don’t get harassed when they get pulled over . It’s a shame what of a garbage state and city it’s become best thing to do is leave and never come back.
Mta are crooks
The Roman's did it. NYC does it. Save your breathe
New York a joke!!
The right thing
Ghost cars… ooooh scary 👻
the owners should be deported
$50 Million needs go to fuel costs be cheaper in new york city new york not on fine. Let everyone to drive for free in downtown new york city a tollways needs to go. High fuel prices needs to crack down for good Because I love big engines ❤❤😊 😊 ❤❤
More people are getting pissed at this country 😂it’s only a matter of time.
Getting robbed is not the American dream
Sure we’re gonna be paying the tolls we’re gonna be paying that stupid hike we’re gonna be paying the overcharged prices increased because of Uber food let’s not forget we’re still not putting enough people in jail for all the crimes on the subway, and we’re gonna keep rewarding the migrants who commit crimes just putting that out there
Remove the tolls and the problem is solved !!!!!!!
I agree 💯 %. I've always thought they were pointless the state can find other was to tax things besides drivers.
We Need Rent busters ....with these Ghost landlord owners hiding behind these "LLCs" charging Diabolical Astronomical prices to law abiding nyc citizens!!!! picking the pockets of everyday hard working nyc citizens taking advantage because leaders are scared to act .... when people can't afford to live and simply don't have enough hours in a day to work more jobs to afford to pay $3000 plus rent and food and subway , and congestion pricing they will resort to doing things that leaders have deemed illegal ......rent caps are needed across the board for starters
Can't afford the city move somewhere you can
Real estate fund many of their campaigns , they won't act against their daddy. Plus dumb hipsters are lined up the block to pay 3,000 for a studio
Many wish they could live there too but can’t afford it. The door is open to free yourself from the jail cell.
Time to move and “make your own luck.”
Need to up charge rent all these annoying Midwest people that come to Ny and then complain it's noisey haha
is they weren't screwing people in the first place this would never happen you have to ask yourself this is did people wake up one day and say yup im going to start doing this just because or did people get tired of being screwed over and started doing it out of necessity i hope people sue over this and win
Congestion pricing is extortion. New York is out of their mind. We established the UNITED STATES OVER A 3% TAX. WTF. THIS IS AGAINST THE FOUNDING FATHER'S INTERESTS.
Baltimore Maryland needs that same Ghost Buster operation.
Will they be laughing when the 15 buck toll goes in effect? No. But you get what you vote for
love it
Crackdown on high fuel prices all over of United States. All needs Cheaper fuel costs for good. FJB. Vote Donald Trump.
Facts
They are greedy they dont want to fix pot holes all they care about is tolls and stuff they greedy they not doing this because crimes they doing this because their losing money so thats why their doing all this
Smh
Finally
