Brooklyn, NY
New York police crackdown on vehicles avoiding tolls with fake license plates.
New York authorities are cracking down on what they call “ghost cars,” or vehicles using altered or forged license plates to avoid paying tolls and tickets.
This latest crackdown was at the battery tunnel on the Brooklyn side of the entrance and exit from Manhattan to Brooklyn bound.
Any motorist that had fake plates, no plates, owed more than five hundred dollars in summonses, illegal tint, bent up plates, no registration or insurance had their cars towed or arrested and or summonsed and, or summons to appear in court. many arrests took place at the tunnel with vehicles towed. the crackdowns will continue weekly at all bridges and tunnels in NYC.
Gotta be rough driving new luxury cars and then being forced to following the same laws as everyone else.
Insurance is crazy high right now
And Jesus wept.....
All those luxury cars were used there’s a word for this “n word rich”
Nobody here gonna talk about that rare gem unmarked Ford Crown Vic in service?
The best cop car ever maybe?
@@metrovicit’s a lot more than that
Newark still has some crown vics
No
I thought it was special also.
Finally! Huge problem in the Bronx too. Alot of them are just stolen cars
modern cars can't be stolen, unless people are physically stealing the key fob. Telsa's don't even use keys.
@@magi115they break in to cars, and program new keys, it’s not that hard to steal any car now adays.
@@RoastFlea61!
@@magi115tell that to all the people who had their cars stolen
@@magi115 lol
Most of the scammers are driving $50k plus vehicles🤬🤬
Exactly. I work for a third party company that does shelf resets in retails stores and an employee told me that the worst people to dumpster dive in their dumpsters were the ones that were well off. Nice home, nice car, good paying jobs, and yet they still dumpster dove.
Easy to afford when you don't pay for toll, tickets or car insurance.
Of course these are the same people who live in squalor or 20 people in one house 😂
Dude, the Bentley?!?! Good Christ.
@@chorlesteajones6794maybe that's why they do it... To be frugal.
LOL. The criminals must feel so screwed. No where to run in that traffic.
Every one of those cars have a loaded gun in them
you MUST not know NY criminals haha even with traffic they get away if they really want to
@@pacmantravel2158not true. A large majority of these ppl are regular citizens.
Also they were all released later that day most likely 😂
There’s no such thing as criminals in this city is just slaves at this point.. if you’d take a step back and realize that no migrant would get prosecuted like this but citizens will, you’ll think differently..
It’s funny how all the regular cars have no issue but the people driving the Mercedes and BMW’s are all getting caught up.😂
Dominicans bro
Don't forget the Bently's
because they don’t have titles aka stolen
Because young flashy men dont know how to act.
@@nychris2258definitely the dominicans, half the heights/dyckman rolling around in amgs to lambos w paper tags lmao, youd thing w all the bread running through there theyd atleast get insurance & register it then again a lot of them dont be having ls
No insurance is a HUGE problem.
That one reason I make sure I have uninsured motorist coverage on my car. I lost one car because some idiot didn't have license or insurance.
Ever increasing rates are driving usually compliant drivers to drop their insurance.
@@billycarr7446 Well, that's illegal.
@@billycarr7446 Then you can't afford a car. Stop pretending you can afford a car if you can't afford insurance.
The thing about it is it's cyclical. Insurance gets more expensive because of the uninsured. More people drop insurance. Insurance rises. @@mikemet1744
It about time. Hey look I know the city is all a cash grab but these fake plates should get ticketed etc. Cause people with nice cars trust me you don’t wanna get hit by these guys cause your have no recourse and end coming out of your own pocket even if it’s no your fault
Getting those idiots is a fair cash grab , I have to pay insurance, registration, and yearly inspections and these idiots act like they own the road while paying none of those things.
I agree.
For real bro! Got hit like that, 2023 cost like about 8500
Same thing with illegal aliens driving around.
License plates shouldn't exist, period. Abolish the DMV.
Why should you have to pay to put a tracking number on the car that you paid for only to use it on the roads that you paid for?
Great to see a Crown Vic still in service.
Hell yeah!
In Seattle some cop drives a 69 Satellite.
Come to Texas lol
@@cameronwilliams522texas still uses them because they arent full of democrats. Police in newengland are the biggest cry babies they talk about how the police cruisers are trash like its their car.
The nypd showing up now after the Tommy g video went viral lmao
Same thing happened in SF all of the sudden SFPD wanna do their jobs
Which video?
@@darkknightmaldo1554 he interviewed squeeze kia and the divers
@@CRAPO2011 thank you! I'm gonna watch that video.
This happens literally every 6 months. It’s a show of force. That TH-cam idiot didn’t do anything.
Notice how more than half are luxury cars. Those are the same drivers complaining in the comments that congestion pricing will hurt poor and disabled people.
It will. Regardless if you think these are the only people complaining. The majority of drivers are law abiding.
A lot of people in this city (and really all other major US cities) want to look rich and really aren’t lol
@@RocketGruntJesus not a fan of the congestion pricing but if you're poor and living in NYC spending money on a car, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance and repairs isn't a wise decision.
It's not real luxury car drivers... as in people who can actually afford their cars. It's a certain type of luxury car driver.
@@CrazyTackydealing with unreliable public transportation isn’t the best move either it’s unsanitary unsafe and unreliable so imagine at night if you work late having to wait 20-30 minutes for a train only to find out it’s running in sections on a different line and won’t be going to your stop and you’ll have to take another train and wait another 10-25 minutes on that train to continue a journey that by car would’ve been 20-30 minutes imagine having to see people brandishing knives people who shit themselves used needles and people shooting up drugs all while just trying to get home people who drive aren’t doing so for style most of the times they’re doing so because public transportation is a nightmare the putrid smell on those trains rotting flesh it’s unbearable and with warmer weather it’ll be far worse I’ve been on trains where almost every car had 2-6 homeless people spread out so don’t judge drivers judge this failed city trying to limit out access to personal transportation all so the could force us onto the failing public transportation system
Do this at ALL thorough fares around the clock! 3 hours here and three hours at Queens Mid-town tunnel then 3 hrs at TRI-boro.
Something is definitely up for the past 2 weeks. Seems like police are cracking down on crime...finally. I'm seeing a lot of action. I have a feeling that gov Hochul ordering national guard to the subway was an embarrassment to the NYPD. and the mayor..which may have been the intended purpose. Also we are in election season and the order may have come down from the top to Democrat mayors to clean up the cities a bit to make the big guy look better.
I agree. Its common in politics that politicians kick things up near an election
Is it possible to make “big guy “ look good at this point…
Remember the NG have no ammo and can’t perform any law enforcement.
It’s more of a show of force is all.
@@michaelmcmanus5196They do, and they absolutely can.
@@michaelmcmanus5196You don't know what you're talking about
Holy shit the cops are being useful, about damn time
they need revenue to feed all those immigrants in NY.
if they were the subways would be safer I saw nonsense going on 3 hrs ago not a cop to be found anywhere
instead of the subway they're going after toll evadors even though subway fare evaders was 3 times as high as toll evaders
I see tons of ghost cars over the Verrazano
I suspect that’s coming too.
explains why insurance premiums are almost doubling!
My son just got his license (at 17) and my rates more than tripled! No particular reason, moderately good student, no interactions with the law, no tickets and no accidents for either of us.
Insurance really feels like a scam!
@@Stephanie-we5ep in 93 when i started driving my mom was paying over 5k a year for insurance and we were sharing a car! it was ridiculous. I would never let insurance company know when my kid starts driving
@@porkchopjp In this case when my insurance was renewed they must have checked with the DMV for all licensed drivers... and I have to insure him.
Yup, you’re paying for you and the a$$**le behind you.
@@Stephanie-we5ep Inurance trippled in NYC because of the crime etc. NYPD is trying to straighten the mess out so premiums can be lowered but it will take 3 solid years of these enforcements or nothing will change according to Inurance companies and law enforcement agencies.
I’d avoid New York all costs.
Yes, if you’re breaking the most basic of laws, like not having a fucking license plate, lol
@@VinnyLogz Yes thank you I forgot that one haha. I still will avoid that collapsing state.
@@Iamtheman4000I’ve lived here my whole life. It’s not collapsing. There’s ALWAYS ways around the bullshit. Every state has their pros and cons. If you can’t find a way of life that you WANT in NY, there’s no hope in any state.
@@VinnyLogzlol you are funny
@@davidepstein4242aka you’re unsuccessful. It’s cool. I’m about to be 43 and I’m retired.
The funny thing it’s always expensive cars. How can you afford one but can’t pay toll or insurance ? Broke ass people 😂
drug dealers
I can afford tolls but why should I pay no one owns the road
@@daniellebrooks7510 I thought you were leaving town . Oh wait NY owns you !
@@3markaw I don't live in ny idiot I visit and don't pay tolls
NYC expensive 😂
I hope this is around 2pm plus.... These people don't even wake up until 12
😂😂😂
NYC probably pays more federal taxes than most states. In NYC, people work around the clock. You’ll see people leaving their apartments or homes at 2:00 or 3:00 AM. The farmers aren’t even up at that time. 🤣😂🤣😂
Just like Trump in court!!
"How much is your summons for" should this guy really be interviewing people? 😂
in other news... a huge mysterious backup on the brooklyn bridge.
I have watched so many ghost car chase videos on TH-cam the past few years that seeing a ghost car crackdown is like switching over from Crook Mode to Cop Mode on TH-cam.
OMFG PLEASE DO THIS IN HOUSTON!!!!!!!!!!
They "hood rich". Got a 1/4 tank of gas... in their new E-class... but that's OK... cuz I'm still fly!"
He said lemme get $2 of 93
Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Bentley! These guys can't afford the tolls?!?!
They spend $1.2k/month on a car loan they are underwater on and can't afford, give them a break!
Cars might be stolen too
The tow companies make bank on this day.
A lot vehicles will be up for auction soon. Living in New England there seems to be more and more vehicles with New York and New Jersey plates on them. But again we have plate readers on quite a few state and local police cars so beware. Better yet stay home we don’t need uninsured drivers here.
Drove by two of these now in the past 2 months. One on the west side highway and the other just before the RFK bridge. The first time around I saw like 20 cars pulled over and they all had pitch black tints.
It's disgusting how many unregistered, uninsured cars are on the road.
Come to Bronx so many cars have no insurance for registration of plates
My car was impound on April 18th for driving 46km/h over the speed limit, in a 50km/h speed limit zone. Basically 96km/h. Right now I have no car for 14 days, my License was suspended on the roadside for 30 days. I won't have my License back till May 22nd. This is a life long lesson I learned the hard way, I'm done with driving fast and breaking the Laws.
what country?
@@subaruamazon Ontario Canada
@@static_Tricolor_camry nj here. sorry for your situation. get waze and a radar detector moving foward.
That's nothing, my license was suspended for 12 months for going 110mph in a 70 zone in NC. I was given drunk level punishment despite no prior tickets. Now I have Waze+RD but I don't go over 95 anymore.
@@user-yf6us2hy1i what do u drive?
Good work, Ladies and Gentlemen.
These things cost EVERYONE!
Book 'em, Danno!
Whats the difference between a Porcupine and a Mercedes Benz ?
With a Mercedes Benz the Prick is on the inside !! 😉
Don't be mad cuz you can have one lol
@@therealjayseh Now days anybody can lease any brand car!
What's the difference between a Harley Davidson and a vacuum cleaner? The dirt bag goes on the outside.
@@whitetrashmillionare4858 only poor people lease their cars. They're so worried about depreciation. If you have to worry about losing a few grand here and there then you shouldn't even be near a new car lol leasing or not. Their ass is so tight it squeaks when they walk.
Same for bmw drivers they are always out of blinker fluid
If they set up a task force in Texas to do this, not only would it help with the crime, but you'd also end unemployment for the next 100 years. The size of the task force that would be needed, insane. Legit there are more ghost cars with paper tags on the road, than there are legit steel plated cars in Texas. It's so bizarre.
Wheres981?!
I would assume one of the swimteam rule is to avoid tunnels where your license plate is being monitored live.
Came here looking for this
@@King_of_Africa and everything that uses EZ Pass
@King_of_Africa there's a video of 981 hitting 130mph In a tunnel
Hard to not see all these ...holes are riding around in fancy cars like they actually have money.
More of this please! 👏
You can't fix stupidity... but, you can incarcerate it!
The loss of revenue is more important than crime that is rampant in New York.
They are committing crimes
Remember the fat guy they killed from selling "loosies" in front of the bodega. People are going to be killed by cops to collect this congestion tax
@@CHOCKO895 he means real crimes
agreed
They are committing a crime. When these ghosts vehicles hit you do you think their insurance is going to pay for it. There’s a reason why you must have insurance to register your vehicle. It’s about time nyc got these scammers off the streets.
Finally!!!!
How about cracking down at the border
derp
Talk to Mexico.its their Southern Border that needs tightening.
@@Richard-od7yd: Who the hell is trying to get into Mexico from the US illegally?
Non sequitur. 😐
Yeah let's send NYPD down to the border simpleton
The most scariest thing to drive around is a car with Paper plates
They should go after the manufacturers who make the license plate covers preventing you from seeing the license plates.
There is only one reason they have it and that’s avoiding tolls and robberies
This has been building up for 5 years.
Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Finally!! This is great.
NY NEEDS MONEY EVERYONE!!!!!!!
It was about time..
That CVPI living on ❤️
It’s about Time! These cars are all over NY City and State . The land of Lawlessness where the government cares more about those who give nothing back to society than the law abiding citizens who foot all the bills!
I want to see more of these!
It a problem all over America... kudos to the NYPÐ.
"How much is the summons?'. lmao
I'm shocked; people not paying their "fair share" of motor vehicle fees!
I wouldn't consider Insurance to be a fee.
I LOVE this! Finally!
Police - "Your car is illegal and you don't have a licence"
Driver from the UN - "Diplomatic Immunity"
Police - "Have a nice day"
Not true. The PERSON has diplomatic immunity but the CAR does not. So in the past when the UN dirt bags started racking up tickets the Mayor (Guiliani if my memory serves me) would just keep towing the car as soon as it was parked. Shockingly over time the tickets got paid and the towing stopped
Would that work with Sundown Joe in the White House? Dunno. But it did go on for a while when it was done.
Or illegal immigrants with an expired FL or TX plate and no drivers license: have a nice day.
It's just been revoked
@tylermacconnell217 don't forget those red Colorado plates everywhere
This is great 😊
Those bmw and mercedes are annoying flashing high beams while they dont let anyone switch into the lane while they do 90mph on the right lane.
Sounds like you get passed a lot for camping in the passing lane. Simple solution, move over to traffic faster than you. The number one lane is for cars actively passing not camping. This has been a public service announcement.
Nobody would be flashing their high beams at you if you were in the right lane.
@@awdobsession717 the right lane is for slow traffic I'm merging onto the freeway and these no plate idiots are going 90 in the slow lane. I don't need to speed up for them , these dumb dumbs don't even have insurance and shouldn't be on the road in the first place.
@@awdobsession717 nice old Lancer Is it an evo?
@@CRAPO2011yes, Lancer Evolution II GSR.
LMFAO @ the Dog and Pony Show.
From ghost guns to ghost cars......and ghost Presidents. When will it ever end???????
About time!
Its always rich people screwing over everybody else
Amazing work 👏
California could learn from this. There are so many people driving dirty.
Good! Wonderful job NYPD, keep it up!!
I saw this while i was passing through. Why would you take the tunnel that has cameras taking pictures of your plates if you are already doing something illegal.
A lot of these vehicles have disfigured plates that can't be read by the cameras.
I bet a lot of y'all didn't know some of your New Yorks finest are some of the biggest toll evaders in the city.
Irrelevant too this sting!
@GeorgeFitness-yo8bl they're evading the fare just like a lot of these drivers with ghost plates so yes it is relevant
are emergency vehicles not exempt in NY?
Public servants who work in NYC get toll exempt depending on what agency you are with.
You’re talking out your ass.
Notice the common denominator
🤴🏿👸🏿
It's so fucking funny that drivers that are uninsured or have a suspended license always "didn't know about the issue."
I've been driving cars for 50 years now and I exactly knew when my insurance lapsed, so I made sure I was insured.
Biggest anti-social move you can do is driving around uninsured and I'm still baffled that people do it on a daily basis without a worry in the world.
Insurance is a racket Free country. Do as you wish.
Nice! The traffic has to be backed up through Staten Island and into NJ.
All these low life’s driving luxury vehicles getting caught not paying tolls and me in my Nissan Sentra paying $200 in tolls every month. SMH
0:32 that lady trooper was fuego ngh
Outstanding job, NY Finest!
60k luxury cars can’t pay toll lol 😂
To their credit I've heard some of these cars are stolen re-Vined vehicles that basically can't be registered or they'd get arrested. They pay a fraction for these cars since they are poor but wanna have the 340i or the boat hellcat.
they need revenue to feed all those immigrants in NY.
Great! Keep it up!
I wish they would do this where I'm from... I'm sick of having a close call everyday because somebody in an illegal car doesn't like traffic lights/signs
My god it’s beautiful. Wish they’d do this where I live.
We need police presence here in FLORIDA!
Dallas, TX and Atlanta, GA could use a ghost tag intervention as well!
"How much is that summons" ... Expert journalism over here lol - I don't blame him, I blame our education system.
why am i not surprised. all i saw was one group of people.
I would say CA has about 10% of all cars on the road not legally registered , another 10% of drivers without a license and about 40% without insurance... NOTHING IS DONE.
What about Florida and Texas? I would say you're pulling #'s out of urpuckerhole without any facts, Trumper worship much?
You can't arrest me im a ghost 😊
Caspar the friendly ghost!
im saying bro just run lmao
I Love it..there’s no where to park w abandoned cars, citi bikes, fire zones, car share vehicles…we need proper cars parked on the limited spots we have
I did not see anyone wearing a traffic vest!
I had a 3 month run , but got real insurance once I saw the news saying this was going to happen
they should do this in ALL major cities!
Scary. 👻
Looks like this is a rampant crime ... Crazy. Why are people so corrupt 🤦🏻♂️ It's sad and pathetic 😡
Nice work
I was praying the trolley company was getting stopped
There already out before I finished this post the only thing moving fast are the criminals through those court doors in nyc
Good job.👍🏾
They need to do this in Philly. I know the PPA are equipped with readers on both sides of the their cars just have to drive up and down the streets and I'm sure they will find lots of them just sitting around.
Thank god!
dam thats a lot of scofflaws
I was behind a couple every morning heading to work they had blacked out windows and a blacked out tag and were police officers who drove into Charlotte if you got close enough you could see a police officer tag
Ghost car crackdown = regular checkpoint scanning non ghost car plates for active warrants.
We need this in the Bay Area!
cool vid
