      Those migrants aren't going to pay for themselves ya' know! Think of all the poor politicians, that are then going to defraud taxpayers by skimming those untraceable and unaccountable funds, after they are put into the untraceable and unaccountable migrant's hands!

      It's about both. It depends on what the person concealing their license plate is doing. If it's just evading tolls, then yes it's about money. If they run red lights or crash into someone and drive off, then it becomes about safety.

      Still has nothing to do about safety. None of it. Whether you hit somebody with the license plate or not you still hit them. The license plate didn't matter.

Do you not understand that the purpose of having a license plate is so that we can track down vehicles that hurt people???
      Are you unfamiliar with the concept of a hit-and-run?

      @NateNate60 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You all want to use the road but complain about having to pay for it by tolls, and if there are no tolls, then you will next complain about higher taxes to cover it. People always demand more government services, more infrastructure, more police, more everything but when it comes time to pay for it they clutch their purse-strings. People seem to think that the Government throws their money away or frits it into the pockets of "politicians".
      And then when people get fined for jumping turnstiles or dodging tolls they tell others about how BS it is for them to be forced to pay for a service they use when they "pay so much in tax already!"
      This attitude reeks of entitlement. These services cost money, and that bill needs to be paid somehow.

      REMOVE the tolls. Every gallon of gasoline or Diesel has a huge tax per gallon in it - raising the price per gallon - to supposedly provide the funds to maintain the roadway.
      I live on the West Coast. People with a bunch of money are clamoring for more tolls and tolled HOV lanes. However, years ago we drove completely across country all the way back east. Never forget the "Chicago" experience. Pay a toll to get ON a bridge - and also had to pay a Toll to GET OFF the same Bridge. Crossing a river or lake or something. Totally Insane.

    Why is the city government always caught with its pants down when the market responds to new policy or laws? If the government repeatedly raises fares for public transit, then it is likely more of the public will try to evade paying fares. If the government decides to award only a handful of licenses to sell marijuana in a city of 8 million people, then you should expect a lot of businesses to sell marijuana without a license. If the government repeatedly raises tolls for bridges, tunnels, and roads, then it is predictable more drives will try to evade tolls. Government officials may find it convenient to pretend that the response to enacting policy will be anything but complete acceptance and obedience by the public, but most of us live in reality where we are expected to be able to deal with the foreseeable consequences from our actions. This is just more proof that the government is being run by people who are incapable of critical thinking and unwilling to accept the responsibility for solving complex problems. The public deserves better solutions than constantly hiking fares, tolls, fees, fines, and taxes.

      Notice your ticket is always B/W photo. So IR will appear white. Cars are never photo from front cause headlights. Cameras are hidden behind usually dirty glass, at an angle and elevated. To catch the plates that are (TILTED UPWARDS) 🤨 so fix that make the plate straight vertical. Add ir flood light to sides or even in you back window. Or ad tactical glint tape pieces to things 👌. Micro glass beads catch light from angles making some shot from an angle over bright. The more angle the more glare.

    I've got items to cover my tag... solely because of cameras that do absolutely nothing but generate citations.
    Cameras should be legally limited to investigative purposes ONLY. Using them for no reason other than generating citations should be illegal.
    The tolls are simply another tax. While sales and income taxes continue to rise the govt always finds new ways to tax those without entire legions of lawyers to prevent paying a dime in taxes...

      tolls pay for roads and bridges.

      I believe that falls under an "illegal search". They need a Federal Warrant to even have those cameras out there.
