BULL$}{!T !!!
It's ALL about the money !!!
We already pay for roads via the Taxes on fuel 
and Tags (some states are charging hundreds for Tags by adding Bridge and Road fees and School District fees.)
Load your shopping cart up to $950.00 and simply walk out without paying. Go to the next store and do it again...

Traffic cameras are a scam, I’m all for beating them.
I hear Vaseline works ...
Taxation in the US is insane.
“Bond thieves” are no different than competent CPAs to me.
Creative accounting, not actual theft of goods or property.
Why are tax procedures in a 2,000+ page book?
Back when the gubmit had some self-respect, I’d have sided with it. Now? The gubmit that spends billions on illegal aliens? The gubmit that removed funds from the VA to spend on homeless and illegals? The gubmit that’s so corrupt that standards have been removed from their dictionary? The gubmit filled with folks who’ve never had and never will have a real job? Eff them and the Dorkbama-run septic tank that they oozed from.
Years ago I realized the Tappan Zee Bridge took photos of the front license plate. Since I didn’t have one, I never payed the toll. Never got a ticket and did it for a year. F Cuomo.
Isn’t part of the problem that they did away with human toll collectors, and went to automated systems that take a picture of a license plate?
There should be no toll roads anywhere.
People are already paying for road maintenance with their gas taxes and with their license plate fees.
In Ontario, many drivers cover license plates with a blue, plastic film. I’ve never been able to figure out why. At first I thought it was to evade electronic detection, but its so common, I was sure police would have cracked-down on the practice
if its just to protect the paint or extend useful life of the plates which probably must be bought from the Govt, why is it blue?
While I applaud these ‘civil disobedience’ type measures, in the end they will lose, as all it takes is positioning some pigs downstream of the cameras and pulling over anyone who either the camera cannot read the plate, or is using a phony number for the plate, when compared to the vehicle characteristics (make, model, model year, etc.).
The way to fight this is to FIGHT THE GOVERNMENT, the people who are imposing these punishing schemes on people who simply need to drive from Point A to Point B, because the government will otherwise win - they ALWAYS do, in the end.
The NYS Thruway was supposed to be toll free after a number of years. They were allegedly going to invest all the money they collected from tolls initially and then use the interest income for road maintenance.
It’s NYS. Never happened.
We take alternate routes whenever feasible.
yep....go after the driver that doesn’t pay the stupid poll but let rapists, murderers, serial assaulters, and store smashers roam about.....there is no danger to the average citizen if somebody covers their license plate but all these other animals endanger us every single day.
The only toll road I approved of was beltway 8 in Houston. Yes the speedlimit was 65 but was never enforced. You could run 85-90 mph and never get stopped for speeding and that was in the daytime. At night getting off work at 3am you could run over a hundred, no problem. They had a bilboard advertising a saying about “let us introduce to you that thing on the right” and showed a picture of the accelerator.
No cash allowed last time on the Pennsylvania turnpike. They take a photo of the back plate and send out a legal notice, along with the bill, in the mail.
If they have plate readers that can’t read plates properly it’s on them to get it right.
Flipping plates well that is a BS move, but the other methods sound legit to me.
As society descends into lawlessness, I'm finding myself running a lot more red lights than I used to. Typically, red left-hand turn arrows when there isn't a car in sight.
I used to dutifully wait for the arrow to turn green. Now I say screw it. I ran one the other morning and the guy right behind me said screw it as well and followed me right through it.
Ain't dystopia great!
It’s not costing them “millions”. It’s costing us billions. They’re cheating us out of a few million less than they want. Drop in the bucket. Ask retailers around the country how much they’ve lost by defunding police and allowing certain groups to steal whatever and whenever they want.
Here’s the relatively sane rate of funding our roads, IMO:
1. Drill, drill, drill for inexpensive energy, products and GASOLINE AND DIESEL.
2. Tax that GAS AND DIESEL at about $1.50 per gallon or so (combined fed/state).
3. Pay off the bonds on all the toll roads and make ‘em free!
4. PEOPLE HATE TOLLS!!!
Or, you could do like Joetato, the Dumbs and GOPee, restrict energy development, try to force us all into electric vehicles, then ultimately have TOLLS AND EXPENSIVE GASOLINE anyway.

Officials look to crack down on James Bond-style tag flippers, other means to obstruct license plates; ‘This is about fairness’
Your darned right. We demand equal access to tag flippers technology! Fair is fair.
