Hmmmm?

More to read at the link provided. You can read how this practice is costing the Florida taxpayers more money than it is worth, doing this.

I think I was behind this jerk or a jerk like him to lazy to have $1 for a toll or just out to prove a point.

Nobody is being “detained”, you just aren’t allowed to go through until you pay and the toll clerk is not permitted to make change for high denominiation bills. What don’t they get about that? Now if you want to make a stink about it, sure you will get detained, for causing a public disturbance!

Think about it. Who in their right minds wants to pay a toll with a large bill UNLESS 1) it is all they have or 2) they are out to prove a point like this jerk.

This lazy jerk’s rights end where he infringes on my rights to timely and efficient passage over public and private roads.

This will simply push them to electronic-only tolling.

Drive around with tracking transponders in your cars, or stay off of the toll roads. That simple.

“This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private”

All security and antitheft measures “cost more than they are worth” if the accounting is narrowly restricted to criminals caught and prosecuted instead of the benefits of deterrence. And no one likes getting stuck with counterfeit bills. The simpler resolution for the Turnpike is to flatly prohibit payment with large bills.

I bought a 'Sunpass' to get around having to stop and pay the tolls.

When I called to activate the pass the person I spoke to wanted my credit card information, tag number, DL number, and my mother's maiden name. At that I stopped the person asking the questions and told him I knew that my mother's maiden name was NOT required. He reluctantly backed off. I suspect some major identity theft's going on within the system.

They're all acting like TSA totalitarians wannabees running a checkpoint. It's offensive.

In a Marxist society, it’s fun to be a commissar.

Huh!

I don’t get why the tolltakers aren’t issued a marker pen like my bank uses to check for conterfeit bills.

I also think FDOT needs their heads examined. Legal tender.

Especially for $20 bills, which are what ATMs pay out. What the heck else do they expect, especially with pay-at-the-pump which spares drivers having to enter stores for purchases?
