Run the damned toll booth and be done with it... I’m not being detained to fill out paperwork because I paid you in cash. Let the cops arrest me.

Have they removed “this note is legal tender for all debts public and private” from $5s and $50s?

Pay with pennies. Make them spend twice the expense counting it as they are collecting.

I believe they would rethink the idiot policy if traffic “mysteriously” stopped every day during rush hour because every lane was blocked by someone being “detained” for paying cash.

You know what folks. I don’t believe in toll roads. When the general populace figures out why, they won’t have to deal with s—t like this. They’ll raise so much hell, their state governments will have to end them.

Refuse to elect anyone that supports them or that will even allow them to exist. Make a point of it.

Force states to spend their gas tax dollars on highways. End of story.

I try to avoid toll roads, I guess I’m like my father (well he’s retired and 75) where one time he took route 30 all the way to Philly instead of the turnpike. Still, this is wrong and it shows how are freedoms are disappearing.

Don't live anywhere near toll roads and drive a vehicle that can out-maneuver government vehicles cross-country.

Granted, it is hard to outrun Motorola or helicopters, but it's pretty easy to cause the people in control of that stuff to lose interest.

“Many of those who chose to pay cash did so to avoid the privacy implications of installing a SunPass transponder that recorded their driving habits.”

I’m all for freedom and privacy, but if these clowns think that they won’t be recorded, essentially, the moment they leave their driveways, they’re in for a very RUDE AWAKENING.

Google “License Plate Cameras” to see what’s already deployed - and then Google something like “Privacy Rights” in your state to see what prevents the pigs from recording your every movement.
