He used a remote control to troll the toll, cops allege.
A 70-year-old Key Largo man deployed a remote-controlled license plate cover in an attempt to evade the tolls on Florida’s Turnpike in Miami-Dade County, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
Unluckily for him, however, he did so in full view of an off-duty FHP trooper.
It was just before 3 p.m. on Saturday when Davis was driving south in his Chrysler Pacifica minivan on the Turnpike approaching the Bird Road toll plaza, the arrest report stated.
That’s when Lt. Alejandro Camacho, who was off duty and driving his own car, said he noticed a black curtain-like sheath of material scroll down to cover the minivan’s license plate.
Then, once the van was well past the toll plaza’s cameras, the curtain scrolled back up to uncover the license plate.

I like the Newsweek version better because of the perp photo and excellent investigative journalism:
From the Newsweek article: “Police believe Davis was using the device to evade paying toll fees.”
Wonder how they deduced that.

Might be best to leave that trick to James Bond.
If you’re against government owned roads in your youth then you have no heart. If you’re for government roads as an adult then you have no brain.
(All self driving cars will be government driven cars.)
In a Dick Tracy cartoon more than fifty ears ago, one bad guy had a license plate hooked up to change the numbers from inside the car.
Sheesh, just slap some mud over 1 or 2 digits.
You know that’s one of those things that never made much sense with the bond cars. The cars are so fancy and unique that one couldn’t forget them. So why the changing of the plates? Unless of course everyone in Europe has a fancy Jag.
That intrepid officer will may become President one day!
Good point!
Kind of like putting a T-shirt on a chimp hoping no one will notice it’s a chimp.
Make America Tolled Again! will be his slogan.

Man somewhere in that is a three stooges skit. Nuk nuk nuk...
LOL :)
