It doesn't matter if you use EZ pass or not, I have traveled extensively and I have been through many toll booths and everytime I get a reciept it has the date and time posted on the reciept, at the next toll booth I get a reciept with the time and date posted on it. You don't need EZ Pass to figure out if you have been speeding between toll booths.

I'm with you on the Big Brother thing, but EZ Pass is meant to be a convienence not a monitor. When the Government and it's creative members who look for a way to collect fines step over the line. It's our responsibility to stand up and fight them. In case after case that intrudes on our privacy we see them challenged in our courts and in most cases our privacy is protected. Most of these violations of our privacy are attempted by Local or State Governments in an effort to raise funds by way of fines.

I own my own business and some of the laws passed by the county I operate my business in are so intrusive it's incredible. I challenged my local government over a water issue and won, and since then I feel it's my responsibility to speak out when it's neccessary. As long as we Americans keep our represenatives feet to the fire and remain active against their abuses we will continue to be the greatest and the most free population in the world. I for one believe we will always remain this way. "We the People" still means a hell of a lot to me. As it does you!

God Bless

That is true but if you go exact change everytime or to a toll taker they are not really checking the time for that, unless there are cameras there at each booth and they put the time times together, based on when they snapped a photo of your license plate, to figure the time spent from one toll to another......enter EZ pass this makes that scenerio that much easier fro them to figure out. I also agree that this techinque of ticket giving is not widely used. Mainly because there would need to be a person in court to say for 100% certain that you went through that toll at that exact time or mechanical failure could be blamed in every single case. This would become costly for the state and I am not worried that they will be doing it anytime soon.

My biggest concern is them knowing that peopel are commited to paying the tolls monthly.

While it's true that having EZ pass is easier for me and you it IS a monitoring device.

I am with you that the EZ pass it meant to do more good then harm when it comes to our rights. I am not a conspiracy guy I just like to drive fast now and then : )
