the real crime is costing to go over a bridge, or into or out of places only accessible by bridges. when i was driving a semi.. 37$ here, 47$ there.. bridges into NJ killed my profits lol... But had to park at the truck stops.
This this is the problem with video ticketing systems. It wastes much of your time and money and the worst part, the frustration of having to prove your innocence!
We had that happen to us. Florida sent us a ticket from the turnpike. Same tag number, different car, different state. We have never driven to florida, to far away.
I told police this 2 years ago now they got a report to look at what I was saying people steal plates imagine the ones that’s smart enough to just steal car that matches exactly
I worked as a call representative for NJ EZ Pass for 3 years, I tell you that not a day went by when someone called acting up and refused to get off the phone unless those violation administrative fees were gone. If you hang up on someone then you are fired automatically unless you are a lead, supervisor, other privileged class in there or are favored/connected. Situations like this involved looking at the picture and a supervisor would probably definitely take off both toll and the administrative fee. I imagine something like this would demand a memo going out on desks explaining what to do when someone claims that their plate was copied. In my mind, I always wanted to tell people to simply cover up license plates to prevent having to go through the EZ Pass letter violation process but the calls were recorded and I didn't know how quality assurance and supervisors would react.
I live in California, and once a year I drive cross country to Maine, and all the tolling agencies take months to send a bill, sometimes they want late fees, or when I pay it, it charges my credit card but doesn't apply it to the bill. Then I have to send them a copy of my credit card statement via certified mail to prove I did pay it. I tried signing up for EZ Pass but they switched me from the NY Thruway Authority with no monthly fee to the Port Authority with a monthly fee. It's always something. The bureaucratic incompetence is worse than California, but at least we don't have many tolls. I didn't mind paying cash, but cashless tolling is a nightmare to contend with after a road trip. Next time, I'm avoiding all tolls, even if it takes me an extra day.
That happened to my dad once. They claimed his car was in NJ when he was in Cape Cod. It took ages for everything to get sorted. This was over a decade ago.
Sadly, once this leaves the news cycle, these charges that this man didn't acrew will probably show up on his credit score. This kind of thing happens to people all over the country. It isn't going to end because it's lucrative and easy money for the government
drive any highway and you can see altered plates and paper plates. the police should have a squad with tow trucks pull these vehicles off the roadway if they are invalid then arrest the driver and tow the vehicle. the only way to reduce or eliminate these offenders is to hit them in the pocket. alot of these motorist have no license, insurance, or not registered with motor vehicles in order to avoid paying taxes and should be a felony.
@@kingknights5107 how do you pass through the tolls then? You pay cash but you get fines for not having chip? Here, no chip means you pay double toll to pass through.
@@nitinkumar29 is similar here in the US. we have an "EZ Pass Module" on the windshield inside the vehicle. we pass through tolls and everything is done electronically. It gets taken out of your credit card/bank acct. no more cash. if a person has a car that does not have an EZ Pass Module and drives through the toll, the Toll/Bill is sent via US postal mail, by license plate number. However, it's a little more expensive than using an EZ Pass, since extra cost is now incurred when billed by mail. But a person like this who is committing a fraudulent act would prefer to alter their license plate and not be charged either via plate and or EZ Pass. If you frequent tolls on a regular basis. it's smart just to get the EZ Pass Module, since it will be more cost beneficial.
If criminals aren't punished for their crimes, they will only be bolder and crazier next time. Plus, it is such an easy case to crack. Simply adding the license plate in the "wanted" list to raise an alarm and have the police chase it down.
@@kingknights5107 no they don't accept cash,but you offer to pay it because cash is legal tender, they don't have a leg to stand on,you're doing nothing illegal
Sorry that happened but tolls shouldn’t be a thing being we all pay taxes that goes towards road’s bridges etc this is a messed up way to dodge tolls tho most people would just cover the plate or take it off entirely when they go thru
Guys ima telling you getting a shade plate cover or a plate that smokes out the first three letters is a must cops can pull you over for it but to them it looks shady but the camera angles and glass blurry it shade plates you drop before it flashes on put it back up after and they will never know unless they see you stay woke my friends haven’t paid tools or sledding tickets in 3 years
They have tolls everywhere in NJ and NY like every two miles 😂 and all that money 💴 💰 goes to politicians who don’t give a damm about you😊
Same when they pass laws or act
Yep, it’s just another racket
Dude you did the right thing and spoke up and not wait it out.

"37$ here, 47$ there"
You deserve it because you are an evil person who demands to "make a profit" instead of working for free.
Especially when your tax dollars paid to build the bridge.
Yes but all the comments want the guy locked up or play the race card
Ban tolls. Your taxes actively pay for the road system and many parking lots. Why should you have to pay more?
Corruption
Whoever designed this system didn't think it through. Oh yeah, it was done by the lowest bidder.
AND EQUITY!
"cops can't do anything" sounds about right.
What happens when you overtax your citizens
This this is the problem with video ticketing systems. It wastes much of your time and money and the worst part, the frustration of having to prove your innocence!
With current technology, the computer could distinguish between a white car and a green car based on car registration
They just want their money, they dont care who pays it.
We had that happen to us.

Smart Man!..Imagine The Other Driver Gets In A Hit And Run, And The Cops come for you at Home or at work….👀👀👀
$500 in free tolls is not worth getting caught by the cops with faked plates on your car
They never catching that BMW 😂

Good tip about asking for a supervisor to review the situation, but covering a license plate sounds like evasion and may be a crime.

Blame the mta and these ridiculous tolls that’s real crime
They did that to me. They even had a picture of my car crossing a bridge while I was 150 miles away in Vermont.
That happened to my dad once. They claimed his car was in NJ when he was in Cape Cod. It took ages for everything to get sorted. This was over a decade ago.
@@ThroughTheHaze Just democrats stealing/taxing money from the citizens
Congestion pricing toll evaders. Cant wait to see how many offenders.
What a coincidence, same has been happening to me.
The criminals are changing their tactics. It used to be paper plates, now they're making plates.
naaah, just whiting out part of the 8 to be a 3
@@jazziez6467yep. First 3 of 3321 has been altered
Unclear if they will face penalties? Why is that unclear?

You should apply for new plates with new numbers. Straight away.

Toll charges collected by license plate number in the US? In India, there are RF Chip stickers in the car scanned at toll plazas for toll collection.
License plate numbers collected to send in fines by mail for not having the pass/chip..

I don't condone illegal activities but New York City you deserve this, I don't feel sorry for you at all.
good for them, tolls are a crime.. I thought thats what property taxes were supposed to be used for
If you faced 15 years in prison and a second degree felony for the first offense of doing that and $10,000 fine it would probably not happen anymore

So, this isn't about "fake " license plates, it's about a tampered plate.
Pull over All paper plates! Another DMV issue!
What’s more crazier is that $50 fee for $4 toll 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ NJ is literally scamming drivers 💯
😂😂i dont blame you for not wanting to pay we tired of this
I saw a vehicle that scrubbed out the blue lettering on a CA license plate. Even in daylight, I could barely tell the numbers and letters on it.
Terrible. I Hate Dishonest People
You just have to pay your tolls in cash in Australia if you want to avoid paying, they don't accept cash and have to write off the bill eventually
They return the cash to you?
@@kingknights5107 no they don't accept cash,but you offer to pay it because cash is legal tender, they don't have a leg to stand on,you're doing nothing illegal
They don’t record your plate number and mail a bill to the address on record
@@robin7499 and you offer to pay with cash
My bill invoice includes a charge for the on ramp and exit ramp which is total BS.
That white BMW owner deserves to get a huge fine and maybe jail time.
why? the criminals are the ones robbing drivers to use roads that are already paid for by taxes.
50 dollar robbery
Noted 😈
make it third degree felony
Luckily it wasn’t the same exactly green Acura or he would need more proof it wasn’t him
on top of taxes, these states like Florida charge for using the expressway...
so some people not paying tolls... that's not fair
Its been happening for years
SCARY.
I hope they confiscate the bmw
That's probably stolen too.
Some people have the nerves.
That crazy 😂😂
Typical BMW driver
THEN WHAT'S THE POINT IN REGISTERING A CARS YEAR, MAKE , MODEL AND COLOR? ISN'T IT TO PREVENT THIS? OMG DMV IS A WRECK.
Sorry that happened but tolls shouldn’t be a thing being we all pay taxes that goes towards road’s bridges etc this is a messed up way to dodge tolls tho most people would just cover the plate or take it off entirely when they go thru
Those with fake plates probably can't drive. They run red lights and everything. 😁👎
Lol state ain't ripping off everyone
The BMW driver should go to Prison
no, the people who charge money for you to drive on the road should go to prison
its ALWAYS A BMW DRIVER! why are ALL BMW DRIVERS LIKE THIS??? bro this guy should just make his 3 into a 8 so the other person gets the tolls ! lol
This is not a new thing.
Stop it. These honest criminals are just feeding their families with the bread they have to steal.
😏🤣🤣🤣
Of course it's a fucking BMW
Get new plates
thanks for the the tips. I changed my 8 to 3 👍
Nice let’s go
An apology isn’t aren’t HOW about these tampered plates shaved off gray lettered plates where are the cops to stop this crime!
Change your license plates
No shit, I'd have done that way before I left it to the government to fix

Well, start scanning faces. If they do this they will do worse, if they start complaining remind them, their criminal actions led to this.
Move to China then. No one is stopping you from living under authoritarianism. Just don't bring that shit here
scanning faces? youre one of those people huh?
