Such a scam. When those bridges were initially proposed the port authority said it would require tolls until the construction cost is paid off. They never took away the tolls. Now the bridge can be paid for every month.

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

Rich gotta rich. Poor gotta poor.

[@themaverickfiles2020]

Well if only everyone had the balls to refuse to pay the toll by covering up their plates, they wouldn’t be able to do a damn thing about it, close it maybe, but that’s pretty much it. They would have to make it look like a small minority is doing it. That’s why we need a real revolution in this country, too many money power hungry ruling class bureaucrats running the show.

[@mobettaspice]

I’m somewhat ok with that. Just make sure that’s all it’s doing. Just reading license plates.

[@blazinpyromaniac]

Was there ever a time where tolls just disappeared?

[@Xinkgs]

How about you start charging these people PROPERLY

[@iloveTrump45]

Soon they will be calling that bridge racist

[@h.766]

Talk about Orwell 1984 .and this is only the beginning.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@abcdefg12369]

like they wont cover or change the plates before crossing the bridge? no wonder the recruitement process only require less than GEDs

[@almelgen8857]

More control 🤣🤣🤣

[@juanminier6892]

Interstate crime is an automatic Federal crime, bring the Feds in and charge the perpetrators with Federal crimes.

[@andrewlouie6435]

This is unconstitutional: unreasonable search and seizure.

[@JayJay-cw3cg]

so uhh... takes 5 extra minutes to switch the plate or put fake plates? or even just remove the plate entirely to negate this entire bullshit effort? lol

[@cool2180]

That's why they have some police stations after or before the toll to pull people over the system flags. Unless take a license that is clean to go over and then use back the other plate.

[@ceo20561]

Okay New York City you can put up all the license plate readers you want all I have to do is just ride my four-wheeler across the bridge😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Joe-mq8cp]

It's always for your sarety.................🙄

[@edwardmachado6593]

Now that we told the world about the cameras the thieves will figure out another way . Why would we do such a stupid thing . Unbelievable 😑😑😑

[@Snacks1991]

What happens when you doing 136mph what them cameras do?

[@Katwoman4318]

The forgotten borough.

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

Cameras are useless against crime. The foundations of society must be rebuilt from scratch if humanity ever hopes to truly eliminate it.

[@imageislandmarine4988]

Why do you need all this technology when CRIME is down.The necessary evil, soon all will be complaining about privacy.

[@Theworldsboro]

Good

[@supremewhip]

So… what if the criminals use stolen plates?

[@ceo20561]

Now that's an excellent question I don't think New York City has an answer for you yet😅😅

[@supremewhip]

@@ceo20561 I’m sure it will flag the car if the plates are reported stolen, however the thieves would be missing a chromosome to not ditch the plates ASAP

[@Wasupup]

What a joke !!!!
