You know, I would have believed you a couple of months ago, until I was fined by EZ Pass NY for a toll plaza I never went through. The truck was actually in pieces at the time. It starts off as a $25 fine for something you never did. It was sent to me with no picture, so how am I to know what they have on record aside from my plate #. A number of things could happen in the process of trying to plead not guilty of something you didn't do. How do you prove you weren't there? When EZ Pass doesn't get their money on time, they send your information to a collections agency and tag on more fines. A $25 mistake can turn into $1000+ in a hurry if you try to take it to court, which in one of the most expensive states to live in is painful. It's not much different from the controversy of red light cameras being installed around the state as revenue-generators.
