  1. It's been proven to be a criminal Enterprise and unconstitutional in a handful of states look it up watch the Youtube videos of it educate yourself how they're robbing you and how to fight it

  2. Stop charging so much then

  3. Fake news….. Government wants to track all of us. More copaganda on government overreach. They track every plate and where and keep the data

  4. Hey how about focusing on things like I don't know… police beating people to death.

  5. Google maps has this nice feature that has avoid tolls for anyone who really doesn't want to pay tolls. I use that feature anytime I am on the road.
    Just hit the options button and then select "Avoid tolls"

  6. Probably because people are broke , but who am I to say

  7. People cracking down on the government violating the 4th Amendment

  8. Having a wrong tag does not make you a criminal come down

  9. I remember the late 90s. I would pay for insurance for the first month only. Keep the card. I would throw mud on my plates. Worked for years. Got pulled over in 2000 for speeding. They just put it online if you had insurance or not. We in Oregon refuse to let the roads have tolls. It got voted down recently.

  10. Cops running or scanning your plate BEFORE you've committed a crime. Isn't that profiling? That shouldn't be legal.

  11. Make it a felony and put each one you catch in jail for a full year. Then make them pay and attend probation for 2 years.

  12. That's the point we don't want to be tracked but the government always wants to watch you with a close eye.

  13. The same people complaining here are the same fools who give all their money to Trump's grifts. 😂

  14. Good. The same people who claim to be so righteous and quick to point a finger. It's stealing period.

  15. Keep squeezing people. I'm sure they'll never get tired of it and snap.

  16. When I was a kid we would walk into like a 7/11 and steel beer 🍺 so we used the bud 12 pack box and covered the plate and dude chased me out n I dropped like 6 beers but stopped to scoop them up and made it outa there . What was crazy the kids driving where football studs with scholarships to Michigan n Miami . We have been friend since the 70’s I was wild child and they lived beer lol

  17. THE PEOPLE "NOT PAYING THEIR FARE SHARE" ARE THE RICH GETTING ALL THE TAX BREAKS

    D U H

    NOT THE "AVERAGE JOE" WHO OBVIOUSLY CANT AFFORD THESE CONTINUOUS FEES

    D U H

  18. Ppl just don't have $$ anymore, yet still need to work.

  19. Road pirates worry that too many of their potential victims are getting away with freedom.

  20. Deal with expired license plate tags first.

  21. I like that hi-tech flipping plate

  22. It's more taxes they want out of ya.thats all folks
    This is the American dream

  23. We pay taxes to build the toll road. We pay taxes to use the road we pay to have a government tags to drive on the road now you wanna put us in jail because we dont wanna pay a toll.road..I call that a scam

  24. That bald nazi cop needs to find a way to violate your rights.. he's not your friend, and he certainly doesn't care about his oath.. just another bully who wants to get paid for the privilege.. investigation is in order..

  25. Priorities. Often the rights to toll funds have been sold to foreign & domestic businesses. Cops are literally their private bag men instead of solving and preventing crimes that hurt working families. Meanwhile, the rich avoid paying taxes.

  26. Sighted still not all seeing

  27. It's mainly about cheating the Tolls.
    The 407 is a pay toll highway in Canada. When it started operation everybody went out and got what was called "Lawyer plates"…

    It's a plastic cover you put over your license plate so it glares and cameras can't pick it up.
    I don't drive myself but I heard it worked.
    However if you got caught with one and you weren't somebody who should have 1 you'd get a huge fine

  28. Maybe if we didnt need a second job for a roll we wont do it.

  29. Why do we have to pay to ride on a road that our taxes are paying for

  30. These people are angry because they can’t get revenue that’s all they want

  31. How many police precincts do we have to go past Two see those same plates in the parking lot on their cars Do we really need to live in a panopticon

  32. Faqqq tht Americans shouldn’t have too pay too use bridges in America

  33. I owe money for tolls and the state will never get their money. I will always take advantage of a government that takes advantage of me. I also will always win. Lol. Your white world is no match for my intelligence. I even have my own stingray which I use to intercept communications between government entities just like the government does. If it's good for the gander it's good for the goose.

  34. What law states that you have to let your license plate be video recorded?

  35. Democrats desperately trying to twist the narrative and distract America from what a mess they are making of our country and the world.what a bunch of hypocrites.

  36. Why do we even have tolls? The taxes we pay don't cover it? How about taxing the rich and stop giving them tax cuts…

  37. Find better things to do! Focus on the murder rates, and drugs~!
