Nice. Each state should have a very easy photo submission site for these type of bitches. I’m guessing it’s not a popular idea because many state employees are probably guilty.
The vast majority are police personal vehicles and police family member’s vehicles
NYPD are the biggest offenders when it comes to NY license plate obstruction.
Of course… # ACAB
bruh. who is he serving with this?
People who get hit, hit and run victims, anyone else who needs the number plate if the car is witnessed being related to any other crimes (murders, shootings, dangerous driving, illegal dumping, anything).
License plates aren’t just about fines and fees, sometimes they come up in much more serious contexts.
Other tax payers and public services. No one should evade paying their tolls.
is that what they are trying to avoid?
They’re trying to avoid any sort of automated license plate reader. Toll, red light cameras, flock cameras, police scanners, scanners for paid parking, they might be criminals, stolen the vehicle, etc.
The vast majority are police personal vehicles and police family member’s vehicles
The people who would otherwise get maimed for life or brutally killed by these drivers who’ve never learned due to all the fines they’ve been evading.
The pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers in NYC who don’t get traffic calming infrastructure because these dangerous drivers aren’t getting added to the stats on the corridors where they commit their crimes.
I don’t know what the laws are in the US, but over here in Germany this would be a really stupid idea. Speeding might cost you 800€ and a suspended license for a few months. (“Normal” speeding, that is. Street races or actually endangering/hurting someone is a crime)
But meddling with your licence plate is considered falsification of official documents and would put you in prison for up to five years. I wonder if such a law doesn’t exist in the US.
Also, as I read in the other comments about cops ignoring that. But that would be another criminal offence on behalf of the cop (prevention of punishment by an official) which is also punishable with up to 5 years behind bars (and obviously would cause them to lose their jobs and pensions).
lol we don’t have oversight on our cops (I mean, technically we do. The FBI and internal affairs are supposed to be a counterbalance to cops’ power, but that is absolutely not how it works in reality). And I’d be willing to bet at least 60% of the license plates in this video belonged to cops. It’s wild. In nyc, walk but any precinct and all the personal cars you see are very likely to have some fuckery like this with their plates.
The move, especially in this city, to speed cameras and red light cams etc has allowed the cops to not have to pay attention. They get paid more than ever to do way less work. They’re sent to stand on subway platforms on their phones and hide by turnstiles trying to catch people jumping them and skipping the $2.90 fare.
I think as a German you’d be disgusted the way things actually work here
