TBBills Fan Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) https://www.yahoo.com/news/secret-apprehends-individual-security-incident-223521216.html This guy, an "activist" who is part of a group that takes it upon themselves to remove license plate obstruction devices on vehicles caught some karma lol This genius, in his richeous wisdom saw a few SUVs with these obstruction devises and spring into action to save the world. Little did he know they were secret service detail SUVs carrying a VIP. He is now eating cold noodles and a barely edible plain bologna sandwich in jail Mind your business when it comes to stupid ***** people. From the article: Heymann, reportedly a member of an activist group in New York City that combats devices that obscure license plates from toll and traffic cameras, was attempting to remove an illegal license plate cover from two Secret Service vehicles, per transit newspaper Streetsblog. He was reportedly unaware that the cars belonged to the Secret Service. “On Tuesday afternoon, an individual approached two United States Secret Service vehicles parked in lower Manhattan and, without provocation, caused damage to the rear license plate area of both,” USSS spokesperson James Byrne said in a statement, per Edited August 1 by TBBills Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I've seen videos of these people on TikTok, usually it's just bending a plate back into shape, or removing tape someone put over a number or letter on the plate itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a character and a half . VERY NOSEY anyway she was in a parking lot here (Nowhere near a DMV) and she sees a guy switching license plates. lol She says "what are you doing that for" he's llke "mind your own business" GF takes out her phone and begins snapping pics.

You'd be surprised how many don't even have vehicle registered. They just put other plates/tags on vehicles. I was reading one article out of Texas. Some dude was driving around for years and never got caught. Why should people have to register a vehicle or pay tolls? 😆🤣 Happens more than you think..

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Years ago... When Massachusetts switched to front AND rear plates (1993)... My BiL said that people were putting the old plates from the pre-"Spirit of America" 1978-1993 design on the back of other their vehicles. That's in affluent MA! 😏 MA rules (from Wiki): "All plates since 1978 are currently valid. Prior to 1993, only rear plates were required; since the first "Spirit of America" plate was issued in 1986, front and rear plates have been required since. As such, the 1978-1993 issues continue to only require the rear plate, while the "Spirit of America" issues since 1986 require front and rear plates." Go figure... MA was the first state to issue plates. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxum Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Disagree they speed cameras are for safety only. Local jurisdiction had presentation on speed cameras by vendor and their primary pitch was revenue generation and told they told jurisdiction officials in meeting that they guaranteed the jurisdiction would recover costs of cameras if they placed them where their analysts determined most revenues would be generated. Often these cameras are on places where speed limit rapidly lower on hills forcing people to hit breaks hard and during wet weather you can hydroplane. It was an open meeting and some caught it on cell phone. Jurisdiction never mentioned speed camera revenue say speed cameras were "revenue neutral' but by that they meant it would cost no money not mentioning hat they would would be making money from fees including those for appealing tickets.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Tinted plate covers dark enough to obscure from toll and camera detection are increasing. Amazon won’t deliver them to N.Y.

Technically most states have laws that anything that covers, even protectors are illegal. Also... 4x4s with wheels sticking out passed the fender... Everything is getting over-looker.

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Illinois... The amount is $100. If you miss payment it's $200 limit capped. Gotta get 5 unpaid before license is suspended. It's a ordinance violation. Goes against the registered owner. Wife got one almost 10 years ago, I got mailer AFTER court date. It was in Illinois. They withheld $200 from state tax refund 3 years later. If it's outta state... Forget about it contest it via mail and have them respond in 30 days or throw the violation out. Just keep a paper trail. Oh...They can't add court fees onto red-light cams, etc... in Illinois. At least Illinois put some consumer protection in place when they standardized the traffic cam laws in 2011. 3 minutes ago, Punching Bag said: NJ used to contract welfare services to China (lowest bid) until this was exposed and then they found way in invalidate contract and signed someone who promised they would hire local unemployed people.
