Not sure I'd ever actually do it though.
Yea I think it would be great for tolls. But a friend of mine in north jersey said he blows the state tolls every time and the cameras are fake. He said he has never gotten a ticket before. Actually now that I'm thinking about it I didn't have change the one day and blew a toll and never got a ticket

many years ago me and a friend had a similar idea but we thought it would be better to use a piece of privacy glass as a plate cover. A quick search and I found this:

It is normally opaque, and you have to add current to make it clear. This could be a negative or a positive. You could draw attention by having no visible plate while the car is parked. Or if you are worried about being tracked in a database by those cop cars with the tag cameras on them, this will keep them from logging your car. As far as I know it is not illegal to not have a visible tag in a private parking lot. But if their system alerts them or they see that no tag is visible, they may just park and wait for you to come back. I don't know how much current it takes to keep it clear, so it could kill your battery after X amount of time, but I am mostly beyond doing this at this point in my life. If I had a lot of traffic cameras or toll roads I might still consider it.

OP is foolish blowing his Mossad cover. No hummus for you!

There was an article in the local news a few years ago about a guy who was pulled over on our express toll road trying to cheat the camera with a cord operated mechanical front plate flipper.

I was caught on a red light camera at the same intersection last year twice in 7 days last year. Both times a fraction of a second past the red and at that time I was really sick with pneumonia, coughing and gagging. End result, two $320 fines which I paid without argument. The camera evidence is of the rear plate and I had recently installed bright LED plate lights. That was a lesson learned. Dirty plates, dark plate covers etc would have gotten away with it. On the bright side there is no conviction since they cant prove who was driving the car.

Wish it was fake here in Cali.. I had to use my GPS last year to go home since I didn't know where I was. The GPS took me down the toll lanes without me not knowing since I thought it would avoid those lanes for me.. guess not. So few weeks later, got a bill for like $70.. called them and said I didn't know I was on the toll lane and they helped me reduced it to around $50.. lol lesson learned

The price on the US website is crazy. Fair price for this is $150 at most. Made in China anyway...
