That is the same then but how do you get this number of infractions? I don’t understand. Maybe I should be asking whether we get the same issues here then if they’re falling through some gaps
These people are not getting caught. New Yorkers have very elaborate ways to avoid tolls and speed cameras. One popular trick is to have a lever which engages a shutter that covers their registration plate, which they engage only as they approach a speed camera or toll gantry. As soon as they are out of sight of the camera, they roll the shutter back up.
This modification, of course, is highly illegal but it’s very difficult for the police to catch unless they stake out the camera and wait for someone to do this in front of them. Police do occasionally do that, but it’s obviously not a great use of police resources to sit there and simply hope that someone is stupid enough to do this in the sight of a police car.
