Just stick a reflective piece of plastic over it. Or swap it out with an old plate

I don’t get what’s so funny. Seems like a legitimate way to foil these 3rd party parking Nazis.

If you aren’t driving then you won’t get stopped and ticketed for the license plate. Just have your real plate back on when you start driving.


What am I missing?

Don't worry about the cameras now. Just get a new license plate when your time runs out and you go on the boot list. Until then you can blow through the cameras with no worry, because your license plate is going to be "stolen" in a couple months and those tickets are gone.

you post that enough times, they'll start scanning VINs

I just ignore them. They are unconstitutional because the appeal process is a fraud.

The new mayor Cantrell is suppposed to get rid of the traffic cameras.

Baton Rouge traffic cop that doesn't review shite, and will sign anything.

There was a scandal in some city (I think it was Baltimore but not 100% sure) where it was discovered that the cop that was reviewing and signing off these tickets had been dead for three years.

You can cite the Sixth Amendment. No right to face your accuser, who should be the state/local law enforcement who have the power to actually enforce the law, nor does the accused get the presumption of innocence when a fine is issued for a presumptive crime without the state having to prove its case. it is unconstitutional (and nonsensical) to outsource a public law enforcement duty (traffic enforcement) to a private, unaccountable third party.

Motorists in New Orleans could still get booted if a single traffic camera ticket is unpaid. Brossett's ordinance doesn't cover the city's extensive network of red light and speeding camera enforcement, which Mayor-elect LaToya Cantrell has pledged to dismantle.

You can be quite sure that the various states that do this passed laws to get around this.

For example, this is always treated as a civil matter and not a law enforcement case. That pretty much invalidates everything you said. Essentially you are being sued by the state (or municipality), not charged.

So in Maryland they don't boot your car, they simply turn over overdue fines to collections. And of course the fine is lower so that it really isn't worth most people's trouble to fight it anyway.

Now, all of us can complain about how "it isn't Constitutional! Yeah!" that doesn't mean shite unless a court agrees with you.

Sixth Amendment? As a previous poster wrote, that only applies to criminal proceedings.
