New York police crackdown on vehicles avoiding tolls with fake license plates.
New York authorities are cracking down on what they call “ghost cars,” or vehicles using altered or forged license plates to avoid paying tolls and tickets.
This latest crackdown was at the battery tunnel on the Brooklyn side of the entrance and exit from Manhattan to Brooklyn bound.
Any motorist that had fake plates, no plates, owed more than five hundred dollars in summonses, illegal tint, bent up plates, no registration or insurance had their cars towed or arrested and or summonsed and, or summons to appear in court. many arrests took place at the tunnel with vehicles towed. the crackdowns will continue weekly at all bridges and tunnels in NYC.

Nobody here gonna talk about that rare gem unmarked Ford Crown Vic in service?

Gotta be rough driving new luxury cars and then being forced to following the same laws as everyone else.
-
LOL. The criminals must feel so screwed. No where to run in that traffic.

Finally! Huge problem in the Bronx too. Alot of them are just stolen cars
-
No insurance is a HUGE problem.

It about time. Hey look I know the city is all a cash grab but these fake plates should get ticketed etc. Cause people with nice cars trust me you don’t wanna get hit by these guys cause your have no recourse and end coming out of your own pocket even if it’s no your fault

Notice how more than half are luxury cars. Those are the same drivers complaining in the comments that congestion pricing will hurt poor and disabled people.

Police - "Your car is illegal and you don't have a licence" Driver from the UN - "Diplomatic Immunity" Police - "Have a nice day"

It’s funny how all the regular cars have no issue but the people driving the Mercedes and BMW’s are all getting caught up.😂

Something is definitely up for the past 2 weeks. Seems like police are cracking down on crime...finally. I'm seeing a lot of action. I have a feeling that gov Hochul ordering national guard to the subway was an embarrassment to the NYPD. and the mayor..which may have been the intended purpose. Also we are in election season and the order may have come down from the top to Democrat mayors to clean up the cities a bit to make the big guy look better.

Do this at ALL thorough fares around the clock! 3 hours here and three hours at Queens Mid-town tunnel then 3 hrs at TRI-boro.

I’d avoid New York all costs.

The funny thing it’s always expensive cars. How can you afford one but can’t pay toll or insurance ? Broke ass people 😂

explains why insurance premiums are almost doubling!

I hope this is around 2pm plus.... These people don't even wake up until 12
