A friend of mine got one of those on his car. A cop pulled him over and made him take it off right on the spot. Good thing he had a screw driver in his car, or he would've been handed a ticket.

Photoblocker comes in spray form and the cover form. The spray would be pretty much undetectable, whereas the cover one is a bit more obvious..it's kind of silly to have one of those really.

i hope you're right. i've passed through 3 fast trak toll plazas thus far and only 1 shows up on my online account. that time, i actually got a beep and a 'valid' message displayed on the screen.

i've been pulling my hair out the last week trying to call the CS office and have gotten zero response. i'm going to get on with my life and hope that when i go into the city tonight and tomorrow, it works. if not, too bad. not too impressed overall.

Pull over + cover your license plate, + put on a ski mask, + drive through fastrak = WIN

they have a similar system here in the east,
it keeps track of the time,your car gets on/off the toll roads/bridges.

If your speeding the Man knows it.

That sucks, well, you have proof that you have fastrak installed. If they want to ticket you then you just show them receipts and everything. TBH, when a good friend of mine and I go into the city I don't ever hear a beep. He just throws a wireless transponder up onto his dash and then puts it back into his center console.

even if u get a ticket, you can show them that u have the pass on the windshield and not have to pay the fine
