Thanks. Are their Indiana legal countermeasures we can take?Greenwood has them, and it was just posted that Franklin is doing the same. Big Brother is definitely spreading out.
I don't think so. Your license plate is clearly visible to the public, so you have no expectation of privacy.Thanks. Are their Indiana legal countermeasures we can take?
Anti-photo/radar license plate cover and no its not legal.Thanks. Are their Indiana legal countermeasures we can take?
Anti-photo/radar license plate cover and no its not legal

In my experience theyre kind of like dark window tint, some cops care, some cops dont.
So it only blocks tech devices from reading it? If an LEO can read it, then it’s fine. As long as it’s not obstructed or obscured by opaque objects, and in a condition to be clearly legible, you’re good to go.Anti-photo/radar license plate cover and no its not legal.

How would that be legal, particularly in the case where the readers are used to assess tolls? That seems like it would be tantamount to blocking LEO from seeing it.So it only blocks tech devices from reading it? If an LEO can read it, then it’s fine.

LEO isn’t the one assessing the tolls maybe? I’m not knowledgeable about toll roads, but I can’t find any statute that says what was posted above is illegal. As long as an officer can read it, it seems like it’s legal. If anyone has a statute that deals with it, I’d appreciate it being referenced so I can see it too.How would that be legal, particularly in the case where the readers are used to assess tolls?

No, LEO isn't assessing the tolls, but the readers are being relied upon for the toll bridges going between Indiana and Kentucky (and other places), so I think denying the readers' ability to read your plate would be just like blowing through a toll booth without paying. I can't imagine that being legal.LEO isn’t the one assessing the tolls maybe? I’m not knowledgeable about toll roads, but I can’t find any statute that says what was posted above is illegal.

Are angle grinders legal in Indiana?Thanks. Are their Indiana legal countermeasures we can take?
We had a similar system on some highways here in France, cameras to read licence places to pay a fee.Really no different than the readers they use on the toll bridges over the Ohio river to bill you for using them.
Wow! You guys really don't like speeding tickets and tolls over there!We had a similar system on some highways here in France, cameras to read licence places to pay a fee.
They were all destroyed with fire (during the day, in front of the police) ... they collapsed and blocked the highways.
They are no longer used.
I have no idea what the penalty is, they are completely legible from the rear but at angles greater than 10ish degrees they arent so legible.Yes, that's what I was speaking of. Seen them years back for traffic camera/toll booth cam detection?
Wonder what the fine is for one of these? Is it worth the risk?
Apparently 75% our speed cameras ( we have some 3,200 all over France) were destroyed or out of order in 2020.Wow! You guys really don't like speeding tickets and tolls over there!
Most were a stop camera partnership with the camera company that fell apart when it was discovered, that like the mob, the camera company rigged the game by shorting the yellow light times. Once state legislators updated the laws to allow for a minimum yellow light the scheme went bankrupt…
That's great!
Seems as if I remember when the traffic light camera craze started, that a lot of revenue hungry municipalities that were quick to install them also pretty quickly quit monitoring them? Under extreme presser from their constituents?
Doesn’t seem like it, but I can’t find anything about it specifically.No, LEO isn't assessing the tolls, but the readers are being relied upon for the toll bridges going between Indiana and Kentucky (and other places), so I think denying the readers' ability to read your plate would be just like blowing through a toll booth without paying.

Nothing on the books about avoiding tolls illegally? Pretty sure it at least gets you a ticket if you're caught.Doesn’t seem like it, but I can’t find anything about it specifically.
