how do they know this guy did this several thousand times? from the license plate?
ifthey knew that they could just go after his business bank accounts. they do this for other people for far, far less.
Article says he had an inactive EzPass, and they simply tacked on to the charges every reading of the EzPass where the pass didn’t pay the toll. Looks like they only have video evidence of a couple times crossing without paying. I’m guessing that there are lanes for EzPass and for paying cash, and the paying cash doesn’t scan the EzPass. Otherwise this case is going to fall apart.
According to the story at the link, they caught him once and then went back looking over months and years of video tapes from the toll system. They probably found a pattern in his offenses and zeroed right in on the time of day and days of the week when he was a “regular” at the RFK Bridge.
