They’re trying to avoid any sort of automated license plate reader. Toll, red light cameras, flock cameras, police scanners, scanners for paid parking, they might be criminals, stolen the vehicle, etc.
People who get hit, hit and run victims, anyone else who needs the number plate if the car is witnessed being related to any other crimes (murders, shootings, dangerous driving, illegal dumping, anything).
License plates aren’t just about fines and fees, sometimes they come up in much more serious contexts.
Partial plate matches and fuzzy matches exist for this reason, I don’t think this would protect you if you were genuinely doing serious crime. I looked into the guy a little more, he’s standing up against corruption of the NYPD which is a pretty important defense of the social contract (and apparently he’s gotten cited and threatened for it, because the NYPD doesn’t feel like it should have to follow the law.)
The people who would otherwise get maimed for life or brutally killed by these drivers who’ve never learned due to all the fines they’ve been evading.
The pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers in NYC who don’t get traffic calming infrastructure because these dangerous drivers aren’t getting added to the stats on the corridors where they commit their crimes.
bruh. who is he serving with this?
Other tax payers and public services. No one should evade paying their tolls.
is that what they are trying to avoid?

Probably both tolls and camera tickets, yeah.
