bullshit. i have a fastrak transponder here in california for going through tolls. i ride a motorcycle, so i have to keep the transponder on my person instead of a dashboard. if the transponder fails to be detected for a toll, my plates are OCRd and matched against what's registered in my account. recently, i got vanity plates for my bike and forgot to update my fastrak account with the new details. without fail, i received a bill from the state assuming i was a scofflaw. if the OCR can pick up tiny ass motorcycle plates going 80 (sometimes at night), they can pick up car plates going 30 in the daytime.
