Yeah, but I've driven cross country several times and lived in other states/cities with cameras and have never experienced this either. Admittedly, NYC has its own issues with people obscuring plates, but not covers.

Personally, I actually find the cameras to be less of a hindrance then constant toll roads I've had to deal with in other areas. I'd expect more people to try and avoid ez pass more than the possibility of a ticket which can be avoided if you don't blow red lights.
