the mayor/county administrator that installed the RLCs is the prime one to spoof

I've heard in some places that teenagers have been known to print out "fake" plates with someone else's number on them, place them over their own plates temporarily, and then drive through a toll plaza or red light camera just so the target of their ire gets a ticket.

Wonder what the penalty is for getting caught doing something like that?

Pretty sure thats probably a criminal offense in most states.   :police:

She could have nailed Hertz to the wall.  With the court's dismissal in hand she had proof that Hertz had failed in their duty to perform due diligence.  In most states that falls under specific performance and is usually attached to a treble damages clause.  That's in civil court.  She might also have had a pretty good criminal case if she'd wanted to pursue it.  Might still if the statute of limitations hasn't run out.

As I recall, she was talking about doing that for a while, but then gave up, having been exhausted from the first hassle. I agree Hertz was absolutely negligent.
