The traffic camera automatically recorded the license plate of the vehicle going too fast, so the owner (in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa) was automatically mailed a ticket. The only problem: the vehicle was being towed by a tow truck at the time. (Stumblng Tumblr, Aug. 5).
More from commenter Cathy Gellis: “I know someone who canceled her Fastrak/EZ Pass automatic toll account and was charged when the device passed through a toll while being mailed back.”

I’ve tripped the red light camera near my house many times while making a legal right on red. Fortunately (for me), the camera operator has a bad case of common sense. Too bad it isn’t a disease of epidemic proportion.
That is why EZ-Pass gives you the foil pouch to put the transponder in when you don’t want it read.
