Government Stops EZ-Pass Robbery!

My State Senator Nick Sacco (sounds like he could get a part on the Soprano's), chairs the Transportation Committee. He is pushing for a bill that would make it a "distinct" crime to steal an EZ-Pass Tag.

Now that is what I think every legislature should be worried about. Changing the penalties for EZ-Pass tag thieves.

There must be an astounding number of EZ-Pass tag thievery going on. It is most certainly the most pressing issue of the day! Great job Sen. Sacco!

Now if only your committee could figure out a way to solve the Transportation Trust Fund, and keep the EZ-Pass tag issuers from robbing the tag holders, we would be getting somewhere.

Sounds like a good law to me. (0.00 / 0)

Under the bill, E-ZPass thieves would face up to 18 months in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Victims who report the loss would not be responsible for unauthorized charges of $50 or more made before the report, and would not have to pay any charges incurred after the report, as well as any fees to replace the tag.

Punish the criminal and protect the victim.

My point is... (0.00 / 0)

That there are surely other more pressing issues that this legislature needs to address.

The fact that EZ-Pass has failed and no longer will have discounts associated with it seems to me a far greater problem n'est ce pas?

Particularly since stealing anything is already a crime, whereas EZ-Pass falling short and renegging on the high promises it was sold on is not being addressed.
