Man Arrested for Toll Road-Fooling License Plate Cover
Not All Heroes Wear Capes, and Not All Florida Drivers Pay Toll Road Fees
A real people’s hero has been canned for doing something we all wish had the cojones to do. A man from Florida has been caught red-handed using a license plate gadget to avoid paying toll road fees. How? He did it in front of a State Trooper.
Yes, because a news headline such as this could not originate from any other state in this beautiful country, Florida takes the cake. Again. According to WFTS, a man was arrested in Orange County after using a remote device to cover his license plate while driving by toll road cameras. Alas, he did so when a State Highway Patrol officer was directly behind him. As a result, he was arrested. You almost had it, Florida Man!

The toll road vigilante goes by the name of Joshua West, and it’s not clear whether he engineered the device himself, or purchased it. Several toll road-scamming devices and methods are available online, though in our honest opinion, none are worth taking a ride in a cop car over. Then again, that’s just us.
More importantly, authorities aren’t sure how long Mr. West has been using this Bond-like device. Figuring out how long he’s been scamming the system could greatly impact his fine/sentence.
