New York trucker accused of license plate disappear ruse
Published: Thursday, September 4, 2008 | 7:05 AM ET
Canadian Press: THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - New York authorities didn't see this one coming.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says the driver of a tractor-trailer rigged the front license plate of his vehicle so that it would "disappear" as he drove through a toll plaza, allowing him to avoid paying the $40 fee.

The Port Authority says driver Orlando Payano ran a cable from the license plate to the dashboard cigarette lighter inside the cab of the vehicle.

Pulling on the lighter flipped the plate under the truck. Cameras are used to capture images of license plates to identify fare beaters.

Police have charged Payano with toll evasion and license plate destruction. He told the Daily News that he didn't have "any cable or anything" and that "it's not true."

Ha!  Reminds me of a guy I went to high school with who rigged the license plate on his Kawasaki Ninja to a power doorlock mechanism.  When he was doing something he shouldn't and a cop came out after him, he'd flip the switch (which flipped up his plate) and take off.

Wasn't there a story about someone doing the same thing for Highway 407 in Ontario?

Perhaps he should change his name from Payano to "NOPAYA" :rofl2:
