very interesting development in evading police, it's called a "Ghost Car" and it's simply fake license plates... results? Incredibly, they are outside the ability of the police to auto ticket, robo photograph, toll roll tax, etc.

“Any vehicle bearing one of these fraudulent plates instantly becomes undetectable to nearly every aspect of street-level enforcement, from tolls to speed and red light cameras and even parking enforcement,” said NYPD Transportation deputy chief Michael Pilecki. “They become ghost cars to the system and evade enforcement on a widespread scale.”

NYPD is cracking down on drivers with illegal plates, even if police can’t always tow their cars off the road. NYPD has issued more 130,000 summonses for illegal or defaced license plates, and arrested more than 1,700 people for driving ghost cars.

NYPD only has information on temporary license plates from 10 states, which makes it difficult to tell whether or not a paper license plate is authentic. The fake plates cost New York City millions in uncollected tickets and tolls
