At least in NYC where cameras are more prevelant the listen plate obstruction is incredibly common by police who often live in outer boroughs or outside the city and can avoid tolls.

Here is one solution:

Yeah, police corruption will always be an issue. But I'd rather there be some camera enforcement and then we have to rein in the cops to get them to follow the law the same as I expect from others than for us to just to not even try.

Oh, i 100% agree. The other benefit of cameras is that it lessens the number of police stops which can often be deadly for POC.

100%. But no one ever really talks about how city streets are also quite dangerous when you have someone pulled over (both for passing motorists, pedestrians and the officer doing the stopping). So avoiding that danger is a positive as well. Sucks for people who accustomed to endangering those around them and would like to keep doing that, though.
