If they started using the tags for speed enforcement then nobody would use the tags, thus defeating the major benefits the toll road gets from using the tags. Being able to revert to cash is part of why I'm not that keen about the Westpark Tollroad being EZ-Tag only. edit - fixed link Darrell Spice, Jr. [link\|http://www.spiceware.org/cgi-bin/spa.pl?album=./Artistic%20Overpass\|Artistic Overpass]\n[link\|http://www.spiceware.org/\|SpiceWare] - We don't do Windows, it's too much of a chore Edited by SpiceWare March 30, 2004, 01:50:54 PM EST Used for that here [link\|http://traffic.houstontranstar.org/incmap/Houston Real-Tile Traffic Map\|http://traffic.houst...-Tile Traffic Map] It's not used to report to the police, else I'd have had a number of tickets by now - especially since the sensors are on the regular highways as well as the tollroad.

The case was that someone insisted that a product be paid for by a credit card. The potential buyer refused, and cited an FTC(?) rule stating that if a purchaser offers to pay for a good or service with legal tender (read: cash) and the seller refused, the purchaser can assume that the seller is offering that good/service for free. So he took it and walked out of the store. The seller had the "purchaser" arrested, it went to court, and the "purchaser" won. I see a test case coming for the first person whizzing through your Tejano-IPass-equivalent waving a dollar bill for the requisite closed-circuit camera to see.
