Everything that disrupts surveillance is good. People concerned with the "fairness" of tolls and tickets, or that a criminal might benefit are just grown-ass hall-monitors and it's pathetic.
I disagree on this case. Disrupting surveillance blending unpaid tolls into society is one thing, but this doubles as identity theft with the burden placed on one innocent individual. It's not victimless in the sense a thief makes off with a few dollars saved like an obscured plate, it puts the accusation on a specific different person. They then have the legal trouble to deal with individually. This is something that should be as secure as a standard physical plate (which isn't truly that secure at all).
Yeah, it would be like committing crimes while fooling facial recognition to identify you as a random innocent person instead of just identifying no one.
I guess in the long run it could erode confidence in the system (I know it already misidentifies people regularly) but in the short term, innocents would suffer.
