[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH did the same thing and a cop sitting in the emergency lane pulled him over, checked car, and issued a $500 ticket.  I think the EZ pass sensor on the road must alert any waiting police  that a vehicle is on the HOV setting so the police can then visually verify. [/quote]
Yes, I think it depends on where you're driving. The newer lanes have cameras. You can see them positioned off to the side right after the toll sensors. It'll detect the number of riders, and there's some sort of built in feedback loop, because sometimes my EZpass will actually beep at me when I pass through. If those cameras don't detect enough riders, they have a human review them, and I think you only get fined if they can prove the seats are empty. I use the lanes often with a kid in a rear facing car seat, and while my transponder beeps about 30-40% of the time, I've yet to get a nasty-gram from Ezpass. You're supposed to receive a warning first, and then they'll start charging you the toll + and admin fee.

I think for the lanes inside 66, it's like you described, as they don't have those cameras installed (yet.) The sensor tips nearby LE if the EZ pass flex is in use, and then the cop will pull you over if the passenger seat is empty (which is why people with car seats were having such a hard time.)[/quote]
