Yes. I checked in case I somehow didn’t notice. Front and back are still there, with the plate number that is on my registration.


Same State Tag?


It looks like it, but it becomes blurry when I try to zoom in on that part. Florida’s system just shows the car, doesn’t show a close up of the plate (though the plate was visible in the shot of the whole car).

Those plate readers are frequently wrong so that is why they send a photo. Here’s a funny example

Send a copy of your registration that they have the wrong car



I looked up the ticket online; it shows the same picture, but I was able to zoom in better. It 100% is my license plate number.


You have just admitted guilt.


How? It’s my number, not my plate. My plates are still on my car, I just checked.


Good luck with proving a negative. You are going to be talking to the police. The same people who wanted me to prove I wasn't wanted in North Carolina.


Police for a toll road violation? Not likely.

People can fake license plates. I don't know how likely you are to be able to fight this, but I think you should try.

Is there a state sanctioned website where they want you to pay? Verify the URL to make sure it's not a scam.


There is a picture of an suv with “Land Rover” in clear letters across the front. My car is a Subaru Impreza. Tried calling the number and seems to be legit.

Send a nicely worded letter, via certified mail, that they made a mistake and you weren’t there.

I received a ticket in the mail for going through a toll without paying (Florida). I haven’t been to Florida in over a decade, and rented a car when I did. My car has only been in Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania since the plate was issued in the fall. How is this possible, and is it possible to fight it?
