    Who the fuck is buying a digital license plate for $499 and a $8/mo subscription? Why does it need a subscription? Wtf?

      Someone who regularly skips tolls and runs red lights and knows this vulnerability exists?

      Reading the article the subscription can be bypassed with the jailbreak. A red light camera ticket is $100 here, so 5 of those and the plate has paid for itself.

      Of course, you could also not drive like a shithead, but where there’s a will there’s a way and all
