Is there anyone who can't get one of these?
How about blog editors?
It's a VERY dangerous profession.
A new perk has been discovered - just like having every other Friday off. Ticket and toll-free motoring - courtesy of - the rest of us.
Soon we'll see an AB or SB extending the "benefit" to all public employees and teachers.
Gee, I think I qualify twice on that list!
What I want to know is what makes these plates work. Are they the (e) plates one sometimes sees, or are they in some number series that's easily distinguishable? And in what way are they more confidential than regular plates?
With all of these perks all these people shouldn't expect any raises for a few years. It might eliminate some of the cost of government if all those privileged individuals are required to pay the price of violating the laws the same as all of us taxpayers.
At the least their fines would be revenues.
Missy - there is nothing distiguishable about the license plates. If you qualify, you have to fill out special paperwork and file it with the DMV and they make your personal information confidential - even to DMV employees. (I found this out when I called & asked them what address they sent my tags to after I moved & they were 3 months late.) What happens is, if you are pulled over and an officer runs your plate, it comes back "confidental" or something like that, so they assume you're public safety, so I guess they give you a pass.
p.s. Donald, if it makes you feel better, I haven't received a raise due to budget contstraints. I also have a toll road account that is very active (much to my husband's chagrin), and I received a speeding ticket within the last 2 years. Again, much to my husband's chagrin. Not sure who these people are or who they think they are, but it's not all of us.
