Same thing happened to me, but I was the one that got the ticket.
Judge wanted nothing to do with me arguing I wasn't the one speeding and gave me the ticket anyway.
What is the most chicken$#$% reason for a ticket?

Technically, I guess this EZ Pass transponder is illegal too.

It is a NY transponder.
So it would be illegal to use in MD it seems like.
No, people taken away in handcuffs usually caused themselves pain and anguish. In twenty-five years on the job I never got any citizen in trouble. I was witness to many who got themselves in trouble though.
The perception issue in not whether the person deserved to be taken away or not. The perception issues is about who does the taking away.
Tow truck drivers are the ones who get all of the hate and discontent for towing cars away. They, the tow truck drivers, don't make the laws or rules the just enforce them.

Again you place the blame somewhere other than where it belongs.
If people wouldn't park where they're not supposed to, towing companies' income would be sharply limited.
It may be.
In some states you are not allowed to attach anything to the windshield or your mirror. Of course, this was intended to keep people from putting up stuff that obtructs forward (e.g. giant fuzzy dice), but the rule is on the books so it gives another opening for some busybody trooper to generate ticket revenue.

I am not assigning blame to anyone. What I am saying is that the people who have the greatest effect on the public perception of their organizations is those who directly interact with the public or their customers.
When the price of a six-pack goes up do you get mad at the store or do you get mad at the distributor or do you get mad at the brewer? Again, I am not assigning blame, I just want people to understand that it is the guy on the front lines is the one who gets the broadside of criticism regardless as to whether it is deserved or not. .

I respectfully disagree
I'm sorry I disagree with you LEO defenders. All enforcers of the law have great discretion. And in any public place there are many miscreants. For example on I-495 there are people that do 80 MPH and slalom through traffic like wild men. Then there are those who have a tail light out or an unimportant part of the license plate covered. For an LEO to stop and write up one of the latter while ignoring the cowboys is just plain being lazy and is a chicken$#%^ enforcement of the law.

They don't ignore the cowboys.....the problem is they are rarely around when the cowboys are out.....there are just not enough officers to effectively patrol 495, 695, 95 etc......
