Drivers in Idaho are receiving erroneous toll violation notices from California’s FasTrak system, despite never having visited the state. The issue stems from automated license plate readers incorrectly identifying vehicles, leading to bills being sent to innocent people with the wrong car model and plate number. FasTrak’s resolution process places the burden on the accused, requiring them to formally dispute the charges. This bureaucratic nightmare is compounded by privacy concerns, as the Idaho DMV denies being the source for the drivers’ personal information that FasTrak obtained. While the company admits these are mistakes, the frequency of these errors suggests a systemic failure in a program that relies on remote surveillance and data sharing, forcing citizens to prove their innocence against a faulty automated system.
