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

$100 holy shit that’s so cheap! red light cameras here (melbourne, aus) are $495 (~$315USD)

our speeding fines go up to $2272 (45km/h+ over - ~28mph)

don’t run red lights and speed is generally the accepted strategy
