EZ Pass Class Action Alleges N.Y. Consumers Face Unconstitutional Toll Fees | Top Class Actions

It's insane! New York and New Jersey Jersey been sending the cash drivers 1st notices with $50 per toll travelled late fees already applied. It's an issue across the country. Everywhere automatic tolls are used, it seems they can't handle the driver's who refuse/can't use ezpass. (In NY, they use the EZPass hits on the system to enforce speed limits and issue fines. What moron would want a government issued location monitor?) The issue stems from getting notification to the driver (owner of the vehicle, facial scanning isnt there yet, thank god) in a timely manner. (In my experiences, the payment options are rather ridiculously hamstrung and include further fees for cards/bank/echeck options, and didn't work with a cell phone...) They all are fans of imposing ridiculous fines for late payment, often times many pluralities over the toll amount each fee triggers. For example, a friend went through 8 NY tolls on a weekend trip, 4 on way in, 4 on way out. Total toll bill was less than $20. Current late fees applied total $800 (lives outside of NY state, moved to another state before recieving mail. Mail never forwarded, likely discarded by new tenant).
And now the fun starts. The states have decided that the only way to remedy this situation is to suspend their license, without hearing or any formal attempt at notice (certified mail, for example). This would also justify the 50$ fee for supposed cost to track down "late payment offenders," which is the current legal justification for the outeageous fees in the first place. So now you're driving down the road unknowingly unlicensed and literally committing an arrestable crime. Stemming from literal chump change turned multiple-weeks of pay for some, further excarcerbated by secretly criminalizing normal day to day actions of the supposed offender.
Seems like something constitution covered in unrestricted travel to me. How haven't the states been shut down yet? Especially in the current climate of crying racism every time theres an clear example identified where income is the driving factor? Surely Lizzie Warren would be decrying such mistreatment of citizens by overbearing, financially violent institutions?
Our government is the epitomy of what it was inspired in spite of. A few generations ago our government officials stepped up and protected "the common man" from the Robber Barons. Now? It's like they think we forgot how miserable of thing that all was since grandpa was born, and now we're supposed to be ok with the government doing all those financially burdensome things while taking it one step further and literally criminalizing ones inability to pay (and in some cases their inability to reach you).
And then we wonder why there is such an issue with police relations in this country.
