Scores of NYPD cops have installed illegal flash-reflecting plastic covers on their personal-vehicle license plates that can thwart toll and traffic cameras — and officials said a crackdown is under way, the NY POST reports.

An “Inside Edition” investigation shared exclusively with The Post before its airing Thursday found covers on the plates of more than 100 cars displaying NYPD placards parked outside station houses and courthouses around the city. The covers, which can be purchased online for as little as $6, ­allow the plates to remain visible but hide plate numbers on pics taken by toll and red-light cameras.

NYPD officials admitted the covers have been an issue and said they’re “working to address” it. “The department has instructed precinct commanders to ensure officers in their commands are complying with traffic laws and internal guidelines on license-plate covers,” NYPD spokesman Peter Donald said. “Just this week, there were several spot inspections in lower Manhattan to ensure personal ­vehicles of police officers are following traffic laws.” Read more at NY POST.

  1. I’d like to know how many of these cops have giving people tickets for this offense and then make them pay for those tickets that they gave out

  2. What a joke. O’Neill is not going to do anything! He couldn’t care less. The Mayor himself has his driver go thru red lights endangering others, just because he’s always late to his appointments. The arrogant cops think they are somehow better than the average hard working taxpayer. They are lowlife bums. Pheh.
