Yes, there are cameras in use at NYS Thruway EZPass lanes - it says so very clearly on their site. I remember Brock Yates' column in a Car and Driver about a year ago wherein he posited that EZPass would be used to issue speeding tickets - it's very simple to calculate the distance covered vs. time to get an average speed - if it's over the limit (65 most places) you get a ticket. EZPass vigorously denied that this would ever be the case, but you never know. I still use it for the time savings and convenience, and now that I commute on it the toll savings are terrific with the Annual Permit. It also definintely compares plate to tag info and issues citations based on non-matching info, even though their web site says in one place you can use your tag in any car - my brother-in-law in's the car retail business and had a major hassle with this because he never has the same car 2 days in a row.
