You do realize the following, don't you?
EZPass transponders and the Toll Plazas scan your License Plates & takes images of the Vehicle & Drivers.
This is whether you pay cash or use EZPass, your license plates, vehicle and driver's face are all imaged.
The GSP takes that one further by having periodic scanners and cameras along the route.
Both the New York State Thruway & GSP are private roadway entities, managed by their own authorities.

OP
Those agencies and the police have zero chill and will set an example to prevent future blockages.

I don't think the NYS Thruway Authority or the NJ Turnpike Authority will give them any option.

The Trooper thing seems well-founded, esp. in NJ. They've had a lot of bad press over the years.

Agreed! They will get a strongly worded letter and that's all. Effin' troopers are Trump humpers!

I don't think they should escalate the situation, just fine them all $350

I agree. Hit them in their wallets/pockebooks because money is more important to them than anything
