Amazon stopped selling devices that block license plates from toll readers and speed cameras to New York State addresses following an MTA announcement late last month, reports Gothamist

“Together with the mayor, we actually convinced Amazon to stop selling devices that allow people to mask and hide their license plates,” MTA Chairman Janno Lieber said on September 15.

The world's largest online retailer has stopped shipping camera blockers and license plate covers in New York State. Last month, Mayor Eric Adams announced that his office was partnering with Amazon to stop ghost cars. And declassify vehicles with illegal and fake license plates. Now, when trying to add such an item to the cart, an automatic notification appears, warning that it cannot be shipped to New York.

In January, a law was passed banning the sale of license plate covers to all New Yorkers.
