There are multiple ways of "disabling" PlatePass in the west.
* Pay cash (if available)
* Pay on the website
* Use your own transponder

Yes, if you just drive through a transponder-only lane without doing any of these you're going to get charged for it. But try the same anywhere else in the country with the "TagShield" box closed and you're going to have exactly the same thing happen...
