Yes, having your plate registered is vital in order to avoid some of the outrageous violation fees they are charging. However, they also started to charge "Tolls by Mail" rate for toll, when your plate is read, rather than the tag. And since they have the pictures of your windshield, and if the tag is not visibly mounted in the expected spot, the claim is - your tag was improperly installed - hence higher fee. I used to keep the tag in the little cubby to the left of the steering wheel, and only take it out and placing it on the dash when going through tolls - not any more.
Do yourself a favor (especially in NYC), and take away any possible reasons they could have to charge you fees and penalties.
