I dont remember where I saw this but I know it was relatively recent...someone is making a license plate cover that only allows the tag to be read when you are looking at it from ground level and directly in front or behind it. All a traffic cam sees is a circle with a line thru it that says NO PHOTO. If I recall it was only like 12 bucks or so.

Dave last week we also saw them on I-10 and I-17 set up More dangerous since people would slam on the barkes and cause a wreck.......

I would love the cover that blocks to plate # if
A. it worked (according to Mith Busters it doesn't)
B. instead of No Photo it said F U
Guess that tells my opinion of traffic cams.
If they are just going to let cameras do all the work why are we paying taxes for traffic cops on the force? I would much rather be pulled over by a thinking breathing cop any day than some POS machine

The problem with the Mythbusters experiment was that it was rather rigged. They got a guy from the enforcement camera company to come out and participate in the tests. The camera they used wasn't ANYTHING like the camera that sits in the box (I'm pretty certain there's not a Canon Digital SLR camera sitting inside every one of those boxes) So I think in a way those tests were totally rigged, after all the guy that owns the camera company doesn't want his product to look ineffective and he sure doesn't want the general public knowing what countermeasures work since his company gets a cut from every ticket.

The police aren't catching these kids because odds are they'll stop on a side street a block away from the camera...attach the fakey plate...then run the camera. Afterwards they stop again on the nearest side street and remove the fakey plate. They've probably even got recon looking out for Holsteins.

A friend of mine got pulled over by the AZ State Patrol on 60 in Mesa, the trooper let him off if he would remove and surrender the clear plate cover that said friend installed to beat the photo radar. Apparently the trooper thought the palte cover worked.

I like the idea of the phony plate.They are threatening to install red light camera's here.
I know where the mayor parks his car at city hall. I would be E-Zed to snap a camera phone pic of his licence plate. Maybe someone could blow that pic up to actual size on their home computer.

So if they install red light cameras here, the mayor might be mysteriously be receiving a schmitload of tickets in his mail.
Of course I wouldn't encourage such activity, that would be illegal

i have to go a very long way just to see a red light, they dont have cameras yet but the police station is on that corner so its probably not the one to blast thru.
