Photo Buster Lic. Plate Covers and Spray's

Anyone know of any that really work. i saw Mythbusters and they put a few on and none of them really worked. My friend got a spray that says if you get the ticket they will pay for the ticket and refund the spray. another friend has an after market Front bumper and placed the lic plate in the front windshild making the glair on the glass block the camera. i talked to a Cop and he said that any plastic cover on you're plates is not legal and you must have a front and rear plate in the State of CA. i don't know about any other state.

OK GO..................

first of all the cameras we have here in moses lake on the street lights are always recording and as soon as you run a red light or speed through the intersection it snaps 2 pictures in a row then takes the correct time chunk of video of when you went through, they are all recording and taking pics from behind you not in front of you. they pull the pic of your rear license plate and watch the video to see if you actually did or didnt break any law. the senors (also for speed) are in the road so radar detectors and jammers are useless.

our traffic cams are through Redflex: http://www.redflex.com.au/html/usa/index.php
you will see what i mean when you look at the site. if you highlight washington you will see moses lake is one of the few cities to use redflex systems and it looks like alot of places use these in CA. I am network tech for the city and manage all of the patrol cars laptops and pd server, if you have any questions i might ask the chief of mlpd for ya.

Dude Redflex is Ripping People Off they make 85% of the ticket up to $4,500.00 then it 50-50 after that for EACH intersection! i am in the wrong Buisness

ya no kidding.., is redflex used in your area?

I don't really think those spray things would work, and that reflective cover might work, but meh, not sure. In AZ at least, there isn't a law saying you can't put a cover on your plates (in fact I've seen tinted plates. No problems.

Something I might be curious about, what about that 3M laptop screen privacy filter? Would that work?

we have those here too... i've never ran it, but my friends have lol.

my plates have covers on em, they shoot off alot of glare which makes um pretty much unreadable. thats the only pic i have loaded up to my pc but i have others that have the whole plate and u cant see a damn thing.

Do you break the law a lot? Why the need to conceal your license plate from cameras?

here in L.A. we have the redflex system and a few others and they shorten up the yellow on all of them and has caused more wrecks then saved lives. Watch this video if you have a cover or use a spray http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sVIg...eature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZINQC...eature=related more video you must see on this

How to Really Beat the camera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph-qv...eature=related But i don't think you can do this in an Aveo you have to be going over 170mph

get a hide away plate. problem solved.

Here in Arizona license plate covers are only illegal if they obstruct the veiw of the plate. There are two popular covers sold that are supposed to hide your plate from those cameras, one never works at all, and the other one has two magnified looking things, one on each side of the plate. You can see the plate from directly behind but not at a 45degree angle or around there. They are illegal, but do work sometimes. The sprays only work sometimes as well. Hell sometimes you get lucky and they can't get the plate even if you have nothing on it.

Here in Arizona within a few days of getting flashed they'll have it go through court already. They will send someone to your house to serve you, and if ANYONE answer the door (even the cleaning lady) you have been considered served and can't get out of it. However if you never answer the door or get served within 30 days they toss the charges. They come to your house at least once, but usually not more than 3x. I can't remember if they just mail something out to you after the first court date, then if you don't respond it goes to court again then they send someone to your house. If you get flashed I'd just let anyone that would possibly be in your house to not answer the door for anyone.

On a more conspiracy theory note:

There was a recent news study done that looked into the contracts from the manufacturers that provide the cameras to the cities. Apparently a lot of them include a quota (10 tickets/day, etc). So does that mean the city will intentionally shorten a yellow light so that they hit their quota and don't have to renegotiate their contract?

yeh i watched a news report about that. it was interesting. when a judge started to dismiss all the cases, the company that installed the cameras got all menstral and basically said hey, we have a contract, u need to get so many tickets a day cus we need to get paid! meanwhile, the city had already extended yellow light times and reported less infractions and accidents. so now the city agreed to up the amount of money it would pay the company per ticket issued. kind of lame, but...

like khan said, just stop at the light. then u wont have any worries.

I know for a fact that the Yellows have been shorten here is Los Angeles there is 3 camera's near my house and the yellows are only half as long as the lights that don't have camera's on top of that they issue tickes for turning on a red when it is clearly not marked as no turns on red. Yep big buisness making money hand over fist on the little guy.
