REVISITED: A speed camera can be beaten by a magnified cover. (From episode 72)
re-busted
The magnified cover failed to obscure the license plate.
(After the original episode viewers complained that the speed camera was mounted too low at 5 feet instead of 10 feet. For this episode the camera was mounted at 10 feet.)
REVISITED: A speed camera can be beaten by a reflective cover.

Pulled over twice, not for a license plate cover, but a license plate frame. Said I cant have anything that hinders the sight of the frame. They both also wanted to search my car...wtf? I declined, not because I have something to hide, but I had the feeling the frame was a good reason for them to pull me over to search the car.
