Oh wow, videos now! Watch them do a courtesy link to youtube for you as well in the future so you can share it w/ all ur friends!

BTW, the article states that the stuff you apply on your license plate doesn't do much, only on rare occasions might it actually help you distort 1 letter.

This is why I think replacing your rear license plate ligths with LED's is a dumb mod. No front plate (FL Tags) and tinted license plate cover to make it darker FTW. I plan on getting this plate to make everything even darker.

I think myth busters could of been lying. cause why would they say it works.. then everyone would do it.


also the camera they used as the "speed camera" is a $5000 nikon DSLR... if those are in every camera I need to go climb a few poles and steal them

seriously lol


things could work... but I doubt anyone would verify or tell such a major show about it

any veteran DC driver should know..whenever you see those hash marks on the road, SLAM on your brakes. They always mean theres a camera, since they use those marks to determine your speed. Also, Im pretty sure most of those cameras record video now, which is why those glossy sprays on your plate wont help. They'll only be glared if you take a picture of it with a flash, but not a video

Damn technology these days

10 years from now all cars will have devices that shut them off while you wait for the cop to show up with your ticket lol

You need to buy a non-reflective replica plate from this site below.

http://www.cr8apl8.com/


On top of your replica plate, figure out which plate cover works best to blur your plate out to those cameras depending on their height and angle without drawing to much attention from police cars.

Original Protecor:

Super Protector:

Overhead Protector:

Photo Blur:

You can avoid photo radar tickets with a Cheetah C100 or GPS mirror.

So I just got another one in the mail today. This one was only a warning. Apparently I was going 59 on an entrance ramp that was posted 45. But the highway is 55.... Im glad the second one was only a warning. That wouldve been an expensive trip to our nations capitol. I go to DC all the time and have never had these problems. they must have needed to spend some money last year.
