One Possible Way to Beat the Cameras

 

Try not running the light

Use your GPS to remind you where the cameras are located and never try to run the yellow light.

Works for me.

Life to short to be so rigid, and not to imagine having a little fun with such a prank.

licence plate paint

I have read about a clear paint that would make the license plate overexposed in the photo. looks just like a blank plate cool

Great!

Funny! I am so paranoid about red light cameras, I am afraid to turn right after stopping. If the camera doesn't recognize that I was stopped before making the turn, I am afraid of getting my picture taken. I hear some corners have video but, I don't know if all intersections have that feature.

Turn Right

I have a friend who turned right on red but instead of going from the right lane into the right lane turned into the center lane. Then went to court to fight the ticket and lost. The red light camara got him.

a buddy of mine ran into the same issue. couldn't get out of it. they said that you must treat any read light as a stop sign unless posted otherwise ...

Hold a magazine or clipboard

Great work by this Brit! All we need to do is hold a mag or clipboard. If they can't ID the person, it gets tossed. If EVERYBODY did this, it would make the entire illegal operation fail. More people need to STOP paying the tickets and start covering their faces. Especially on certain days. Maybe a redio station can can organize it. Speed and cover your face!

Cover Your Face?

Doesn't matter who is driving, if the vehicle is registered in your name you are the one who gets the ticket. Someone driving my vehicle turned on a red and I got the ticket, so how is this fair?

Try to get the enforcement changed...

In Beaverton, Oregon there was a huge court case over that. It was decided that, if the city was too lazy to enforce the laws in person (i.e. having an officer physically pull over the speeder/light runner) then they had to run the risk of losing the revenue when the ticket was issued over someone other then the registered owner driving. All the owner has to do now is walk into the courthouse with the ticket and a photo ID. Say, this isn't me, and they get it dropped.

Here's a link to a brief description of the issue that was raised;

Maybe you can take it to court and defend yourself...Heck...You might even be able to get the ball rolling for something like what Beaverton had to do.

Not a good idea

If you cover your plate a police crusier will stop you to check you out and maybe a citation.

A muppet?

Thats not a muppet, thats my former wifes new husband!

I tried it. Seemed to work OK when I did a test with a digital camera. My wife got a ticket a few weeks ago so I have to give it a thumbs down.

...beat the cameras

My California license plate was white until I put that useless stuff on. Now it's a dingy yellow and the spray varnish is partly peeling off. I don't know if it worked or not but I feel like I was dumb for buying it and spraying it on. There is a plastic license plate cover that distorts one or two digits of a plate but one can see that it's there if one knows what to look for and I'd hate to try to explain it to the Highway Patrol or to the police.

I think the stuff actually does have an effect. Like I said, it tested pretty well with my digital camera. It may be flash or angle dependent though.

Interesting

There are serious fines in MD if you get caught using such materials.

If . . .

your plate has mud splattered on it, then how can that be construed as covering your plate. This incident could be a naturally occuring phenomena. "Oh, I did not know my plate was covered with mud, Officer. I will go to the closest car wash and wash the mud from my plate."

Myth Busters . . .

has proved that the clear coating over your license plate does not work.

A better mouse trap

The state, the cities, the counties are finding ways to increasing revenues on traffic fines by putting more cams, more police radars, and unmanned traffic radar checks. I can see that in the future we are going to be connected to the police central computer and every time we speed or run a light they send a ticket, this is the BIG BROTHER mentality. They say revenues are not enough, I tell them stop making contracts that are over the value that should be. Paying under the table and over paid executives are to blame to.
