speed cameras?

Think it would work on speed cameras? I would hate to be a beta tester and have to keep sending the unit back in for adjustments in timing. In any event, strobe lights shining to the rear are regulated by federal equipment laws so they're probably illegal from that standpoint.

So? Don't get caught. We use red light camera files, radar detectors and so on. Now we have a flash strobe or whatever you wanna call it. Illegal or not, if we didn't speed we wouldn't need these things.

Will be made illegal VERY quickly

I expect that--even though red-light and speed cameras are outright illegal in my state--these things are going to become illegal soon for one simple reason...it's going to interfere with a source of revenue.

Specifically, one of the more common non-EZ-Pass systems for tolling seems to be "photo tolling"--that is, cameras take a picture of your license plate, look up license and registration, and send you a bill. (EZ-Pass states typically already do this for fines for toll violations, the feasibility of rolling this out across EZ-Pass states is apparently being tested (http://www.tollroadsnews.com/node/4297), and a number of toll systems--including Colorado's E-470, the toll portion of Ontario 407, and several proposed Ohio River bridges built by Kentucky--already operate on this basis. In areas that have both "photo tolling" and EZ-Pass-like systems, the transponder just gets you a discount.)

A LOT of the "bust red light cameras" products are also sold to defeat "photo tolling", and even in states without red-light and/or speed cameras there's still likely to be a ban because it interferes with "photo tolling" billing (interestingly, at least one state--Kentucky--does explicitly ban red-light and speed cameras yet has proposed photo tolling as the primary system for the new Ohio River bridges serving Louisville; Kentucky at present doesn't do any form of electronic tolling, seeing as there are laws mandating that tolls be removed when the construction bond is paid off and no Kentucky parkway has had tolls since 2006).

Will be made illegal VERY quickly

All irrelevant. We Humans by nature, don't like most things dubbed "illegal" or "You can't do that" It generally means some one benefits and others do not.
If you did what sometimes the Government does, you'd end up behind bars. Some one will always find a work around, and some one will always run with it.

This has worked for me in MD

I have the ZR4 installed in my car, and have passed a few speed cameras set up with laser in MD. As I was driving by, my detector went off (9500ix) and I kept on at speed, with my shifters shifting. Checked my mirrors, no flash of light smile

Anyone into photography

knows about remote flash triggers sold at any camera shop,
I don't see the need for a microprocessor or a $350 price tag. Just saying.

big brother

We are being supervised by systems that not sleep and does not give leniency. If the politics had the same system to supervise them and punish them for the lack of truth. Safety is important but not compromise the system to punish unfair its users.

knows they are called slaves, I attach my Nikon to one umbrella and once the main flash goes off the slave on the other flashes fire simultaneously.

In nearly all cases they

In nearly all cases they will not work and will never work in daylight. It is only good for the side mounted cameras that flash, the straight on camera that is part of a RLC won't be affected by the flash. These flashers have been around for awhile and are just trying to suck peoples money out of their pockets. Also, the newer license plates are now less reflective (at least here in Georgia) and therefore are less reactive to flashes.

Why not just buy

a car like Justin Beaver ?? smile

Does Not Compute

The "Beaver" can afford to hire Paul Prudhome and Wolfgang Puck as dueling personal chefs, yet patronizes the drive-thru? Further proof that bad taste is timeless.

And a chromium car is just out and out wrong. wink

Won't take long for these to be banned too...

Won't take long for the flasher frames to be banned too, in most cases found to be non-compliant with existing laws, since it looks to me like the frame overlaps the sides of the plate (even though it doesn't cover the letters/numbers), covering any part of the plate will be enough to apply existing laws to it.

In Illinois, there are so many rusted license plates, expensive gadgets are not needed.
