Could this be used for photo speeding?

They basically use the same camera don't they?

I could definitely see this being used by producers of ghost hunting reality shows.

All you need for photo radar is a polarized plastic cover on your plates. It washes out the camera view when the flash goes off as the cameras use a polarized filter for glare. Hence two polarized filters makes for a black picture.

BTW, those IR hats will be a must for anyone dodging the law or creditors. Facial recognition software is becoming better all the time. Who will be using it next?

Heh, good ole tinfoil might do in a pinch :laughing7:

I had one of those waving hands - with three strategic fingers and one thumb missing - suction cupped to that big ol' step bumper. They have to get all the characters to make a charge stick (so the message was twofold)

Woof!

In Alberta you get a fine for putting those on, if I'm not mistaken they already make plate holders that have lights, I'm just not sure if they are LED's.

I'm also pretty sure covering them up with tin-foil would be noticed.
I've only had one ticket by photo but every parked van has me reaching for the brake and I watch the sides of the road way too much.

If you see the parked van, it's already too late. No flash ... no tickie. There's no law against driving a mud-coated vehicle....

Woof!

If it's a one-way you are coming up behind it so there is some reaction time available. I'm still waiting for a cruise control that can read posted speed signs and time the traffic lights properly LOL

Or, what works like a charm and is free... not speeding.
