photoblockers for traffic camera

WolfsFang 08-21-2012 05:09 PM

that stuff never works and i laugh when i see people using them.

tnt 08-21-2012 05:11 PM

:thanks: I've seen mixed reviews

Plus keep in mind that many systems today use a video camera that is just constantly recording without the need for a flash (thus making the spray on stuff useless even if it did work).

what r we talking about here?

It's a product that you spray on your license plate that claims to reflect traffic camera flashes so that your license plate isn't legible in the traffic camera photo.

FT-86GOD 08-21-2012 09:53 PM

ow yeah...... i remember the rumours... was all bullsh*t in the end apparently... same as the plastic things u put over the plates that supposedly did the same thing...

wankers must have made a killing....

oh crap really ? they use a video camera .... didn't know that.

Yep. Modern light and speed cameras are HD quality and running all the time (video not still pictures.) The flashes you see are used to supplement light at night time.

These products used to work on the older cameras that were infared. They are now useless.

Might as well just take your plates off if youre going to go hooning around

Or you can invest in paintball guns and engage in some target practice :bellyroll:...speed/redlight cameras are just revenue streams...they don't really make anything safer

I know that little Timmy o'Tool feels much safer now when he's ball goes flying out into the middle of the road and proceeds to fetch it, with the knowledge that my head will be bearded in my speedometer and that I am doing the speed limit when I hit him. I think one of us should be watching the road, know?

Yea, cellophane used to work, created a glare when it took your picture. Not now with the new video cameras though.

It's B.S. My buddy got a $40 ticket for doing 60 in a 55 (construction zone). No cop would even think about wasting gas for that ticket.
