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).

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.

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. |

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

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. |
