Speed Trap protaction

Couple years ago i saw a product that you put on your car number,
and when you get the "flash" because of speeding it flashes back
and the camera cant picture your car number.

It looks like an ordenary frame for the number with a 2x1 c"m square wich is the flash.

If someone have this site or other information I"ll be glad to get it.

tnx ahead

No.
What you showed is dont give the police man to read tour speed by the radar.

What i mean that if you have otomatic camera that take a pictuer when you over speeding. usually on highways, the flash on the frame dont give the camera see your number.

the product have 0 infkuense on cups with laser.

I think you're referring to this…

http://www.photoblocker.com/www/index.html

I've always wondered if it works. (For the record, I'm against people who recklessly run red lights—I see it in Manhattan often—and I support red light cameras calibrated to catch that kind of driver. But as most of you are aware, many red light camera systems are calibrated not to stop scofflaws, but to generate revenue—by making the "yellow light" so short that even responsible drivers are nailed.)

I painted my license plate with photblocker spray and tested it with a camera. If you use a flash even off angle, it really drowns the plate out as it is supposed to. Without a flash however you can see it just fine. Most speed cameras do not use a flash which makes it worthless.

Any product that flashes back after seeing a flash will be too slow. By the time it flashes, the picture will already have been taken.

Here is Scottsdale AZ, they are using speed enforcement cameras on the Loop 101. The speed limit is 65, and the cameras nail you at 76+. I think that it is pretty reasonable, considering that they give you tons of warning about the locations of the cameras. Its a 160 dollar ticket if you get caught, and since they turned them back on in late Feb they have caught thousands of people! Even the occasional jackass going 100+ while flipping off the camera

Your best bet is go to HPDE.

It's alot chaeper than a ticket.

It's safer.

It's more fun.

You learn something.

Just go 170+ mph everywhere you go. It worked for the Top Gear d00ds.

I actually know exactly what you're talking about. I saw a demonstration of it when I was at SEMA. It worked well in the demo I saw. What it does is detects the flash from a speed camera and sets off a flash at the same time on your license plate which basically makes the picture too white to read the plate. In the demonstration, they would take a flash picture of a license plate with the flasher on it and when they showed you the picture the plate just looked white from the second flash.

Here is the link to what I saw: http://www.sema.org/main/semaorghome.aspx?id=53911

You mean the photo blocker spray or the flash plates?
