The use of traffic surveillance technology continues to
be more and more prevalent in intersections across the
country. You may be one of those individuals that resent the
fact that law enforcement has an almost unfair advantage.
With the use of red light photo cameras, law enforcement can
be omnipresent at an intersection at all times.
There is
however, a way to protect yourself from the all-seeing
camera eye. There are products on the market today that hide
your car plate number from red light cameras. One of the
most effective products is a spray that is manufactured by
PhantomPlate .
The
number plate spray
is called the PhotoBlocker™ Spray, and
it retails for $29.99. According to a study performed by the
FOX news, affiliate station in Denver, the spray is very
effective at masking your license plate number. Once the
spray is applied to your license plate, it creates a high
gloss finish that is undetectable to the naked eye. When the
flash from the red light photo camera is projected on to the
license plate, the reflection from the gloss causes the
photo to be overexposed. You can hear the entire streaming
media clip of the
PhotoBlocker™ Spray review
performed by the FOX news
affiliate when you visit their site.
Now that you know that there are ways to beat the system,
you may be wondering if hiding your license plate number
from traffic photo cameras is legal. An NBC news affiliate
station in Baltimore, MD reported that the use of the
PhotoBlocker™ Spray has not been outlawed anywhere. They also
reported that once the spray was applied, it would be
virtually impossible for law enforcement to detect. Other
methods of masking your license plate number such as the use
of slip-on plate covers have been outlawed in some areas of
Baltimore, and are much easier to detect. Your best bet is
to stick with the spray.
It is inevitable that technological advancements will
continue to affect our everyday lives. There are ways
however, to shield yourself from some of the adverse affects
they may have upon you. This product is one simple way that
you can protect yourself. If you are interested in
purchasing a can of the PhotoBlocker™ Spray, visit their
