Drivers Battle 'Spying' Police
11/22/2006 10:20:47 PM
As soon as police employ new technologies to catch speeders, companies devise new ways for speeders to foil the cops. One of the newest uses of technology for police are cameras designed to take pictures of the license plate numbers of speeding vehicles. One of the newest countermeasures: A spray-on film, PhotoBlockerâ„¢ Spray, makes plates unreadable to the speed cameras. And so it goes. "It's like the arms race," Bill Johnson, executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations in Washington, D.C., told The Wall Street Journal. "First police came up with radar, then there were radar detectors. Police came out with lasers, then companies came up with laser detectors." Not all of the devices are high-tech. In fact, some rank very low on the technology scale, but are effective nonetheless. One product, sold by: http://www.PhotoBlocker.com is a $30 can of PhotoBlocker Spray manufactured by PhantomPlate, Inc. that makes license plates so reflective it causes too much glare when a traffic camera flashes, thereby ruining the image. An unreadable tag results in issuance of NO ticket. It is a high-gloss clear reflective finish that you spray on your license plate. It is virtually undetectable to the naked eye. It causes no distortion and only fools the cameras. It is simple, ingenious and 100% legal to buy. The makers of these products say they aren't trying to aid and abet lawbreakers. Rather, they say they are simply trying to provide tools to otherwise law-abiding people who are being victimized by red light cameras in use mostly to increase revenue for cities and municipalities. Over 1.5 billion dollars in fines are collected from unsuspecting motorist motorists. If you are one of the unlucky ones you may just have a ticket waiting for you in your mail b ox. No wonders the makers say their sales are booming in the interim. PhantomPlate, for instance, says the company has sold over 500,000 bottles in the past few years. Drivers are buying it and independent tests conducted by NBC, ABC, CBS news and The Washington Post show the product does work as advertised. Luv Ya, Sweetgrame :-) http://www.sweetgrame.com
