Beat red light cameras once and for all. Make Your Car Invisible To Police Speed Cameras With Our License Plate Cover, PhotoBlocker Spray, Radar Detectors, GPS, GPS Camera Detectors.
A majority of red light & speed cameras utilize strong flash to photograph the license plate on your car. Once sprayed on your license plate, PhotoBlocker's special formula produces a high-powered gloss that reflects the flash back towards the camera. This overexposes the image of your license plate, rendering the picture unreadable. With PhotoBlocker, your license plate is invisible to traffic cameras yet completely legible to the naked eye.
As much driving as I do, this might be just the ticket...err, uh...thing. No tickets for me please.
Photoblocker is a website that sells products designed to protect drivers from traffic cameras, speed traps, and red light cameras. They have two basic lines of products.

PhotoShield review
Price - $25
Basics
The PhotoShield is a license plate cover that distorts the numbers of your licens plate if you look at it from the side or above. From straight on it appears to be a run of the mill license plate cover. The idea is that red light cameras and speed trap cameras, which are usually situated above or to the side of the road can't take a clear picture of a license plate, therefore making it impossible to get a ticket.
How I Tested It
Obviously I wasn't going to slap it on and intentionally run red lights to see if I'd get tickets. So what I did is install the PhotoShield on my license plate, then took looked at my license plate to see if it really became illegible.
Pro's
The PhotoShield really distorts the numbers and letters on any license plate when looked at from the side or above. I can see why the creators claim that it will stop 90% of all speed trap or red light tickets.
Con's
The PhotoShield has some drawbacks, though. It can't protect against all red light or speed trap cameras. If the camera is situated at the right angle, then you'll get nailed all the same. I also didn't like the fact that it always distorts your plate. It could cause some potential grief from cops. The law says that your license plate has to be clearly visible from the naked eye. This isn't always the case if you look at a plate covered with a PhotoShield from the side.
Overview
I honestly wouldn't recomment the PhotoShield. It seems to be a little unpractical. Instead, I'd recommend PhantomPlate Reflector Cover or PhantomPlate Reflector Cover. They seem to be more effective and practical to me.

Photo Blocker Spray
Price - $30
The Basics
PhotoBlocker Spray is a simple concept. Spray a coat of clear, but highly reflective chemical on your license plate. When a traffic camera, red light camera, or speed trap camera takes a picture of your car, its flash reflects off the spray on your plate, making your license plate illegible, therefore making it impossible to get a ticket. Sounds pretty neat. I decided to buy the spray and give it a test.
How I Tested It
Obviously I wasn't going to spray it on and intentionally run red lights to see if I'd get tickets. So what I did is spray PhotoBlocker Spray on my license plate, then took pictures with a digital camera and flash to see if my license plate really became illegible.
Pro's
PhotoBlocker Spray really works. It took me about 3-4 thick coats of spray before it started working well, but once it did I couldn't read a single picture that I took. One can was actually enough for about 2 or 3 license plates, so you don't have to buy one for every car. The $30 that it costed for a can seemed to be a fair price to me.
Con's
PhotoBlocker Spray did have a couple of drawbacks. If you hold a heavily sprayed license plate at the right angle in bright sunlight then it puts off a lot of glare. The law says that license plates have to be visible to the naked eye. If the sun is bright enough and if a cop is standing at the right angle, then it could possibly cost you a ticket. Kind of far fetched, buy I think it's possible.
Overview
I'd recommend PhotoBlocker Spray to anyone who wants to feel safe from faulty red light, speed trap, and traffic cameras. I don't believe that it should be used irresponsibly (don't buy it as an excuse to run red lights), but it could save someone a lot of grief.

Reflector Cover Review
Price - $20
The Basics
PhantomPlate Reflector Cover is basically the same concept as PhotoBlocker Spray. Instead of spraying on a coat of clear, but highly reflective chemical on your license plate, you just buy a license plate cover that is really a highly reflective sheet of the same chemical. When a traffic camera, red light camera, or speed trap camera takes a picture of your car, its flash reflects off the cover on your plate, making your license plate illegible, therefore making it impossible to get a ticket. I decided to buy it and give it a test.

Pro's
PhantomPlate Reflector Cover really works. I couldn't read a single picture that I took. I also like the fact that you can take the cover off and put it on a different car. Something that PhotoBlocker Spray obviously can't do.
Con's
PhantomPlate Reflector Cover did have a couple of drawbacks. If you hold a covered license plate at the right angle in bright sunlight then it puts off a lot of glare. The law says that license plates have to be visible to the naked eye. If the sun is bright enough and if a cop is standing at the right angle, then it could possibly cost you a ticket. Kind of far fetched, buy I think it's possible. I also think that PhotoBlocker Spray has an advantage in that one can of spray covers up to 3 license plates whereas one cover only covers one plate. For two thirds the price you get one third the coverage.
Overview
I'd recommend PhantomPlate Reflector Cover to anyone who wants to feel safe from faulty red light, speed trap, and traffic cameras. I don't believe that it should be used irresponsibly (don't buy it as an excuse to run red lights), but it could save someone a lot of grief.

I would recommend keeping to the speed limit, obeying all traffic laws and spray this stuff on anyway, can’t hurt to be more protected, especially if you can’t see it on the plate. Its worth a shot.

I saw it on the news one night and the police seemed really concerned about it.
I’m sure it works most of the time, but who knows.

Of course it doesn't work and the technology to compensate for such a "device" would render it worthless in a very short matter of time.
Here's an idea though, that does work: If you don't want a ticket, then don't run red lights and don't speed and then you have no issue.
This is the kind of crap that condones illegal behavior by morons who end up costing innocent people their lives by acting irresponsibly and negligently.
Read up on the stats of deaths caused by red light runners and speeders. It's very sobering.

Read up on the statistics and you will find several studies that prove that intersections with photo enforced radar actually show an increase in accident rates. The problem that I have with these cameras is that they are owned and operated by a private company that profits from fining the general public. Does this mean that I can purchase a radar gun and start clocking traffic and issuing fines payable to me. Where do you want to draw the line?
In Gwinnett County Georgia , they have adjusted the “yellow” time on the lights in conjunction with the installation of these cameras. A private company is installing over 150 cameras in our county and has offered to split the revenue with the county and city. The first camera they installed as a demo produced over $150,000.00 in fines in one weekend. The intersection tested is known for traffic congestion and traffic jams not for reckless drivers sailing through the red light at a high rate of speed. Keep on believing the “safety” angle, it’s about profits plain and simple.

Read up on the stats yourself and you will find that running red lights is extremely dangerous, but that speeding can even be safer than driving the limit in certain circumstances & rarely the primarily accident cause at other times.

There are alot more positive videos to support that it works compared to the product failing. Mythbuster's cannot use the exact camera used on the "red light cameras" so they decided to use a high quality digital camera. Ofcourse it will take different shots in the day because Mythbuster's cameras doesn't use a 500 watt bulb to make sure the shot comes out but instead their camera will use what's needed to make the picture clear.
Redlight cameras uses a 500 watt bul and there's a 50/50 chance in the day that it might catch the plate but if these cameras were taking these shots at night it would be a different story. I've purchased the photoblocker myself and have been flashed by these cameras a few times after having the product. it's been over 4 months and I have not received any tickets in the mail so I'm pretty sure it works. The tickets in my town runs $190's a shot and it's usually sent in the mail within 4-6 weeks after the shot was taken.
After applying the product 4 times on my rear plate I took a picture with my standard $200 digital camera and it came out overexposured so imagine a 50 watt flash hitting your plate while crossing the red lights......do you think you'll get a ticket????

umm hello..mythbusters is a show.. do you believe everything you see on tv?? NO! i have done the research and i know exactly what the stats are.. so before you go calling everybody who is against the traffic lights morons.. do some research and know what you're talking about before opening you mouth..
