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????
