Default LASER + PHOTO RADAR License plate cover

Can someone tell me if there is anything that defeats the red light
cameras or speed cameras. I am getting fed up with these stupid camera
tickets that are absolutely unfair. I got one the other day for
driving 4mph above the speed limit. What do they call this safety or
ripping off? I need help.

Ripping off. Cover your plates with something that will screw it up.

Paintball gun.... Thou shalt not kill doesn't apply to a friggin ROBOT!


You are looking at someone who semi-beat it. I found the cameras in my area
were 0.1 second too short a yellow time beow the federal yellowlight
guidelines. I've therefore had tickets thrown out which I never should have
got to begin with. Look at your yellow duration. if it 2.9 seconds or lower,
the ticket is not even valid.

meanwhile, I tried that plate cover, but in my state, its illegal to obscure
the plate so I got a 50.00 ticket for that which I got out of because the
cop didnt show up. I then went to the spray, just to be safe, which sends
back so much freakin light from the flash that the camera blinds itself.

I now slam the brakes on at any sign of a yellow, and if I get ass-ended,
well, then I guess I havea suit fro the guy who hits me.

Another note, don't expect to use an ambulance as an excuse as to why you
moved through the intersection. I've seen tickets hold in that instance,
and I now don't move for ambulances.

Or, a well-placed ought six should do it. That, or a large
structural steel bumper with lots of reinforcement. Hehehe...

also, if you have GPS, you could download the locations of all the light
cameras, and run an alarm setup when you are near one as a reminder. I like
the mud idea too. Those cameras are indeed highway robbery...literally...

Just fight the ticket in court. Your local DA will probably dismiss
the charge when push comes to shove. First line of defense is to have
the camera in question impounded for calibration. This will remove the
income producing device temporarily at least. Since most folks just
mail in the fines and never question the machine its removal will
cause some consternation with the authorities. If the machine proves
to be as little as .1 mph off it may be assumed to be behaving
improperly. Chances are the DA would rather dismiss your one charge
than have to drop several hundred.

Now this impounding, I remember a speeding ticket case I was at, the
calibration on the radar gun was some tuning fork test, they did every
day. Aren't photo cops tested each day, or have an internal test that
could null your request for a calibration?

Unfortunately that is not true. It usually takes legislation to defeat
the red light camera.
