WATE,
Knoxville News Puts License Plate Spray To The
Test
February 21, 2005

KNOXVILLE
(WATE) -- In
about a year, the city of Knoxville will have
traffic cameras at busy intersections to help
catch motorists running red lights. But there's
a product that a company claims can help you
slip by the cameras.
A spray you
can put on your license plate is clear to the
naked eye but not to cameras.
It's legally for sale on the internet..

So I'm thinking this phantom
plate cover and special spray
is just good for avoiding getting nasty and
uncalled for red light tickets posted at random
intersections.
NO my friend...even though I wasn't speeding
in one instance..(or was I ?).A speed trap was
set up under a bridge. You should have seen
the cops face as he looked befuddled as to why
after aiming his photo radar whatever gun at
me..and getting NOTHING. HA. Boy did he feel
confident stepping out in front of my moving
vehicle only to just let me whiz by. Huh.
Second time on busy two way traffic in local
area....One female cop aimed a photo laser gun
standing next to a telephone pole (on the curb)...Then
another male cop 20-30 feet behind would signal
speeder to pull over. This one caught me by
surprise. All I know is, while it was too late
to change speed...This woman appeared in the
seconds I had observing her...Was trying to
thinker with her "gun." Another look
of disappointment or confusion on her face.
hehe.
Another
day of good work for captain phantom.

Hi Joe,
Just wanna let you know of the result of me
almost getting caught by a traffic-camera even
though I was using the PhotoBlockerTM...
I wrote to you awhile ago telling you that I
got a ticket. You asked for a copy of it. Well,
I never got it. I don't know if you are aware
of it, but in Norway, they use a lot of digital
cameras with flash alongside the roads. These
cameras operate in such a way that you can fool
it with PhotoBlockerTM
spray. It was amazing it was all overexposes
just the way PhotoBlockerTM
claims. "So, there's no number on the plate
- how do you know it's my car?"
I'll explain more. First, what happened to my
ticket?
They mailed me the ticket, noting that I could
come down to the station and check. I did. They
had this huge machine that showed the black
& white picture of the front of the car.
The plate was all white., I said.. "Oh",
the female cop said. "Check this!"
She turned a knob, and slowly the picture got
darker until you could somewhat make out the
characters on the tag... "Shit!",I
said silently to myself... "But you still
can’t tell what the numbers are. That
one could be an “8” or “0”"
and the other one, it cold be a “B”
or a “D”.” I said. "You
can’t do that. You can’t doctor
the image. You are tampering with evidence.
That is not admissible in the court of law.”
I added. She was dumfounded. I could tell she
was totally caught by surprise. "I will
have to get my supervisors.” she said
looking at me with disgust. "You better!
I replied”, confident that she didn't
know what to do.
I knew I was on to something. My brain was working
overtime. I knew they could not tamper with
the picture. All they did is make it blurry
enough to guess what the characters could be.
I knew I could beat them in court if they dared
to fine me. After a while she came back from
the back office and she said “You don’t
have to pay for it today. We will investigate
and get back to you with a decision.”
She said. I new I had made it.Long story, but
it’s been six months and I haven't heard
anything more from her, so I guess I'm off the
hook. I figured they dropped the charges. So,
the point is:PhotoBlockerTM
did what it was supposed to do. It over exposed
the image to the point where it was white. The
argument that you could look at the negative
of an overexposed image and read the tag number
is bogus. The inverse of an overexposed white
blob is a black blob and vice versa. Besides,
they can not ‘TAMPER WITH EVIDENSE’.
It won’t stand in court. They know that
and now we know it. Thanks guys. You have earned
a loyal customer. Keep up the good work.
Just to let you know.
Best
Regards
Ivan, Norway
