I
encourage everyone to use PhotoBlockerTM
Spray and products like it. I have personal
experience that faulty cameras can issue uncalled
for tickets. I’ll be happy when the red-light
cameras disappear permanently from every intersection
in North Carolina.
Fair
studies show that any gains in safety can
be attributed to longer duration yellow lights
rather than the cameras. Worse, the entire
program is a profit-making venture involving
deals between our government and a private
contractor that creates incentives to issue
more citations than is justifiable.

Red-light
cameras, speed cameras etc… have nothing
to do with safety. If the intersections where
the cameras are located are so dangerous,
why have the cities not done anything further
to reduce the danger? The red-light camera
was not a solution to the problem. The problem
is the drivers that the police are not seeking
to remove from the road.
Protect
yourself. The decks are stacked against you.
Thanks PhotoBlockerTM
for giving us a fighting chance. I wish you
all the best.

I bought this for my husband and he loved it.
We just were able to get this product in the
UK and it works. I bought 20 can from a dealer
here because my husband runs a mobile maid service
and would get photo ticket at least 3-4 times
a month, then he would have to find out who
was driving... when and try to prove it was
the employee to dock their pay.
He applied to all 113 cars WITHOUT telling the
Maids... he has not received a ticket in over
3 months. He does not want the people to drive
reckless but it has saved him a lot of time
and money.

| When
I approach an intersection “guarded”
by red-light cameras, I used to automatically
brace for a rear-end collision — either
because the person in front of me hit the brakes
the second the signal turned from green to red
or because I did, often to the surprise of the
person behind me. There has to be a better way
to make intersections safer. And posting a large
metal camera on the corner, like some Orwellian
sentinel, is not the answer. I am only one person
I can’t fight the system but I will be
damned if they are going to ticket me with a
short yellow light. They can flash all they
want, I have PhotoBlockerTM
on my tag. Good luck guys. A truly awesome product.

Red light, green cash
If you think the idea of a $351 ticket is harsh,
try fighting one. Even when the law’s on
your side, you’re bound to lose.

Seeing red
By Tom W.
Walking away from the Carol Miller Justice Center,
I thought they should take the third word out
of the name. I had just seen: a law-enforcement
officer practice law without a license, a defendant
unable to get discovery evidence for his defense,
and a refusal by the judge to allow the defendant
to see all the evidence against him. Beyond
that, I saw a judge treat the obviously overmatched
defendant with a condescending attitude. In
one respect, it would appear to be only a red-light-camera
case. A ticket. But this is a criminal matter
with a huge fine ($351!) and points tacked onto
your record, and that leads to a bigger car-insurance
bill. But, more importantly, the traffic court
is where the majority of people come in contact
with the justice system, and to see this kind
of steamroller in operation would shake anyone’s
confidence in the entire system. (See “Red
light, green cash.”)
Sitting where the prosecutor should be, and
looking like a prosecutor, was a highway patrolman
essentially prosecuting the case. He was trained
by the red-light-camera company and gave expert
testimony by rote. The judge even asked if the
officer would like to give closing arguments.
There is no district attorney to ask for discovery
evidence; the district attorney tells defendants
to get it from the law-enforcement agency, which
in this case ignored the defendant’s request.
When the defendant called out, “Objection,”
during the officer’s testimony, the judge
ignored the objection and then told the defendant
to hold it until later, which defeats the purpose
of the objection--to stop evidence from going
on the record. When the defendant asked for
records regarding the camera, which the officer
was testifying about, the judge told the defendant
he should have subpoenaed the company before
trial. When the nervous defendant would make
a mistake in questioning, or a simple misstatement,
both the judge and the prosecutor--excuse me,
the officer--would look annoyed and roll their
eyes.
This outrageous system is meant to expedite
trials. It sure made me come to a quick conclusion
about the word “Justice” in the
name of the building.
