Camera-beaters
illegal
Monday,
January
6th,
2003
Here's
a
sample
of
devices
to
thwart
photo
enforcement.
Be
warned,
though:
Such
contraptions
are
illegal
in
Manitoba.
The
penalty
for
obstructing
a
licence
plate
is
$45.
1)
The
Loover:
It's
like
a
little
vertical
blind
for
your
plates.
It
blocks
the
view
so
cameras
cannot
see
the
plate
from
an
elevated
position.
However,
police
driving
behind
someone
have
an
unobstructed
view
from
all
sides
of
a
vehicle.
Cost:
$19.99
US
(plus
$8.99
shipping).

2)
Photo
Blocker:
A
fast
spray-on
formula,
it's
easily
applied
in
minutes
and
aims
to
reflect
photo-radar
flash.
It's
supposedly
invisible
to
the
naked
eye
and
works
best
with
a
Photoshield.
Cost:
$29.99
US
(16-ounce
can).
3)
The
Reflector:
Made
with
"space-age
technology,"
it
reflects
photo-radar
flash.
It's
a
"high-quality"
plastic
cover
with
light-reflecting
silver
coating.
Cost:
$19.99
US.
