Big brother at its finest :-(

...Jim Thompson

The restriction on tinted windows in the UK is so surveilance and
speed camaras can get a clear picture of the driver.

I know. We have the same issue in AZ (*)

I'm open to suggestions as to how to make photo of driver or plate
impossible, yet pass a visual check.

If the picture is taken with a flash than install a flash or two near
the
licence plate, trigger on incoming flash and fire back and fire back.

Thought of that. Wonder what their aperture time is?

Also thought of "corner reflectors" like on bicycles.

How about my face ?:-)

To crack the camera?


Naaaah! That's what the Janet Napolitano mask is for.

But that's a driving distraction... limits peripheral vision.

At the speeds I drive I need a clear view ;-)

Come on, engineers, what's the solution ?:-)


Slave flash as someone already suggested.

In the UK Gatso cameras take 2 pictures at a timed interval to prove
distance travelled over the timed period, so you need 2 slave flashes, I'd
suggest sensing the recharge current from the first flash to enable the
second flash so they don't both go off on the first flash.

If both slaves flash on the first Gatso flash then the second flash gets
your number and they nick you for attempting to pervert the course of
justice.
