How about the PhotoBlocker Spray?
That is illegible for the naked eyes. It is a clear spray that goes
over your plate and it reflects the flash back to the camera and what
you see on the picture is a bright reflected white image but not your
license number. Now we all know what this means. The police will have
no idea about your license plate number; as a result, there will be no
ticket that will rip you off. Isn't that a cool thing? I find it
amazing. Advertently, there is no law which says that your license
plate has to photogenic.

There ARE laws, however, that prohibit altering your plates, which this
obviously does....

Sounds like a scam, and probably spam as well.

Yeah, if you get caught obscuring your license plate, you're gonna
get fined.

Unbelievable would be the word I'm thinking.

Pretty global statement to make.

Really? I see many many cars with platic covers over the plates that
are intended to hide the plates from IR cameras at tollbooths. Too
many to believe that the police are stopping cars and giving tickets for it.
I see some that are so opaque that I can't read the plate when I'm driving
behind them!

I also see tons of pickup trucks with a trailer hitch that hides the
plates. Do these guys get tickets too?

And then there are the licence plate holders that hide the top and bottom
of the plate and you can't tell what state the vehicle is from.

So, I don't believe they ticket for obscuring plates at all!

I deal with the local cops frequently, and asked about those. They
won't pull people over for them, but if they pull someone over for
something else, they cite them for the license plate violation as well.
Much like the seat belt laws here (Wisconsin).

Yup.

I would think that'd be up to the officer and his confidence that the
judge wouldn't tell him to knock it off. A trailer hitch isn't designed
to block a license plate, where Super-Spammer's-Magic-Spray or a cover
is.

And then there are the licence plate holders that hide the top and bottom
of the plate and you can't tell what state the vehicle is from.

Well, my dad got pulled over by an over-zealous barney-fife type cop
because his renewal sticker wasn't visible from behind one of those
frames.

So, I don't believe they ticket for obscuring plates at all!

I suppose it depends. Usually the types who have the cover over the
plates aren't doing only one stupid thing at any given time.

Someday you will if you do it. Someday you will .. there's a freeway
onramp near here which has a carpool lane which gets a lot of cheating
going on to avoid the ramp metering. Someone complained to the paper
and said they *never* see any enforcement. The Washington State Patrol
responded that they'd written 56 tickets at that ramp in the previous
month.

Those guys work 3 shifts and you only work one. Break a traffic law
and sometime you'll get stopped for some CS thing and he won't feel
like writing you up for it and he'll look for anything. Smart guys
don't leave them anything to find. Like little blue glass dots in
their taillights, they look cool but they're illegal.

You must be young.

Now flashing colored lights on your car will get you pulled over pretty
quick (so I'm told by local police). This I believe because I don't
see any of them on the road. I hear that colored lights on the front
of your car tied to your turn signal are just asking for a ticket.
I hear that excessive tinted windows are another sure item.

You must be young.

Young and rich are both a matter of perspective.
I'm pushing 50, and I don't consider that young, but could be
considered young for a metalworker.

Wise move. No lights out, no busted anything. That way
if you ever are stopped, at least you look like you
care about what you drive.

My pickup has the plate folded over where the cattle stepped on it, and
then they **** all over it. I clean my truck but I don't clean the
state's licence plate, if they want it clean they can clean it
themselves!

It's one of those "Don't **** off the cop" rules. If you don't ****
off the cop somehow he'll let it slide because he has better things to
do. But if you rub him the wrong way and he's in the mood to harass
you, he can get you for it.
Good cops, anyway. Crummy ones will pull you over for all kinds of
crazy-assed reasons. A fried of mine got pulled over for having a
taillight crooked. Not out, not dim, just crooked.

pull me over and check my sobriety. Luckily, it was years after I quit
drinking.

Check your state laws.

Many years ago I got stopped by the local cops because my rear license plate
was obscured by mud. They were friendly enough about the violation but
insisted that it be cleaned off before allowing me to proceed. No ticket on
that one.

Most cops would be happy to recite a long
list of things people do that are illegal
and *usually* don't get tickets for.

You just have to ask yourself "do I feel
lucky"

Sure it's a cool thing-until one of the assholes who think they can run red
lights any time they want now to plows into you...

Here in southeast Michigan, traffic lights are mostly just a warning that an
intersection is near. If it aint a solid red by the time you get within 50
feet of it, go through.

100 feet in the case of left turn only lanes...

Thats a regular classic here in California, even today. I play a bit
of pool in bars, and while I dont drink, I may leave during the "drunk
hours" of midnite to 2am. Ive been stopped so many times with that
ploy, that I used ask them with a big smile if its Felony Trailer
Hitch? as I handed them the paper work. They know me now and dont
even look twice as I make my rounds.

When I was a cop a gazillion years ago, license plate lights was
usually good Probable Cause. In those days, it was not uncommon for
one to be burned out. Most folks assume that if the lp is illuminated
by at least one..its ok. Its not G
Bulbs are way better now days.

It really depends with your state laws. Here in Washington D.C you can
have a photoshield, reflector or any kind of license plate covers, but
in VA and MD you will be pulled over and get a warning or ticket for
doing that.

Once in the car with my 5 and 6 year old niece and nephew, we were
playing the fifty questions game.

What does a red light mean? "Stop"

What does a green light mean? "Go"

What about an amber light? "Uh, go fast?"
