The verdict is in; The
PhotoBlocker IS effective. "It is no scam ... several companies these days market products that claim to legally blind those automatic cameras. The question is do they really work? Fox 5’s Michael Gargiulo puts them to the test ... the red light cameras are credited with snapping up an extra $20 million in fines for the city ... spurring some to try inventive ways of beating the system ... products that actually claim to out smart the cameras ... Will they make your tag invisible? ... Denver police department agreed to put them to the test. They examined a total of three products. Did they work? Here is a photo form the test drive. The first plate cover looks like a prism (PhotoShield) and it is supposed to distort plate numbers when it viewed form an angle. It fared well. Notice some of the plate numbers are invisible. The second plate cover, the Reflector has reflective sparkles and it did a better job. The flash reflected off the sparkles so the plate number was way over exposed in the picture. Now the third product is that PhotoBlocker spray ... that is surprisingly effective. It puts a high gloss finish on your plate. Which causes a reflection. That makes the plate over exposed and unreadable .... The question is." Is it legal?" ... It is practically impossible for police to spot plates that have been treated with the reflective spray. And in many jurisdiction there is no specific rule that says your tag must be photogenic." And what does Denver Police department have to say .... " What we did is we
went out to the Denver Police driving track and we set up a simulated a 20
mile an hour speed limit ... These products may increase your odds ..." on
avoiding a ticket. |

June 23, 2003 It's the latest tool to help drivers break the law and get away with it and police are not amused. The product is called "PhotoBlocker." When the clear spray is applied to license plates, it creates a glossy finish and reflects a photo radar flash so the numbers become fuzzy or washed out to red light and photo radar cameras, the manufacturer says. The effect is similar to taking a flash photograph of yourself in front of a mirror. The product's slogan is "Don't let them take your cash in a flash." "It's marketed in a way to defeat the tools that we put in place for traffic safety, and in that case, I say it shouldn't be on the market at all," said Illinois State Patrol's Norman Martin. The entrepreneurs at PhantomPlate said that they're not encouraging motorists to break the law, they want to thwart Big Brother. Right now, "PhotoBlocker" is perfectly legal but some states are working to change
that. The company also sells a plastic plate cover that makes also reading
the plate difficult.
