Phantom Plates Stop Red Light Tickets

Smile: You're on Photo Radar Camera

Unsuspecting drivers are getting surprise traffic tickets in the mail,
and many believe they are an innocent victim of a faulty automated
machine. Those drivers do not question the concept of a hidden camera,
just whether the camera can be considered accurate.

Washington (PRWEB) October 8, 2004 -- Unsuspecting victims of the
"Candid Camera" television show smile when they are caught, but these
victims of hidden traffic cameras have nothing to smile about.

Motorists sent tickets by mail for traffic violations along with a
photo of their vehicle say it is more like "big brother is watching"
than "Candid Camera." Critics say the need for added revenue has
motivated municipalities all around the world to purchase automated
photo radar units that take pictures of speeding cars without the need
for a police officer to operate the unit.

More and more drivers are claiming that they are getting "Photo Cop"
tickets unfairly because they were not actually speeding, or going
through a red light. They claim the camera is not functioning
correctly.

Despite faulty cameras that have cost municipalities millions in
damages, most police departments are undaunted by the complaints, and
they continue to put more of the units into use. Although they claim
they are motivated by safety and not revenue, it is hard for
disaffected motorists to see it that way.

PhotoBlocker (tm) spray, available at local auto supply stores and
on-line at www.PhantomPlate.com, provides motorists a simple form of
defense against faulty cameras.

PhotoBlocker (tm) is easily sprayed on a license plate. It works on
plates from any state or any country. The spray appears clear to the
naked eye, so the registration plate can be seen clearly by police
officers. However, when a photo radar camera takes a flash picture of
the plate the spray causes a bright reflection making the registration
number too difficult to read.

"When they can't see your plate they can't send you a ticket in the
mail," explains Joe Scott, marketing director for PhantomPlate, Inc.,
the firm that makes PhotoBlocker (tm).

The spray is not intended to enable people to run traffic lights and
break speed limits. It does enable law abiding drivers who are
unfairly ticketed to have a way to prevent those unjustified tickets.

"A police officer has the ability to use his human judgment and
evaluate whether a ticket is justified for someone who may be showing
up on radar just a small amount over the limit. The officer knows that
a speedometer may be slightly off, the radar unit may be slightly off,
and so he targets the speeders who are excessively over the limit and
a genuine danger to us all," said Scott.

A computerized traffic camera just takes pictures and sends out
tickets. It not only lacks human good sense, it can easily
malfunction.

Numerous tests by news organizations and police themselves shows
PhotoBlocker to be effective in preventing a Photo Radar image from
being legible. At the present time there are no specific laws against
the spray.

PhotoBlocker has been featured in news stories by the Washington Post,
NBC, CBS, ABC News, Tech TV, Norwegian TV, Dutch TV, Washington Times,
UK's Daily Mail, NewsMax.com and many, many more. To date conclusive
tests have been conducted by the Denver Police Dept., Dutch Police,
Fox News, Swedish TV, Australian TV, and British TV.

The company offers a money-back guaranty, but to date less than one
half of one percent of all customers have requested a refund,
according to Scott.

Testimonials from happy customers abound on the company's website at
www.PhantomPlate.com.

Although most of the whining here is all bull**** there is a camera
here that has been taken out of action.
It caught so many people speeding there was an uproar.
The speed limit was only 50km/h(~30mph) even though the raod was 6
lanes and divided. The limit was unposted and one block after the
camera there is a sign posted at 60 km/h (36mph).
The City is now considering that they should raise the speed limit and
they have taken the camera out of service.

Look you thick **** just **** off alroit? That GATSO camera's and equivalent ilk CAUSE
accidents...They are NOT 100% accurate. AAMOF for those of you who think like this plodder. Let
me educate you stupid, inbreed, mouth breathing, pimple popping, NASCAR watching, ****ty beer
drinking American scum suckers on something.
High Speed is not dangerous, no it the incompetent ****wits like yourselves who can't drive
and create speed differentials between vehicles that cause most multi-vehicle accidents. Now I
don't expect you to believe a bit of this because I know that you are a bunch of stupid louts
that couldn't **** in a bucket with a map a mirror, both hands and written instruction. Matter
of fact...the biggest bunch of brainless drooling morons I've ever met all drive cars. Well
that's not fair, to brainless drooling morons to compare them to people like the op and 99% of
all cagers are NOT smart enough to be considered drooling morons and if I had my way the lot
of you would be spayed and neutered.


I'll just plonk the lot of you. (rec.autos.4x4,rec.autos.sport.nascar,rec.autos.driving)

that is what speed limits are for...to keep traffic flow relative...so in "real
world" driving it is the dumb****s that think they can do whatever they want
that cause the accidents...are you the ****face doing 95 while the flow of
traffic(proven safest speed) is doing 70?...if so do us all a favor and
complete the inevitible ****up now that will rid us of your wrecklessness...i
reccomend a concrete overpass....

Sorry,

Red Light Cameras are NOT 100 percent accurate.

There have been many studies that indicate the yellow lights are
purposely time-shortened to trigger the camera so that counties can
then charge hefty fines and build revenue.

Usually there is a time space of around three seconds from green to
yellow, but people fighting these can prove that the times may be as
low as 2 seconds.

This is unfair.

it could be ten minutes from yellow to red and it would not matter to me...in
my locallity if you do not enter the intersection on red you are okay, and not
guilty...if the light turns red and triggers the camara and your car is *past*
the stop limit line you are not "running' the light...

Just a bit of advice, trying to reason with someone who calls themself
"Laura Bush murdered her boyfriend," is like trying to reason with a
brick wall.

My appologies to all the brick walls that may have been offended by that
comment.

That's okay...most of the ones in Rec.Motorcycle know when you are referring to them. Even then
it might not bother me... ;^)

Note the terminology "when a photo radar camera takes a flash
picture".

Most modern speed cameras (as they are called here) only use a
flash at night or when ambient light is low. Most of the time
they are used without a flash.

This simply means that most of the time this product won't
work...

At an intersection where I live, rear-end collisions have skyrocketed ever
since they put in the red-light camera. People are seeing a yellow light,
and standing on the brakes, rather than safely cross the intersection on
the yellow. People are dead afraid of being caught by it.

Why don't you losers just obey the traffic control lights and posted speed
limits and all of this becomes a non issue.
You are a bunch of dim witted morons.

Can't speak about traffic lights, since I tend to be more than
cautious around them due to the number of brain dead cagers who run
them without a second look while yacking on the cell phones and
scolding the little poop machines in the back seat.

Posted speed limits are an issue that depends on whether or not they
are accurately posted (iaw dot standards that means at the speed in
which 85% of the traffic flows through the area under non-congested
situations). IOW: the majority of highways are under posted for
revenue enhancement.

Gee that is EXACTLY what I say about everyone of you idiots in those piece of **** cars,
trucks, suv's and especially those thick ****s who drive mini-vans. Inbred, mouth breathing pig
