it would be cheaper to pay the ticket.

Depends on the driver I guess. I had 2500$ in photo radar tickets in one year on my work truck, got 3 tickets in the same spot one day...whoops....lol

I've gotten 4 in the lat few months. I'm a real speeder lol. 42 in a 30, 61 in a 50. 59 in a 50. 68 in a 60. Total tax and has nothing to do with safety. In ready to remove my plate. Play dumb and say it was stolen. Those total over $500

If that happens, they will drop 2 of the three tickets. ....but you have to ask.

Yeah thats good to know. They tend to put them in places where the speed limit suddenly changes from 70 to 50 ext.

Another time, I was visiting a GF at the Royal Alek Hospital, driving from Red Deer to Edmonton every day and I got a Ticket 5days in a row
at the same spot leaving Edmonton. Thank You please come again! lol

If you sold that setup, you would sell a lot of them.

I guess but the word would get out and then the cops would look for them any time they saw a tinted glass in front of a license plate. Might not be in business for long? BUT if you built it for yourself, no one would be the wiser.

Actually, there was a company out there building them. ...seem to have disappeared off the face of the planet a few years ago. On the upside, there's another way. Apparently most photo cameras are IR, so you can mount IR LED's around your plate which will bind the IR cameras with a big hot spot around your plate. Simple and cheap if it works.

Maybe you could just sell the Blue prints online? Haha

I saw the cheapest one yet on my way to B'ville yesterday. Just hang a rag under your tailgate so it covers half the plate.

Im noticing a LOT of vehicles in Edmonton are lightly painting one or two digits in the licence plate white, not so white that your eye can't see the letter(s) but when the vehicle gets 10+ feet away my eye can't read it anymore. Not sure if it is effective with the cameras or not. If they ever committed a crime and a witness tried to read the plate, in the time it takes to speed away, the witness would not get the correct plate number... Can painting your plate be legal? and what kind of defense could a person use if they were pulled over?... I only ask because yesterday going from 50 street to spruce grove, on the yellowhead, i counted 11 painted licence plates. One truck even had the 2 middle numbers slightly white and the last two solid white.

Painted or are they failing due to carwash chemicals?

good question...only think i can figure is, if it was chemicals it would be even discoloration across the whole licence plate not just on or two numbers

I'm not sure but I've seen a fee too and not on "the usual suspects" cars. One was a major old guy.
I can tell you my plate isn't blurred in any way, the video was perfectly in focus and the red letting was vibrant.
It just sucks....lol
