Can These Products Keep You From Getting a Red Light Camera Ticket or Speed Camera Ticket?
- “Photo Radar Detectors” and “Speed Camera Jammers” prevent speed cameras and red light cameras from obtaining a photo of your license plate. They work in the same way as regular radar detectors and laser jammers.
- “Photo Blocker Spray” is a product that you spray on your license plate to make it more reflective. When the red light camera or speed camera tries to take a photo of your plate, the spray supposedly causes your license plate to reflect the photo flash and prevents the camera from getting a picture of your plate.
- License plate covers that block speed cameras and red light cameras from getting a clear photo of your license plate. (Check your local traffic laws before purchasing any of the items listed above, to make sure they are legal to use in your state.)
