Here in Texas there are laws against covering or obscuring the license plate. These laws have been used to harass motorists for purposes of revenue. Even vanity plate holders surrounding the license plate, which cover partially even just the word “Texas” at the top of the plate with a school name, have been used as cause for tickets.
Then there are the spray paints which supposedly make a plate a glaring reflector unable to be photographed with a flash, like at toll road automatic pay stations.
And the plastic louvers or domed covers that do the same are also cause for police attention.
Use this version of privacy retention at your peril.
I work in this industry and while this *might* work, it is most likely illegal as mikee2010 points out. I’m not a fan of red light cameras so I don’t really care about attempts at circumventing the technology, however there are much simpler ways to do it. Not gonna tell you, just sayin’…
All you need are high power infrared LEDS mounted around the plate. Constantly on so no need for any kind of mechanism that detects the flash of the traffic camera. Infrared overloads the IR sensitive camera, so it sees a blob.
