Given the "liberal" attitude in many other states, I’m surprised that
folks just "let it happen" without getting outraged and expressing
that outrage to their elected officials.  Major points to focus on
is the unfairness of photo-radar…..it is used ONLY against the
registered owner of the vehicle.  Unless the registered owner
identifies someone else as the driver (how many folks are going
to "turn in" there spouse, kids, parents, or friends?) the ticket
is the responsibility (fine, insurance points, etc.) of the owner.

What happened to inocent unless PROVEN guilty?

What about all the leased
vehicles, corporate registered vehicles, etc.?  Come on folks,
don’t just "take-it," get outraged and fight it.  That’s what
Steve Carrelas and the rest of the NJ Chapter of National
Motorists Assn. did and now NMA is leading the fight for 65mph
limits on NJ’s highways.

Could someone refresh my memory.  I think the enamel causes a glare on the
photo when the camera flash goes off.  I frequently drive through Cupertino
which uses photo radar mounted in a Jeep Cherokee.  Any help would be much
appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

There must be *some* truth to this theory.  While in the Canary Islands last
year, one person told me that they spray their plates with Hair Spray to defeat
the photo radar!  Seemed a bit strange to me at the time.

Not in direct answer to your question, but here goes :

When photo radar was brought in over here, a guy was selling plate covers
made of polarized plastic, with vertical polarization.  The result was that
the plates were unreadable at an angle from the side.  The cops clamped down,
using a law stating that number plates were to be visible at all times….
The guy went out of business.  :-(
