ONCE AGAIN, PhotoBlocker™ Spray
proven to work
against traffic cameras that use flash!

For eight months, traffic cameras designed to catch motorists running red lights, were used in Minneapolis. Twenty-two thousand tickets were issued and the fines totaled three quarters of a million dollars.

But a court decision earlier this year forced city officials to turn off the cameras.
"What it does is hyper-expose the picture," Cooke explains. "If there's no picture, there's no ticket. There is no $140 dollars coming out of your pocket. The photo comes out blurred and you've got every chance of escaping a hefty fine."

"Could you pick that out on the road?" asks Lt. Mark Peterson of the Minnesota State Patrol. "It would be hard. I can look at it close and it looks like you changed the reflectivity, but it would be hard for us to see this."

We shot the plate from three different angles outside during the day. We used available light and did not use a flash on the camera. Not once, was it ever obscured.
So, to best simulate a camera mounted on a pole along the side of a street, we had KARE photographer Brett Akagi take flash pictures from a ladder. While many times you could still make out the plate once, there was still confusion.
"Can you see the whole license plate though," reporter Bernie Grace asks?
"Read it, read it, CKJ-095 or CXJ-095," reads Akagi. "Okay, close."
A couple of pictures were taken at night with a flash. In those instances, the plate was unreadable. The picture was over-exposed and the plate was blurred.
So under just the right conditions, this spray may obscure your license plate
