Did you know the red light camera traps set up to catch people running red lights are privatized?
That's right! Private security companies!
The cities who use these cameras profit a small percentage of the security companies revenue from the tickets you and I receive, with the bulk of the fine remaining with the security company!

If you have watched the news lately you would have seen cities like Baltimore being investigated for slowing down the yellow light in order to get people to run the red light, and collect a portion of the ticket that will be issued!
It's obvious that in these hard economic times, even big cities will find a way to stick it to us when we least expect it.
In order to combat these unfair practices, some companies have developed license plate photo blocker sprays.
The spray acts like the multi colored cars you see on the road today. When they are coming at you, they are one color, as they pass they become many colors.
This is due to the molecular make up of the paint.
Photo blocker sprays work in much the same manner. When a camera tries to take a picture from an angle above your vehicle, all it see's is a white flash!
There's even more good news for people who don't like sprays but want to avoid red light camera traps.
Other companies have developed license plate covers that are clear, but again cannot be photographed from an angle because the molecular structure of the plastic cover is altered in much the same way as the sprays are.
And in related news, the fight for avoiding police speed traps has taken a turn for those states that have anti radar laws.
New downloads for your GPS systems allow the user to see police radar traps. Some up to 10 miles in advance.
And these are Legal in all states!
Garmin, Tom Tom, Magellian and many other GPS systems all have the interface already provided to accept the download.
Personally, I don't believe private security companies should profit from our misdemeanor traffic offenses.
I think this will lead to higher and higher ticket fines and when the government see's their profit share, they will probably privatize speeding tickets too.
Imagine being pulled over by a fat guy wearing a beard, driving a Toyota, walking up to your car with his shirt untucked...handing you a ticket for traveling 1 mile over the speed limit!
Join the fight to prevent privatization of police issues in your state.
Vote against any politician who see's red light camera traps as a good thing and write your congressman to voice your opposition.
