i totally understand the notion of not running the red lights and concur...

however, the red light cameras are installed there not to protect the public from crazy speedsters but to increase the revenue for the locality/municipality/township.

There used to be cameras in Arlington, VA that have been removed as the company who installed them has been sued for calibrating the cameras and the lights that it was literally impossible to slow down when the light changed from green to yellow and then to red - the yellow to red transition was too fast, and the cars that were moving for the green, were caught in the yellow and by the time the flash went off, the red was already in the picture.

these paints work in some cases and in the most cases they do not. properly designed and installed camera will cut through the reflective layer of the paint.

there was a plastic cover, sold from a seller somewhere in canada.

that cover is totally illegal in the US and can be used only for off-road use only, as it will effectively block the views from the top, sides and the bottom aimed cameras - i have personally tested that plastic cover in our lab
