Got a V1 for that :thumbup:
Somehow I don't trust the spray thing, seems like a scam to me :rolleyes:

i guess if you dont break the law, the camera technically doesnt turn on.... i dunno. i'm no lawyer.

there was some suit that the funds that come from photo'ed tickets were being mishandled. that's the only thing i heard of, thus far.

Do you really think those guns can even be aimed that accurately? What's the chance the officer can even hit the plate on a moving target?

agreed. i think the police radar picks up on certain elements in the plate. IMO, there are too many other variables that would make the radar 'questionable' in making a case on a speeder. i think the plate has certain reflective qualities that if the tweaked police radar was aimed in a certain direction it would pick on it, versus just a moving object (i.e. tweaked police radar vs. a baseball speed gun)

I don't mean to be disrespectful but IMHO i don't see what funny about this experience. I don't waste the energy, time and cost on this stuff. It's much easier to respect and obey the law.

Thanks for your input. You make a valid point. I'll still post my pictures, b/c I personally thought it was funny.

I even had a front plate missing, too. Thought I got away. Week later, I get a letter in the mail with my photo. Talk about cruel! It was a Friday!

$350, $40 court appeal for defensive driving, then another $40 or so for the actual class.

Seeing yourself in true shock? Priceless.

Wondering if those license plate covers really work. If they do, which one to buy?

Since you're in Cali, check out www.ticketassassin.com regarding photo enforced lights.
