To raise more revenue [priv] In-Reply-To: <6.0.0.22.2.20031028092740.0220ec40@private> Seems that many/most of these units can be defeated by reward facing IR lamps, increasing the surface reflectance of the license plate or maybe even placing some 3M privacy screen plastic (the type used to prevent spying over the shoulder at someone's ATM activities) angled so that patrol cars behind you can see the plate just fine but not those viewing from above. Some interesting links on speed camera technology and possible counter-measures. http://www.buyradardetectors.com/Products/OnTrack/Photo-Fog-Large.aspx http://www.ukspeedcameras.co.uk/index1.htm steve _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)
