I can't stand these damn things. Noticed one on Murphy the other day 3 or 4 miles from my house. Whatever happened with the guy challenging these in the courts?
Just get the Photo Blocker spray. I don't usually run lights, but I have it on my car, and so do most of my buddies. We have never received a ticket. (I also heard it works on tolls, but I didn't say that)
We had them for a few months in Minneapolis and they were challenged in court and defeated on the basis that it was impossible to prove who was the driver of the car. Since then the city has had to refund anyone who got a ticket due to a red light camera.
Its liquid that you spray on your license plates to make them ultra reflective, thus causing a bright reflection when you run a red light and the camera flashes. That way when they look at the pictures all they see is a bright white area where the license plate is. And in turn, causing the people in charge of mailing out tickets to eat ****.
Didn't they do a photoblocker test on Mythbusters once? They were testing ways of avoiding the cameras but all the products failed.
I bought some tickets for game 7 from xxshadymcgradyxx and everything worked out well. Glad I stayed away from you.
That's odd the one's in LA take a picture of the driver as well as the license plate. My mother-in-law got one. You can see her face driving the car plain as day. I am sure she wishes that ticket wouldn't hold up. It is $300.
http://blogs.chron.com/cityhall/archives/2007/05/cameras_and_mor.html Cameras, and more cameras The Houston Police Department announced this morning that another 10 red-light cameras are now online. Here they are: * NB South Wayside at Gulf Freeway * NB Woodridge @ Gulf Freeway * WB West Bellfort Avenue @ Southwest Freeway * NB Fairbanks N. Houston @ Northwest Freeway * NB West Sam Houston Parkway South @ Westpark Drive * EB F.M. 2351 @ Gulf Freeway * EB South Post Oak Boulevard @ West Loop South * NB Northwest Freeway @ Mangum Road * WB South Sam Houston Parkway East @ Telephone Road * SB Stella Link Road @ South Loop West "Our priority is to promote the safety and welfare of the citizens of Houston," said HPD Sgt. Michael Muench. The ultimate goal of the program is to change driver behavior by increasing driver awareness and discouraging dangerous driving and red light running." You can see a map of all the camera locations here . The department also told the City Council's public safety committee today that they plan to install four "behavior modification" cameras to monitor crime on lower Main. You'll remember this idea was quite controversial when Chief Harold Hurtt last proposed it. The committee didn't seem to have any objections, though.
Did anyone see the video released by the city? Holy crap. Some people should not be on the road. Put up more cameras.
lol my dad ran one of those and we saw the flash too, but i think the rails covered it from an angle we never got a ticket for that.
