Anti scamera plate spray.

[verminator]

For years now ive had anti speed camera spray on my plates. I have been told by a friend that the plates wont show up on a anpr system and that the plod are dishing out huge fines for having anti camera sprays on plates. Has anyone had any experience with this problem?

How would that work? ANPR does not use flash and the anti-reflect spray purely relies on a flash as far as I know.

Why is it when someone comes on here asking a sensible question they get crap answers like this?


Any form of grease would be too thick and could be spotted a mile off by a patrol car , what you need is a thin sheen of oil, I’ve a mate in the business who can get a cracking deal on snake oil a £19.99 for 50ml.

Just let me know

It doesnt work. if the computer cannot read the numberplate on a speeding vehicle, it flags up the image and a human will read the numberplate. Same with unusual fonts, etc

So no, they dont work.

I spotted him first (although no one else will be able to with my grease) - get off my turf!

Have a read through my posts in this very brief thread.

I watched an episode of Road Wars where an ANPR traffic car was following a Golf, and to the police officers the rear plate on the golf was perfectly normal and readable, but on the TV screen of the car's camera system it was completely blurred out.

Long story short, the police were confused and intrigued so they pulled the guy, he said the plates were on the car when he bought it, and they proceeded to give him a ticket/fine for the plate. I believe he got 3 points as well but I'm not certain.

Indeed.

I think what also annoys me is people who start ranting about Snake Oil and suchlike whenever 'anti camera' plates are discussed. In the case of this example they worked, no question. The driver didn't get the result he wanted, but the plates did their job.

Also, a friend of mine has a Bentley GT (did the Gumball in it etc) and whilst at a wedding recently my mum took a load of photos of guests and his GT was in the background of some of them. Numberplate text didn't show up on any of the photos at all. It was like looking at a blank plate. He says they 'cost him a bit', but I've seen the results with my own eyes!

I'm guessing the reflective material is clear and above the lettering, instead of behind it?

I've never looked into it as I've always considered mucking about with plates stupid and a massive waste of time.

I have never looked into it either but I suspect you are right with regards to the anti-flash photography plates.
They probably won't work with non-flash photography such as average speed cameras.

The plates did their job of getting the driver pulled - sounds like a great idea, I must get some!

[mcflurry]

AFAIK they don't work. The scamera operator simply runs a filter over them and sends out the bill...

A couple of years ago a force was concerned about this stuff so did a test on a marked car. The pictures came back fine so they could not do the supplier for perverting the course of justice. Then some bright spark passed the advert and pictures to Trading Standards who prosecuted for misleading advertising!

Why are they a dick?

The plate is readable by humans, so if they did something dangerous, they could still be reported. It's just speed cameras they mess with (although as someone has said, a human will read it). I have no issue with people "cheating" speed cameras. Everyone should do it.

They run them as negative prints normally and the effect is negated.

Doesn't work in car as this cannot be done.

The flash back systems have also been defeated.

i drive from portsmouth to south yorkshire at least 5 times a year and recently every other week . everytime i go up there we look out for Police patrol cars during the day and at night .......none why ? becuase budgets in policing cant cope with 2 old bill sat in a nice warm car driving up and down the M1 . they are used for every day policing as towns and cities are stretched to cope with normal calls .

so every now and then they pop on to the motorway to get there daily quota of tickets to hand in to the boss to say yes ive done my bit today guv !!!

now im not saying its the general rule and im sure ive just been lucky but must be some truth in this. as for the spray stuff you put on plates anything is worth a go. and as for more than 70 on the M1 ACPO states that 10% + 2 is still laid down in the books .

I dont have super fast car just a normal daily driver but if you get done under 79 its worth mentioning the ACPO guidlines to speeding in the uk before you send your licence off !!!!

Yeah, power to the people bro!

Daily quota? Seriously get a grip.

As for getting done and mentioning ACPO guidelines you'd be better off realising ACPO doesn't exist anymore and that the speed limit is what it is not a guideline.

Is it school holidays again or just retards day out?
