Ferrari: "stealth" radar installation-MB

Why not just drive the speed limit like you are supposed to and stop trying
to rob liquor stores?

That is the way it's supposed to work (at least with other products). The
plate remains visible and therefore "legal" when looked at straight on.
Moving off axis obscures the plate, which is what one would expect from a
photo radar or intersection camera, which has to be off the center, or at
least angled down from overhead. 

Why don't you post answers to questions instead of adding your own (stupid)
comments. I don't use anything like this for my plates, but I do use a
radar/laser detector to protect myself from speeding tickets. On our
highways EVERYONE is driving 10-29 KPH over the limit. If I drove the speed
limit even in the right hand lane, little old ladies in 1980's Caddy's would
be passing me and giving me the finger.

From the website it looks like you are in US/CA. In the UK modifying with
the number plate is illegal. However, amazing how many muddy plates there
were when the congestion charge -- enforced through cameras -- was
introduced in London.

You are kidding right....

Traffic here in the Philly area goes 65 in the right lane, 70 in the
middle lane, and 80 plus in the left one. All this in a 55mph zone.

Nobody ever goes the speed limit here...it is simply a joke. It is an
odds thing...if you drive more often, you are more likely to get stopped.

I see nothing wrong with going 70mph on a clear stretch of turnpike or
open highway in my Mercedes. The car is built to handle speeds far
faster than this. It is perfectly safe as long as there are no lights,
side streets, or animals (not an issue on our highways here. If you
don't have to weave or ride up on other people why not ride faster...?

Dear: Mr. Williamson

First and foremost, I sincerely apologize for the length it took to
respond
to this e-mail.

If you decide to take a flash photo of you license plate after it has
been
treated, don't be surprised if the plate numbers are still visible. That
doesn't mean that it won't work. You see a standard camera flash is only
a
few watts. The speed camera is setup with a 340watt "melt your eye balls"
flash unit which isn't designed to read the number plate, but designed to
pick out your face inside a dark vehicle interior. A standard camera
flash
sometimes isn't powerful enough to produce a "white out" effect. The
correct
way to test the effectiveness of our products is to use actual
photo-radar
equipment. . A personal digital camera is not a photo radar camera.
First of
all, the car has to be in motion. I don't know how you will be able to
take
an image using you personal camera. Besides, the flash technology used
will
not be comparable. The correct way to test the PhotoBlocker spray is
using a
photo radar camera. That is exactly what Fox News investigative reporters
and Denver City Police Department did. As a result PHOTOBLOCKER has
become
the best selling anti-photo radar spray product in the world. To watch
the
actual investigated reports please go to

Sincerely
DAVID GREEN

It's called the Law. If you don't like the speed limit, bitch to your
politicians to change it.

....no wonder so many kids can't respect anything - neither can their
parents.

Your comments don't appear to be grounded in reality. You are either
very naive or live in a rural area and are retired and have nowhere to
go on a regular basis.

Do you actually live in the USA?

The insurance lobby is far more powerful than the average citizen. They
have continually lobbied for things like lower speed limits and helmet
laws.

The police departments see speeding as a great revenue source... why
would they change the limits to reflect the speeds that the general
public wants to drive?

If they raised the speed limits they would lose a large revenue stream,
and have nothing to do (thereby having to lower the workforce... what do
you think the police unions would have to say about that?).

86% of the drivers on the highway are routinely exceeding the speed
limit.

What does this tell you?

It tells you that the general public wants to drive faster, but "big
brother" in the form of politicians that are being lobbied by various
causes (including the insurance lobby) are being coerced into keeping
the speed limits lower.

It is purely a statistical situation. The police know we all speed, and
they write tickets on 1% of the speeders. The tickets do nothing or
little to change the behavior.

Those of us who disagree, have no desire (and know it will do no good)
to launch a personal campaign against the wealthy powerful insurance
industry and Police unions. instead we choose to use technology to
fight back.

You can disagree if you want... that's what makes america such a great
place.
