 Posted: 21:25 - 28 Nov 2007 Post subject: Number plate spray? |
 |
|
Was surfing ebay when i came across a numberplate spray that is supposed to stop you from being caught by speedcameras. Im quite skeptable, as if it worked i would have heard of it by now.
Has anyone tried it before? It says it is legal in the ad, but im guessing that it means its legal in somewhere like north africa but illegal in the UK.
so whats the deal?  |

WD40 all over the plate. Nice dusty road up and down several times and hey presto. Illegible number plate
Spray is pants, have tried it and in certain angles it sort of works but that was with a digital camera with flash. Dont think I would fancy putting my licence to the test just to see if it really does work.
You can however, if you go to the right places, buy number plates with a reflective coating on the actual lettering, between the letters and the outer plastic. Again I dont know if this works but I do know a chap near me who sells them. ____________________ Check out our tackle shop on Facebook:

they work to the naked eye in some cases, but it's VERY easy to extract the image from the photograph. If you HAVE used such a spray, and since the spray's sole purpose is to prevent the numberplate being seen under a flash, then it's quite likely you'll have "attempting to pervert the course of justice" thrown at you as well as the speeding fine or whatever
in a nutshell. they do not work.

BUT how do they extract it? , if they have to photoshop it surely you can use the Bury council precedent where they photoshoped parking time signs to make people look guilty or used them to redraw lines under cars etc , Bury council had to give back 3 years worth of fines (and subsequently had to sell a painting as they were so out of pocket) ,
Also the Scottish finger prints are worthless case,
where the police finger print experts used photoshop to crop a photo to make the WPC look guilty , result she went down , she appealed won and finger prints are barely admissible as evidence in court.
I'd question anything that wasn't on 35mm and had no negatives, since if Stalin managed to edit people out of their photos they can do plenty much now (esp my fake bukkake photos). ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

There was a dedicated stand at the NEC selling this and it had a demonstration video showing how it worked.
I didn't take much notice of it but a lot of people appeared to be buying it...  ____________________ My Bikes: Piaggio NRG| Aprilia RS 125| Suzuki GSX-R 600|Yamaha Fazer Ducati 848

Mythbusters did a program on a load of speedingticket avoiding sprays / devices / methods
and none of them worked.
Not sure how controlled the program is with stuff like that as if it found one worked I couldnt see the police being too amused, but i wouldnt buy any.
Best way to avoid a speeding ticket, dont speed...  ____________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
