    Default Has anyone used these?

    My coworker just told me about these and said that they're legal (unlike those angled protector cover) in GA. What do you think? My dad just got one of those red light ticket in the mail and he wasn't the driver. He doesn't remember who he loaned his truck to since lots of his friends borrowed his truck. I'm thinking of getting these? What do you think?

    we talked about this in class today bc someone got a ticket in the mail today and they knew a lot about it. unfortunately i dont really remember any of it, but they said that stuff doesnt really work, but i dont really know. something about how it doesnt use light reflected of the horizon anymore? but im with civic95 on that im not sure how legal any of that is

    Guys Im gonna start making these.... I have one on my Montero. lil dirty but you get the Idea

    I have posted this on a different forum with a lot of response. The way we look at it...is that I would rather get stopped and have a ticket handed to me instead of not doing anything wrong and recieve one through the mail...trust me, it happened to me a couple of weeks ago..let me know if you all are interested

    Phantom's 32 shipped, so half is 16 right (shipped)? Ebay's are ~17 bucks I think.

    I feel like it's group buy time

    Well they charge 7.00 for shipping, and I think its only like 2-3 dollars to ship it out so it will come out to around 15-17 bucks!

    Im gonna be out of town next week, so if you all can hold off for a bit, then that would be great...If you dont want to wait then thats cool as well...but if you are looking for one, then go to ebay and buy one for a decent price...I think they are like 26.00 shipped! Type in plate blocker or something like that!
    Sorry for the inconvience of me being out of town!

    What about how squad cars have the video cams in the front...will it respond to that. And if it if u get pulled over and the camera is pointed at the rear end of your car, couldnt they be watching the tape for reference and see the glare/nonreadable tag and then fine u for it.???

    Thats just the chance you have to take on all of these....but On most of them...you can look at it head on and see it fine....When you look down on it from where the traffic cameras are it will blurr all the numbers/letters out!

    Maybe because these Redlight cameras are screwing up!!!

    I got a ticket in the mail two weeks ago while pulling my car "Sitting" at the light...the thread is on the forums somewhere!

    I didnt do anything wrong but there saying I ran it...I had people with me and they Know for sure I didnt run a redlight that night!!

    So there you go! If you dont want one then dont buy one!

    And did you know that they shorten the amber time down to under 3 seconds? All researcher, state patrols, DOT, SAE people, all agreed at the MINIMUM time is 3.5 sec, anything less will actually be dangerous for rear-end collision, etc. They're trying to come up with a federal universal time but these camera-ed interesections, obviously have a time shorten up much much more so that they can write off more tickets.
