Drivers Rush to Protect Against Unjust Red-light Camera Tickets as New Cameras Go Up

27 February 2006

This city has announced plans to have red-light cameras at more than 60 intersections by May, and drivers are wasting no time to prepare for self-defense against unjust tickets.

News reports from around the world regularly document the continuing problems with traffic enforcement camera systems. Thousands of innocent motorists have received tickets in the mail, and the cost to prove they are innocent is taking a toll.

"We want our roads to be safe, and we do not encourage anyone to break the law. But we know how frustrating it is to get a ticket you do not deserve," explained Scott. "Most drivers are good people who want to obey the law. If they have time to either stop or clear the intersection they will, but many cities use short yellow lights making it hard to stop in time. Plus there are many reports of cameras that just do not work right. More and more people are using PhotoBlocker spray to protect themselves," said Joe Scott from PhantomPlate, Inc., the maker of PhotoBlocker (tm).

The ACLU debates the legality of the cameras. Privacy advocates express their concerns. Drivers say they worry about getting tickets as the result of letting someone borrow their car. Scott is not engaged in the debate over those issues. He simply wants to provide drivers with a way to prevent tickets they do not deserve. With sales of over 500,000 cans of the spray in 23 countries, Scott has apparently found plenty of buyers including public officials.

"We get calls, e-mails and letters from journalists, doctors, lawyers, firefighters, teachers, judges, politicians, and police officers themselves have resorted to using PhotoBlocker spray to avoid entrapment," said Scott.

PhotoBlocker is sprayed on a license plate and does not in any way obstruct or change the appearance of the numbers on the plate to the human eye. However, the flash picture from a red-light camera or speed camera makes the numbers on the plate unreadable because the light reflects back blinding the camera, similar to the effect of taking a flash picture into a mirror.

The spray works, according to published media reports of tests by police and journalists. Scott says the fact that Illinois and New York have passed laws against the spray are further testimony that it works. There are no laws against the spray in any other state, he said.

The company reports sales of over 500,000 cans in 23 countries. Information about the product is available on the Internet at http://www.PhotoBlocker.com. Many links to news stories and media reports are posted on the site.
