New Invention PhotoBlocker Spray Helps Motorists Fight Unjust Traffic Tickets - Speed and Red Light Cameras Have Met Their Match

Download this press release as an Adobe PDF document.

New invention, PhotoBlocker Spray, renders red-light and speed cameras useless. The spray can be applied to license plates to make them hyper-reflective and unreadable when the camera flashes. The Product is a hit with drivers.

(PRWEB) July 1, 2004 -- Hate the idea of impersonal cameras ticketing you for driving 36 miles per hour (mph) in a 25mph zone or for running a red light that was only yellow for a split second? The antidote is in a red aerosol can known as PhotoBlocker Spray.

The use of speed and red light cameras by cash strapped cities raising revenue in the name of safety angers millions of motorists. This has created huge business opportunities for companies assisting motorists to fight back and avoid unjust traffic tickets. One such company is PhantomPlate Inc., manufacturer of PhotoBlocker Spray.

City and state officials said the product could become an effective counter to the high-tech cameras. There is no city law that prohibits its use, and there is nothing on the state books to ban it either.
PhotoBlocker Spray is a clear hi-gloss permanent reflective finish. When applied to license plates, the spray creates a glossy finish. The glossy surface acts as a mirror to reflect a photo radar flash back to the camera overexposing the image. The unreadable license plate fools red light and speed cameras resulting in the issuance of NO traffic summons. The effect is similar to taking a flash photograph of oneself standing in front of a mirror. The resulting picture will be overexposed and unreadable.

To date, PhotoBlocker has been vigorously tested by several police departments, investigative news crews and over fifty seven newspapers and magazines from around the world. On November 7, 2002 Captain John Lamb of the Denver Police department participated in a Fox television test of the PhotoBlocker Spray. The test replicated a car driving 30 mph through a 20 mph zone. The spray successfully obscured the license plate numbers recording the plate as a glowing white blur. The results were so compelling Fox 5 Washington D.C. called the spray "Surprisingly effective". Captain Lamb said in a matter of fact voice, "A test of the spray proved effective at producing a glare over the license plate."

Police departments in Australia, the Netherlands and Swedish TV have also conducted similar tests with comparable results. "You have every chance of avoiding a traffic ticket," concluded Australian TV. On July 3, 2003 The Washington Times featured PhotoBlocker on the front page with the heading "License-Plate Spray Foils Traffic Cameras".

According to Delaware Online News Journal, "City and state officials said the product could become an effective counter to the high-tech cameras. There is no city law that prohibits its use, and there is nothing on the state books to ban it either."    Lt. Patrick Burke of the Metropolitan Police Department said "the spray isn't banned by any laws in the District."

Even it were to be banned the authorities would have a hard time identifying plates treated with PhotoBlocker as the spray is clear and undetectable. Motorists cannot buy the product fast enough and PhantomPlate Inc.'s sales are exploding world wide.
