Here in Wisconsin it is illegal, but they usually don't bother the old car crowd. Newer cars will get stopped, HHRs included. I want them on my car, tho.

 

Somewhere I saw an ad for an electronic light of some kind that claimed to render your plate illegible when shot by photocop machines without putting any kind of cover on it. To the naked eye, tag looks normal. I don't know if it was a rip-off or for real. They don't have photocops around here anyway.

 

Funny this was mentioned.. I just watched the Mythbusters episode on these "picture evading" products for license plates.. All of them they used didn't work...

I don't know how much faith you put into Mythbusters findings, but this one was pretty straightforward.. They had a street camera on a boom-lift and a test car (Dodge Neon). They applied the products to the license plate one at a time, and drove through the camera's motion sensory. Every picture taken was rendered legible.

 

I saw that, though here there is one that does work... our plates are blue characters on a white background... there are light blue tinted plates covers that make it very difficult to see the contrast on a photograph, but to the eye it is still quite clear.

 

Hmm.. Sounds like it would work... Maybe I can get a light green tinted cover like that (Oklahoma plate is white with green lettering).

 

Replace the plate lights with neons and pics on photo radar will be over exposed...illegal tho'

Here's a novel idea. Don't speed......... can't even say that with a straight face.

 

I don't care who you are.....that right there is funny.

 

When Jesse Ventura was governor in Minnesota, he caused blue dots to be legal.

 

I don't care if you speed reasonably, but I'd like to give some drivers a wood-shampoo when they run a light. I've seen it too damn often around here. Watched a '69 Firebird almost get wiped out just yesterday, because someone didn't yield.
