I don't advocate speeding, but Photo Blocker sounds pretty cool.

A slave flash mounted on the bumper would also do the trick. If they use an electronic camera (not film) a class 4 laser will blind the camera permanently.

A polarized filter over the camera lens will defeat this.

Speaking of cameras...trying to find a good camcorder to take to Mexico. Any suggestions?

I agree, a slave flash will do the trick at night.
During the day, follow the speed limits.

"From a police perspective, I think it's irresponsible for anyone to use a device that would defeat our system so they could essentially speed in residential areas and school zones," Lamb said. Damn, you mean the public might not want to participate in your gotcha game? Sniff sniff...
Sorry, I don't like cameras on me and if folks can find a way to defeat them, then I'm all for it. Best of luck making these multi-thousand dollar systems absolutely worthless.

On the beach? Old Sony Nightshots work great. :)

I don't advocate speeding either, but there is a way to stop it. Put a few motocycle cops in the area for a few days. You'll stop it but quick.

Lowest cost, but a digital camcorder if you can afford it.
If not, then any camcorder will do just fine, unless you have special interests.

Yep... I would have thought the cameras had a polarizer built in anyway to prevent sun blindness.

My cousin was stationed in Germany 20 years ago, and they used to use hair spray to provide a reflective coat for their license plates.

Shooting the camera also works.
BTW, I heard a story, but was never able to confirm it, of a lawyer who was ticketed by a speeding camera or a red light camera. He went ahead and took it to trial and proceeded to summon his accuser to the stand. The camera was dismounted from its post and put on the stand, but for some reason wasn't able to answer the lawyer/defendant's questioning! The case ended up being dismissed.

A slave flash will work in daylight too. Mounted close to a license plate it will far outshine natural light.

Lowest cost, but a digital camcorder if you can afford it.I looked at a couple of websites (B&H Photo in New York) and they have a lot of Mini DV Camcorders. I am clueless. How would I be able to show what I've shot on a VCR? Does it require a special player? Arrrgh. Help.

"Photo Blocker sounds pretty cool."Darn right. This product is the first of many counter-measures we'll see come to market the more intrusive government becomes.
