Tip 11: Use a License Plate Cover

Makers of highly reflective or “light-bending” license-plate covers claim their products can blind a photo-enforcement camera, making the plate impossible to read.

Whether they actually work or are legal is another matter.

On Track Manufacturing Corp. boasts that its Original Protector license-plate cover is “designed to defeat conventional photo radar cameras mounted low on the side of the road.” An operator at the manufacturing company, however, says the product is not guaranteed to ward off a camera ticket.
