Traffic cameras? It's about time someone fought back against this blatantly unconstitutional tax on random drivers. Introducing NoPhoto, by No Limits Enterprises.
Note: I don't support speeding or running lights. But having read many stories about how the contractors who put these cameras in cities are allowed to fine-tune the timing of the yellow light to trap more drivers, and because I believe in the right to face one's accuser, and because the corrupt Port Authority of NY/NJ has TWICE attempted to fine me (when I returned home) for not paying Lincoln Tunnel tolls into NYC when I had receipts to prove I had paid (they're obviously expecting an out-of-state driver wouldn't bother to fight them--I sent a copy of the receipt both times and was then left alone) . . . I think we must fight back against this tyranny, although--plan on it: "chipped" plates that detect your proximity to a traffic cam are probably coming next. Smart guys will figure out how to jam those, too.
"While the noPhoto is a highly advanced piece of equipment, the concept behind its operation is elegantly simple. Here is how a typical traffic camera encounter would happen with the noPhoto installed on your car:
- The traffic camera fires its flash to illuminate your car for a picture
- The noPhoto detects the flash, analyzes it, and sends the proper firing sequence to its own xenon flashes
- The noPhoto precisely times and fires the flash at the exact moment needed to overexpose the traffic camera
- Since the traffic camera is not expecting the additional light from the noPhoto, all of its automated settings are incorrect and the image is completely overexposed. Your license plate cannot be seen and you will not get a ticket in the mail."
