Default Licence Plate Cover - Block Photo Rador/Red LIght Pics

Hey guys - I am looking for a rear plate cover that blocks the photo radar or red light camera(s) - can a member point me in the right direction.

Yes, i searched with google - I am sure we have some members with real life experiences with a product or 2.

Thanks
S

Don't speed.

If you CHOOSE to, you should be ready to face the penalties put in place.

I had them before and it cost around $50 a set but I got a big citation for having them and wasn't worth having them around.... everytime cop car pulls behind me made me very nervous and that went on for a year and then one day motocycle cop pulls behind me looked from an angle and couldn't see the numbers then pulls me over gave me a $595 ticket . I went to the court drop it to $400.

I don't know the answer to this but I believe there was a thread on supraforums concerning this. Not sure if you are a member there but if so I would go check it out there.

yeah these plates are illegal in most states and provinces if not all

a better way to avoid getting the camera get a pic of the licence plate is to not speed
but if u have to, there is another way to hide the numbers
its illegal also but harder to detect

clearcoat

anyways i wouldnt do it
RCMP across canada dont like licence plate covers at all and it is against the law
so its best that u dont put one on because ull get a ticket for it even if u dont speed
