Never thought this would work, but someone did a test to prove this theory wrong

im pretty sure the camera tested is supposed to catch speeders. i think they set them up in areas where people always speed.

In Wpg. the cameras do double duty. They are at intersections and they catch both red lights and speeders. They also have mobile units for just speeding. I can't see the vid either, but the only protection I know of is to get a special license plate cover that blurs the plate when seen from an angle or to apply something to your plate to overexpose it like laquer or a special spray that is sold. A guy in Calgary told me that he used glitter all over his plate and then laquer over top. He swore it worked but it looks pretty fruity.
