So.....

Depends on what city

 

Don't come down to DC. OR Baltimore.

You'll know it when you see it F L A S H!

I hope they get a lens flare full of trailer. A pox on their bif-bof.

 

There's some gadget you can buy and put by the liscense plate that detects a traffic camera flash and thwarts it by emitting a flash that blocks the camera from recording your plate.
Will a computer screen security cover that's used to keep anyone from seeing what's on your computer screen unless they're directly beside you, work if placed over a license plate?

 

That is quackery if you ask me. With all due respect Chinatown.

The only possible way to bypass a camera is to literally borrow UK's recent Armor testing on the Salibury plain where cameras on the tank record it's surroundings in real time and then carefully instruct special material all over the tank to emit specific things. The result is you see the Salisbury plain but not the tank itself UNLESS a human head pops up above the driver's, loader's or Tank commander's hatch which is not part of the sensory net made for becoming invisible. They ran a test tank against 20 people who were present a few years ago and all they saw was the crew men heads above the tank itself plus the dirt rooster trails thrown by the tracks as it advanced on them.

If you could outfit a vehicle here in America with that technology you can make it invisible to the human eyeball and any camera. But that level of deception is excessive.

That will be somewhat analogus to asking a 3 watt radar jammer to go against a radar gun deployed by police pumping out 1000 watts of power. You need a B52 level 50,000 watt Jammer to overpower the radar gun. And that kind of output in EW form will disrupt so much stuff for miles around you... See where Im going with this?

All that for a camera?

Here in the south we have no speed or traffic cameras yet for law enforcement purposes of mailing tickets to the registered owner of the vehicle. But those days are coming. Other cameras are in place and increasing in numbers and locations, but nothing yet where we are specifically.

The closest thing to trouble with cameras is that our local police have facial recognizng on their cruiser cameras so if you passed a police man doing a school traffic task or a speed enforcement post in a parking lot somewhere and looked at him or her your face will be recognized using information pulled from the photo taken of you when you got your licensing or concealed handgun license or some other lawful source in which you are photographed.

 

@x1Heavy - The Navy can surround a submarine with tiny air bubbles to seem invisible to sonar.
Some Canadian drivers told me they use fishfinders to thwart radar from troopers. Wonder if that really works.

 

Again if you can come up with the wattage to overwhelm and silence the return signal that the trooper's equiptment is looking for be it radar, laser or something else.... you got it made.

What I think might work is... a commerical over the counter jammers used by Movie theaters and US Government contractors to detect and interfere with the sensory plates inside the digital cameras and possibly the cell phones too.

If you remember how things work, there is a plate behind the lens that capture a signal in the form of visible color wavelengths be it white, green, blue red etc and convert that value to a specific hex decimal number and send that information per pixel read in real time to a processor inside the camera whose job is to build a image and store it using hexdecimal data from every single point within the sensory plate at whatever resolution it might be at.

If you can find the sensory plate and aim a certain signal at it, causing it to max out with the binary signal equivleant of FFFFFF or 255 per pixel group across the entire sensory plate you can cause the camera to literally display a white screen or the other way the black screen with nothing being recordable.

That would be my choice using some of my IT training based on how these devices work and what we would need to make them not work inside a movie house or a federal isntallation.

 

Guess the Canadians are right; a strong fishfinder works.
What do you think @NorthernMechanic

 

how about shining a police type led spotlight at the camera as you approach the intersection?
