Since I have been busted (again), I have been thinking about a non-obvious way to 'camouflage' the licenseplate. I haven't found a solution yet. Has anyone a brilliant idea???? Let me know I'm interested!

Get a license shield. It's a clear plastic cover which masks your plate when viewed at an angle. It's great for beating the photo tickets.

it doesnt work - they simply turn the photo into a negative and your identity is revealed. Spend the $25.00 towards your next ticket instead...
False. I have a license plate cover which obscures the view to the naked eye, not just cameras. It works from the side, or above. Perfect for beating photo tickets.

I have a cover on my plate as well as my brother and sister-in-law. My brother has been snapped twice and NO ticket. He knew he got snapped cause at night it's pretty obvious. Check this website out http://www.specterguard.com/. Click on the Super Specterguard on the left side. That is the best one. It covers all the angles and it DOES work.

A speed camera ticket can cost $200 plus depending on the city. A red light camera ticket will cost $300 plus depending on the city. I'm not running red lights or anything like that but speed camera tickets can add up quickly and everyone driving an E60 knows that speeding is an easy thing to do.

my simple solution. run no plates. out here in california a new or recently purchased car just has a piece of paper in the front window. no paper plates, etc. if i happen to get a ticket for no plates i think it's a fix it ticket. or another solution we've used is registering the car to someone else. they can't give the owner a ticket if they are not driving. and the owner cannot be compelled to divulge who was.
