I remember at the Birmingham Motor Show a few years ago there was a stand
selling a modified number plate that was designed to prevent celebrities'
number plates from recording on paparazzis' photos. This was round about the
time that speed cameras were being introduced so I asked the salesman about
the legality of this plate. He looked very sheepish, which was sufficient
answer ;-)

One frequently sees plates that are so filthy that no camera would pick
up any image. Clearly the drivers take this rule very seriously indeed.

The most common type of device (GATSO) makes an infra-red image as well
as a photographic one. Neither dirt nor, I suspect, the reflective spray
that is the subject of this thread, will prevent an infra-red image of
the number plate being taken.

I didn't know that. Fascinating.

Not a good picture, but certainly an informative one:

Besides, how would you test it without running the risk of a penalty +
points?

I tried testing it (on an off road vehicle, of course) by flashing a camera
at the plate - pretty unscientific I know - but it picked up the plate from
every angle in every picture. So I figured it was a load of nonsense.

Would you really want to buy something from a company that thinks the
Scottish Highlands are off-shore?
