License plate blocker for red light camera?
I was just discussing this with my co-worker. With so many red lights camera around the city. It's kind of silly to remember all these location. I did a search and came up with 3 of these. Does these Phantom Plate blocker actually works? I saw a couple of testimony stating it really does works. Anyone know if it works?

I'm not trying to preach, Lord knows I've seen a few "Late Lights" in my day, I just try not to ever push the red light thingy. Ya know cars, pedestrians and all. I honestly don't think they look good on a car, so I vote nay on getting one.

No they dont work, I remember watching a thing in FOx 5 where they tried them all and none worked. The only one that seemed to work was some guy that got REALLY lucky, a bird flew right in front of his license plate as the picture was taken.
The cover, whether its clear or not, is illegal so even if you avoid the photo being taken, you'll get banged for the cover.
Why not just stop for red lights?
They're not programmed to flash as soon as the light turns red, it takes a couple of milliseconds after it turns red to activate. I've seen people pass red lights without it taking pictures when they had more than enough time to stop.

Sorry buddy but if that ticket was here in NYC, you didnt get it for an expired meter. Expired meters are $35 anywhere in NYC and in Manhattan anywhere south of 96St its $65...
You either parked a hydrant or double parked somewhere for that $115 ticket.
