Question

Do red light/speed cameras deflect on special tag covers for sale?

Answer 1

I've heard that they sometimes work but it is illegal.  Well, here in California it is.

Answer 2

no, how can you think that? You would have to cover an entire vehicle

Answer 3

Some work, some don't.

Any covering on a license plate, even clear glass, is illegal (a traffic offense) in almost all states.

Using one for the purpose of defeating a camera is a criminal offense.

Answer 4

There are certain plastic license plate covers, that will send back a reflection, much like anything reflective being used in front of a camera.  However, in many states, it is illegal to use any form of license plate cover (i.e. Oregon)

Answer 5

Some claim to but keep in mind that there are several private companies in the states alone and many different types of cameras. I would say it would help your chances of not getting caught but not insure it. Much like having a radar detector may "help" you not get a speeding ticket. Keep in mind that any alterations to your  motor vehicle could  be against the law in your home state or by city ordnance

Answer 6

YES.  The plate number will not show up when they view the picture/video.  If it does, very very unlikely, the company will pay your ticket.  

However, it is outlawed in some states.

Answer 7

NO! It's a scam! The Mythbuster's tested all variations with no discernible results.

Answer 8

NO they do NOT.  Tests have proven that they are a waste of your money.
