Ahh, but the point here is to only obscure the number plate when the
picture is being taken, so there is no way a cop can see the plate being
obscured.. Yes, in Australia you do get chase cars accompanying car
mounted speed cameras, and they will look funny at something that wlooks
weird for ten seconds (If you're gonna display a different number, remember
it wont look normal unless u only do things like change U's to O's, or F's
to E's.. u still need the reflective crap to show thru).
What about painting the reflective stuff with opaque paint? Still the same
colour, just much less reflective.
On another note.. If you get a radar detector.. Why the hell would you need
to cover ur plate??? Oh yeah, do shadow detectors in US really cost only
$100???
