Camera Blocker - Stops Red Light Tickets!

Think you don't need Camera Blocker on your license plate? Well that's what I thought, while in Springfield Ohio doing an Auto Inspection, not even knowing there were cameras around, I got my picture taken.

About 2 weeks after I done the inspection I received a notice and a ticket saying I would have to send them $100.00 for running a stop light, they included a photo of my car and tag. They also had a site to go to and view a short movie with my car they say going through a light after it changed.

The movie was not very clear but after watching it and pausing it several times I determined I was more than half way through the light when it changed, so at this time I am disputing the ticket and waiting for a trial date.

I also went back to where said offence took place and timed the light and it changed in a little less than 3 seconds, so I timed other lights in the area where there wereno lights and the changed in a little over 4 seconds. What a difference a second can make.

In studies all over th U.S. the cameras are not about safety, but more about increase in revenue and all the cash generated by these cameras don't wind up in the cities coffers but a large amount of it goes to the companies that install the cameras.

The Camera Blocker spray and the Camera Blocker license plate shield protects your license plate from being photographed by the red light camera.

The Camera Blocker spray adds a high gloss to your license plate, hard to notice, and when the camera flashes it bounces off the plate like a flash in a mirror and the numbers are not readable.

With the Camera Blocker license plate shield, it appears like a platic cover you buy to protect your license plate, it distorts the letters when looking down or from the side the way the camera angle is. When looking straight on at the plate, it appears normal.

I use both the Camera Blocker spray and the Camera Blocker license plate shield on my vehicles. These help with a red light camera ticket, and a red light camera speeding ticket. It makes it a little eaiser and safer to avoid this type of traffic ticket.

I now have Camera Blocker on all my cars. If I would have had it before I got a ticket I wouldn't be having the hassle of going to court to plead my case.

The cameras perceived mission is a noble one. I totally agree that there is a problem with red light runners. However, there is absolutely no “independent” proof which shows that the cameras do anything more than make the cities and vendors MILLIONS of DOLLARS. Unfortunately, money is what the cameras are all about; not your safety. They (city officials ) use the pretense of safety so that the uneducated of photo-enforcement, which is the majority of us, go along with the biggest scam of decade thinking that it is actually making a difference on our streets.

There is no lack of information on the cameras. They have been in Europe and Austrailia for years; and are now making their way around the world. New York and Washington DC have had them for several years and have more or less served as guinea pigs for the American market. Now that other cities are seeing dollar signs, with limited resistance from the population, camera vendors are now making their way to city council meetings across the nation.

My intent here is to show my visitors the information and stories from across the world regarding photo enforcement. Here is where you are going to see the stories which show the side of the cameras that city officials and camera vendors hope you don’t find. Be sure to see the category links which show that ACCIDENTS RISE rather than lessen; and show the inaccuracy and CAMERA PROBLEMS which show that they are hardly perfect and often used just for the MONEY MONEY MONEY.

If nothing else, you can find the whole story about the cameras in this one story from Washington DC’s The Weekly Standard “Inside the District’s Red Lights” This story is from 2002 and gives a great overall look at the history of the cameras, the problems, the money, etc all in one convientent story.

Whether you buy Photoblocker or not is unimportant. Knowledge is the key mission and Photoblocker is the only defense against the cameras. If you think you don’t need it….. well….."YOU" can only be the judge on that.

Middletown, Ohio - Accidents Increase with Red Light Cameras.

Red light cameras installed at eight intersections Middletown, Ohio have failed to reduce accidents, according to a review of data by the Middletown Journal newspaper. At a number of intersections, accidents have skyrocketed.

At Roosevelt and Wicoff, for example, there were four rear-end accidents and one unsafe lane change collision before cameras became active. After cameras were installed, the number jumped to seven rear-end crashes and ten other collisions.

Middletown activated the cameras on April 10, 2005 despite a downward trend in accidents. City officials had not even studied whether collisions were occurring because of red light running. As of May 31, the city has collected $547,718.50 in revenue, with camera vendor Peek Traffic taking a $356,984.55 cut. A total of 7797 tickets worth $100 each have been mailed out.
