Hide Your License Plate from Cameras 

Has anyone seen these in public before?

Please keep working on this. If you figure out one that is undetectable in person, but blocks the cameras, that would be gold.

I have always added an inch wedge of plastic or wood behing the top of my lic plate . It tilts the plate down , bouncing the radar signal down, instead of back to the device. Does NOT "deface" or obstruct the plate!

"Can you read his plate number?" "Just look for the car with the four faux rocket engines on it"

Super illegal in Cali. Still, a better idea would be completely cover the plate in retroreflective glass spheres so any camera flash or headlight would simply overwhelm the camera sensor. This would also work against IR illuminators commonly used in ALPRs.

Cameras that ticket you should be illegal. You have a right to face your accuser. You cannot question a random notice they send in the mail based on a camera.

Definitely need something with more coverage. The roaches can potentially get a match from a partial number + car make + model. If there are any distinguishing features on your car, that will also help with a match.

what are those flower vented buckets on your trunk for?

How do you keep those buckets attached?

I needed this for Illinois' extortion roa-- I mean, toll roads! :)

You just saved me about $30,000 a year in tolls 😘😀👍

I can’t even figure how to take off the plastic cover on my license plate lol, this is dope.

When I worked as a motor officer in California, Steve Jobs (Apple) would drive his Mercedes two door roadster around without the plate. It was just a fix it ticket anyway, and he didn't want people knowing his license plate. You could always go that route.

In a lot of states even a clear plastic cover over your license plate is illegal and you can get pulled over for it edit a lot of people that try to hide their license plates are doing it to avoid paying tolls

I find it a lot easier to take the license plate off for when it’s required

"Educational purposes" my actions say otherwise 😂

Cops with lifted truck be like: COME HERE BOIIII

FYI, such frames are illegal in North Carolina.

Got pulled over doing this, don’t do it

This may work for surveillance cameras but, not traffic cameras. Tags have a chip that is read by the cameras. I verified this when I drove in an express lane with temporary new car tag and got a bill in the mail. It's the same technology police cars have to scan for expired tags, warrants, stolen car, etc.

The frenel piece will turn yellow due to uv light over time. I used one in Yuma AZ on my bike and it turned a ugly yellow real fast. It depends on how much sunlight it gets obviously but parking your vehicle when your at work for 3 months or so of time turned mine yellow. I even tried to park facing away from the sun as well.

Us as a while here in Michigan have done a good job at petitioning and voting down speed cameras twice so far. Once he can’t fight it anymore here is what I’ll be doing. 👍

Wait so dumb question lol. With the naked eye you would be able to see it normal as if noting were there? And also how would this do at night with headlights? Would it bounce back and look kinda funny or all normal?

Alternatively you could get polarized plastic. Often it's used to put on two computer screens so that people who are left or right of you cannot see the screen. In this case turn it 90 degrees so it's up and down. I'm pretty certain that Amazon sell it by the roll

When you see old digital TVs on the curb they have Fresnel lenses in them

need something like this you can turn on and off , as the dirty pigs will easily notice it when they are stalking you !

Use a hitch cargo rack with a cooler strapped on it. 😊

Does anyone know what's the stripe he used called ?

With police now on the lookout for these, one would need a really sneakily-designed visual 'stealth' one to get away with it. If it only covers part of the plate (i.e., the lettering segment), then shading/color contrast with the rest of the plate will give it away, as would any visual lettering distortion from looking at the plate at a ground-level side angle. And at night, there would need to be no unusual extra reflectivity from headlights behind one's vehicle.

If a cop notices that, and they will, you're getting pulled over to say the least.

Some places they use multiple cameras at different angles, so they would still get the entire plate. Also, illegal in many states.

Are the available for UK car reg plates ?

The po-po would definitely pull you over if they saw such a plate. They could tell by not being able to see from an angle.

Got pulled over late at night in Western New York as a DWI test and his excuse for pulling me over was because I had a clear cover protecting my vanity plate. Was told just a clear cover is illegal in NY.

We have red light cameras but they are wise to this - the camera that takes your tag pic is positioned so you are straight ahead of it instead of at the steep angle you showed. You know someone is nabbed when you see the flash go off. I'm surprised they don't use speed vans around here.

Thanks for making this informative and helpful video

Need it for all these license plate scanners

An array of infra-red LED's also works.

In some states, anything over your plate including a clear cover will get you a ticket. And when the officer sees what you have your car is impounded. Just walking by your car a cop will see it.. so your cost can be over a thousand dollars.

So I noticed the license plate cover had a curve to it. Would this work any different if the cover was flat?

Incredible, I learned a lot from this educational video!

FYI those cameras are designed to take photos at specific angles..if plate is angled both front and rear ...no photo....and still legal should a patrol unit sees you some will cite you for covers it's considered obscured vision. City of Carson calif does this as well as rims on vehicles if not stock

Whats the name of the material

There's this super-reflective spray-on stuff that is completely clear until it's hit with direct light, such as sunlight or a camera flash. You can also turn on your headlights and let your license plate lights shine on it.

When a cop sees it you'll get a expensive ticket.

Any way to keep switching it on and off? Besides unscrewing all the time?

I think that the plate number can be read , especially by those who operate those cameras, especially with today's technology

Now add them all together into the ultimate licenceplate blocker

Should i do this for both rear and front plate? I ordered one for the back. Not sure if the cameras also take pics of the front

Get those electric tints and turn it on when you run a red

Hide your plate from the cameras, get a massive ticket for your illegal plate cover if you ever get pulled over.

can u try using a reflective spray and testing it please

After my third speeding ticket I definitely need one. Sick of the government taking food out my family's mouth.

LOLz yous'Just'Gotta-luv those "...for educational purposes only..." kinda informative videos...🤣

I heard Clear Grip Tape for skateboards actually works for license plates. Maybe you could test that theory out next?

WHAT LENSE ?

What’s the charge and fine for getting caught with that on your license?

Would this work on a motorcycle

I'm all for beating these speed cameras theoretically. it's not fair to collect revenue when a state employee isn't even there. also, there are some shenanigans the transportation department is trying to pull that I think should be countered in the most civilly disobedient manner possible... in theory of course

You will get a ticket for using this.

Get one of those glass panes that turn opaque and set it to a switch. You'll have to know where the cameras are though. Don't do this of course lol.

To the point of how to make it better add explosive bolts to the license plate holder so that you can release it if you're going to get pulled over by the police just for testing purposes.

Will this work on a normal cctv camera?

If the stripes would be horizontal it wouldn’t be visible from straight angle either You can actually make yourself invisible to security cam by wearing some sort of pattern shirt, too !

And getting caught with this on your car is illegal.

I know this video is a couple years old, but as someone who runs their own ALPR license plate camera... you might prevent the *entire* plate from being visible, which would stop me from getting the entire plate, but believe me... if the police can identify the make/model of the car and have even a partial plate, they can find ya. Also keep in mind, with a fresnel lens, you can't see the entire tag number up high at close proximity, but I'm shooting tags at 130 feet away from the camera at a place where you have to either turn left or right, and there's a good 35 feet of focus. At that distance, the camera isn't elevated that far above. Also, it does still capture with an Ai reader, but if Ai fails to snag the tag, I can go back through frame by frame at 30fps and review. Also-- no, I'm not doing anything bad with this data, and it is completely legal for me to do this here. Two years ago some dirt bag was driving around my neighborhood (fairly nice, crime free area) stealing peoples halloween and Christmas decorations. Haven't had any incidents since I put up the plate cam, thankfully, but in the future.. don't come in my neighborhood doing dumb stuff.

In Florida they impound your car and a 30 day hold

I’m really confused. Here in Virginia, you are not required to pay any of the tickets from a red light camera. It even states at the bottom of the ticket. Failure to pay this fine will not negatively affect your credit or driving history. I know several people that have got them, never paid and nothing happened. If you ever get one of course read the fine print or check out the laws in your area. edit:I’d say it’s probably different in different states. So check your state laws.

Why don't you build a frame with privaglass in in front of the plate. There os allways a flash before the picture of your plate is taken, so the privaglass must be activated by a sensor.

Random but, do these work with flat covers?

Cameras still see you, your car and what you are doing..🤷‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Does anyone have a link to a place to buy the film? I can't seem to find it anywhere

People in Philly just take the plate completely off, smfh

Here in Alberta people simply use rear mounted bicycle hangers to obliterate the license plate and seem to get away with it, and the stupid thing is that in Alberta only one rear plate is required!

How to buy???

What about a hinge hidden behind the plate at the bottom and a hidden pull cable like off a bicycle brake going to the drivers position. Pull when required then return. Plate flips down, can't be read. Then flip it back.

How to get ticketed, fined, and potentially arrested in .02 seconds

Where can I buy

Does it work with phone cameras also?

These are illegal almost everywhere now

Anothed tip is don't watch Cannonball run before going to pick up your kids😂

Idk if you read comments. But I would give you whatever stainless you want. As long as it isn’t a lot. Also, you saddle could off been a lot easier.

Dude that lens is used to magnify light and start fires. It could literally start your car on fire in the right conditions 😂😂

"But remember, don't actually drive around with one of these on your car." BWAHAHAHA! Sounds like a pharmaceutical ad on TV saying "Don't take Wegovy if you are allergic to any of the ingredients." I love it.

What the exactly name of this device un ebay?

That’s a great idea. Your car looks awesome with the thrusters. Dare I say your a Star Wars fan!

Any kind of license plate cover in California will get you a citation for defective equipment. Usually $75 fine and then you need to go to a police station to show that the defective equipment (license plate cover) has been removed and corrected.

Another thing that works really well is to just slow down or not try to beat a red.

Several states prohibit any type of cover between the plate and open air. Even if it is absolutely clear. So, have a nice ticket if you do it. And of course, you provide Probable Cause to be pulled over.

Doing so in Spain and getting catched by a traffic cop (who could easily notice just by looking at the plate and moving a bit around) means a 6,000€ ticket, 6 license points (out of a maximum possible 15 points) and car impounding for illegal license plate alteration. Not a very good advice here.

almost every speed camera these days have this factored in how the cameras are positioned. they no longer place cameras at an acute angle to capture plates, sometimes the distance can be almost 200 feet before they snap the picture. this puts the plate more square to the camera nullifying the Fresnel effect. might as well put a big smiley face next to your plate, at least someone at traffic control may get a chuckle before they process your fine.

What the heck are those things attached to your car?... jet engines? Lol.

That's great until a cop gets behind you and sees it

Where can I get this ?

NICE!!

How do I go about ordering this product? I didn’t see anything about buying one from this video

Altering your licence plate is very illegal in most if not all jurisdictions. Although temporary, this method will amount to the same prosecution and penalties as any other kind of plate manipulation. The best way to avoid prosecution and heavy fines is to drive safely and legally. Driving is a privilege not a right.

This should work in Mexico for saving all the damn tolls

i cannot find this lens on ebay,especially the stick on one

DMV has an investigative division . If you get caught , you could be lookong at not just a fine, but losing your driving priveleges !
