<VV> FW: Radar & Front Plates

[Shelrockbored at aol.com]

When traffic signal camera enforcement became common I started seeing ads  
and hearing "'heard tell' stories" about "magic sprays" one could spray on a 
 licence plate to foil everything from radar to traffic enforcement  
cameras.  I was wondering when the license plate cover would  surface on this 
thread.
 
I know many people do it but in New York (and I would assume elsewhere) it  
is illegal to cover your licence plate, tag etc. with ANYTHING.  It would  
probably be difficult to find a cover in New York.  If you're caught the  
fine is much greater than a camera summons.  I "heard tell" of one  wise-guy 
who got his car impounded.  It's easier and cheaper to  just obey the law.
 
In New York so long as one is not driving like a maniac the cops  generally 
tolerate 70 MPH out on the highway.  In NYC one can get away  with 60 to 65 
(Speed limit on highways is 50 MPH - 45 on some like the BQE  I-278) 
assuming you can find an open highway with no traffic on it to allow  that kind of 
speed.  Lack of heavy traffic doesn't exist  between 7:00 AM and 11:00 AM 
and then again between 3:00 PM and 10:00 PM on  a weekday.

Given none of these work, why would you want  one?

I saw  a BMW a few days ago that had a cover over the plate that made it  
impossible to read unless you were looking straight at it.  Anyone  know 
where to 
get  one?
