"Big Brother" Strikes Again

I don’t know if it really works or not but, we have a fleet customer whose shop is on known speed camera trap. He got tired of his guys getting tickets, so he put computer monitor privacy screens on the plates of his trucks. He did modify them. He says that he hasn’t had any tickets since. I’ve seen them. You have to be right in front of the plate to see clearly. They’re black if look at them from other angles. Not sure what the legal word is. Probably not in his favor.
In Memphis they use cameras mounted on the traffic lights to capture people running red lights and cite them through the mail. One guy had an image reflecting film on his plate and ran lots of red lights. When they eventually caught him, he was fined for every instance his car was captured using the blocking film as an illegal act as stated in the vehicle laws. His fines ran into the range of $50,000 and he lost his license.
