polarized license plate covers
has anyone had or know of anyone having any success in beating these pesky red light cameras by using a polarized license plate covers or the spray on polarized spray, I'm not advocating the use of th...

Those that say don't beat them, must not know the physics behind the red light cameras. Especially the ones on a left turn lane. When they install the cameras and shorten the yellow light time, you can't stop in time.

That web page doesn't seem like it was written by a very emotionally balanced person.
"Traffic engineers systematically misapply a physics formula to yellow light durations. Engineers' ignorance of what the formula means and their misapplication of the formula yield practices that violate physical laws of Nature. The specific law they violate is the equation of motion "a = dv/dt." The violation, "2a = dv/dt", forces all drivers to habitually run red lights."
Huh? Traffic engineers don't understand basic kinematics? Habitual speeding by drivers may make it difficult for them to stop in time, but that's not the traffic engineer's fault.
