on the subject of speed cameras.... has anyone ever done any research on the license plate sprays that supposedly makes the tag unreadable to the camera ?

Mythbusters did. The only ways to beat photo radar are:
1- Remove plates.
2-Exceed 160 mph.
Both of these systems have other problems.....

Rustoleum makes one, but you have to spray it on the camera rather than the plate.

You forgot the best method they had: Jamie's plate-spinner-arounder device. I want one.

But honestly, I wouldn't completely trust the results of Mythbusters.

Apparently, this stuff worked but it's now been taken off the Internet. Possibly had some legal threats...
Anything else, I'd only believe it worked if you could take pictures of the plate without a flash and I couldn't read the numbers.

Don't speed.
Don't blow red lights.
