WASHINGTON, D.C. - There is no safety benefit from red light
cameras at intersections, according to a report in the
Washington Post, and innocent drivers continue to receive
tickets.
Red light cameras have been used in the nation's capital for six
years. In that time over 500,000 citations have been issued
through the mail, generating over $32 million in revenue from
fines.
In that same period of time accidents at the 45 intersections
where the enforcement cameras are mounted went up from 365 per
year to 755 per year - more than double. Injury and fatal
crashes went up 81 percent, and broadside collisions jumped 30
percent during that same time period. The results were published
in the Washington Post.
The cameras were installed based on the promise of elected
officials that safety improvement was their goal and
expectation. Emphatic declarations were made that pursuit of
revenue was not a motivating factor.
Other published reports show that red light and speed cameras
make frequent errors, sending tickets to innocent motorists.
There are frequent reports that drivers are getting tickets for
making a right turn on red, or that the yellow light was so
short that drivers could not stop in time.
Other news stories have reported instances in which tickets were
sent to the wrong person because the license plate number could
not be read in the photograph.
The technology involved is not perfect, yet fighting a ticket is
nearly impossible. Motorists are required to give up a day of
work, pay a lawyer, and suffer unnecessary stress if they want
to appeal a ticket. It is easier and less expensive to just pay
the ticket rather than fight it.
Drivers have lost confidence in the faulty technology and are
turning to a simple method of self-defense - PhotoBlocker (tm)
spray.
PhotoBlocker (tm) is an aerosol spray that when applied to a
license plate does not in any way alter the appearance of the
plate to the naked eye, but the flash picture from a red-light
camera or speed camera makes the number on the plate unreadable.
"The cost in time and money to defend yourself against a faulty
red light or speed camera ticket is excessive, so drivers would
rather use our spray to save money by preventing the unjust
tickets. We want our roads to be safe, and we do not encourage
anyone to break the law. But we know how frustrating it is to
get a ticket you do not deserve," explained Joe Scott of
PhotoBlocker.com.
The demand for cans of PhotoBlocker (tm) spray grows steadily
every month, with sales of over 350,000 cans protecting over 1.5
million vehicles on six continents.
"We get calls, e-mails and letters from many professionals who
are very happy with the effectiveness of PhotoBlocker spray.
Journalists, doctors, lawyers, firefighters, teachers, and
judges themselves have resorted to using PhotoBlocker spray to
avoid entrapment," said Scott.
The company is located in Harrisburg, Pa. and has a web site at
