    the winning mod to this would be to hook up one of those sensors that you see on pro photographer strobes that let all the big strobes slave to the flash on the camera. when the device detects the flash of the speed camera, black out.

    of course, that would defeat the whole safety purpose of speed cameras, and that would be wrong, so just forget i said anything. #speedcameras

    Don't tell these guys about Hokey-Spokes. They're for bicycles but I'm sure they could be easily modded for cars. You can program all sorts of weird-ass designs and even text. My Coupe Z wheels are all going to say, "PAH!!!" as I roll down the street missing the rear-bumper.

    Wasn't there a story about a guy who wears a Monkey Mask while driving, and got out of 45 moving violations by saying it cant be proven that he was driving when the violations took place?

    Wouldn't that just be cheaper, and less illegal, than this? #speedcameras

    I'll take two. Since Wisconsin is one of a few States that requires front and rear plates. #speedcameras

    Not particularly useful for those looking to block cops from looking up their license plate or blocking traffic cameras. Needs to be automatic. #speedcameras

    To bad it just blacks it out. How much for one that makes it look like a totally different plate? Or better yet, replaces it with the Laughing Man logo? #speedcameras

    @Ben Wojdyla: like, automatically? Well godddammit, that's worth it then! That is some high technology. After all, auto-retracting car antennas have only been around since what, the early 80's?

    What potential cotomers really need is a metal spike that extends forwards from the driver's headrest, and another one rearwards from the steering wheel. #gadgets

    I could see this in an application that you need to light the tires as you inspect or change a flat...but I agree ...FAIL.

    Along with that HORRIBLE advertising, scrolling, voting panel truck that was driving up Street Rd some nights ago. Motion, video and light on a panel van, moving??? If I were a cop, I issue 4 moving violations and my nightstick hidden in the lowest sphincter... #gadgets
