Is this a red light camera blocker?

I pulled in a parking lot behind this guy yesterday.   Not sure if you can tell from the photo, but the area around the license plate was entirely mirrored.  In the bottom center of the plate a hole was drilled in the license plate that was larger than a quarter, maybe a silver dollar.  Whoa!



Either he had a serious "bling" addiction, or he was up to something.  I couldn't tell what.  It looked like some of the things I discussed in my other posts on building a red light/speed camera blocker.   I was considering making some small holes in my plate for lights.

I took a photo with a flash and without a flash on a cloudy day, from inside my car.   As you can see there were no lights or flashback.  However the car was not running so maybe they were off.  If he was just relying on the mirror it didn't work!   Sorry about posting your license plate on the web dude, but it was so outrageous I had to do it.

  1. I'd put my money on a simple back-up camera... albeit a bit moronic for going through the plate (probably illegal as well)
