CNBC Tells Viewers How to Avoid Speed Camera and Red-Light Camera Tickets
Drivers have long complained that they have received a speeding ticket in the mail when they were not actually speeding. Now there is plenty of evidence that those complaints are valid according to recent studies and media reports. CNBC reported today that one company has developed a simple way for innocent drivers to protect themselves from inaccurate traffic cameras.
Major cities around the world continue to install red-light cameras and radar speed cameras even though problems with the units continue to mount, and recent studies clearly show the cameras cannot be relied on.
A report on Feb. 18 on CNBC by reporter Jane Wells showed one company that has found a way to help innocent drivers who were victims of faulty cameras and got speeding or red-light tickets. David Bresnahan, spokesman for the company, is an expert on the problem that has angered drivers on six continents.
“The cameras on red lights have been proven to actually cause accidents, and the speed cameras have been proven to be giving out tickets to people who do not deserve them. The current scandal in Australia is just the latest of many stories about faulty cameras,” said Bresnahan.
PhotoBlocker has been created to give drivers a chance to protect themselves against tickets they do not deserve.
“An innocent driver who gets one of these inaccurate tickets faces the challenge of time off from work, perhaps hiring a lawyer, and trying to find a way to prove the camera is wrong. That task is so intimidating that most people just pay the fine and move on with life. PhotoBlocker (tm) is the best defense so that doesn’t happen again,” said Bresnahan. 
Wells stated on CNBC that a diligent effort was made to contact many police departments, and none of them were able to prove that PhotoBlocker (tm) did not work or that it was illegal.
In his interview on CNBC, Bresnahan said that PhotoBlocker is an example of finding a need and filling it.
“This is a simple, inexpensive spray can. Just spray it on your license plate and that’s it. It puts a clear coating on the plate that does not obstruct in any way your ability to see the plate with the naked eye. However, when a red-light or speed camera takes a picture the flash causes the plate to be unreadable in the picture. If they cannot read the plate they cannot send you a ticket, and you are not stuck with the problem of proving you are innocent,” explained Bresnahan.
Studies that were presented in Washington, D.C. by researchers Forrest Council and Bhagwant Persaud, conclude that rear-endings have gone up nearly 15 percent after cameras were installed in seven cities, with injuries from such accidents up 24 percent, according to a report in the New York Times. Motorists who are worried about getting tickets from the traffic-light cameras hit the breaks when the light turns yellow and get rear-ended, according to the report.
Tests conducted in England determined that the average speed camera is off by at least 5 mph. A driver traveling the correct speed could receive a ticket in the mail, which motorists have complained about for years but did not have proof until now.
“The 5 mph error margin and the Australian bus incident brings into question how many innocent motorists have been ticketed and have no ability to defend themselves. In fact, it brings every single speed camera in the world into question,” said Bresnahan.
Bresnahan says PhotoBlocker (tm) is not intended for those who want to break the law. He claims it is only intended to help innocent drivers avoid the inconvenience and expense of receiving a ticket that is not deserved.
PhotoBlocker has been the subject of reports on CNBC and in the New York Times, Washington Post, Washington Times, NewsMax.com, WorldNetDaily.com, NBC, CBS, ABC News, Tech TV, Norwegian TV, Dutch TV, Washington Times, UK’s Daily Mail and many, many more. To date conclusive tests were conducted by the Denver Police Department, Dutch Police, Fox News, Swedish TV, Australian TV, British TV and others on six continents.
