This is a common technique for sellers of these type of products. They take a pic using a camera with certain settings, lighting, distance etc. Many have bought these products and still been caught as the gatso's. You'd need a pic from a camera that is like the camera in a gatso, taken at however high gatsos are (to get the right angle/distance that the pic is taken at etc.) and so on to show whether these things work. Some pics blur the plate a little but the number is still readable.

That's not to say there aren't devices/sprays/film etc. that don't work, however I wouldn't be convinced by a quick photo in a car park. Maybe the seller of the product would like to prove it by driving HIS car through a number of gatso's

So much easier and cheaper to slow down through the gatsos. Simple, effective and legal

Nah, keep over 130.

Apparently, that's too quick for 'em!
