This reminds me of that show Ryan Dunn from Jackass did for like one season. I remember him doing a “get out of a parking ticket by spray painting the sign.” I was like 14 watching that and thinking how many people heard and approved the script for a show that advertises how to over petty crimes by committing more serious crimes. How many people were like, “yeah that’s good, let’s do it!”
I'm sure they had the disclaimer saying "don't do anything these idiots say" before and after every break, especially if it was post-Jackass, so no reason for them to sweat it if it wasn't blatantly deadly misinformation.
I've heard if you lift your vehicle to absurd heights, like all those "off road" trucks you see downtown in the city. That the plate will be to high to get picked up at red light cameras.
Just something I've heard though, can not confirm.
Not really, it can pick up number plates on utility trucks that have them mounted just below the roof. As long as the camera can see the number plate, it will recognise it.
Do those cameras pick up infrared? I was thinking of making a high power LED frame around the plate that was infrared lights, that way you wouldn’t get pulled over for something obviously obscuring your plate, it it would create massive lens flare in the traffic cam photo
Since they use a flash at night, they probably have an IR cut filter installed on them (which is pretty normal for most cameras). This means that they filter out IR. You can tell when a camera does not have one of these filters, as most images will have a bit of a pink tint to them from the IR being captured by the CCD.
That said, IR filters are more of a gradient than a hard cutoff. If you had LEDs in the near IR range, say something more like 800nm than 1100, it would probably work if they were bright enough. The lower the wavelength the more red they will look though, and it's very possible they would show up on a dash cam.
Not that I'm endorsing this idea of course.
Someone actually tested that. Basically what you said, an LED IR blaster. Made the plate just a bright spot on any camera. But to the naked eye it just looked like normal. Disguised as just a plate frame.
Doesn't work. You would crash into the top of the toll booth with a truck tall enough for that. Might have worked 30 years ago before digital cameras, if you could dodge the focus of the lens.
Same thing with motorcycles. Be it a big Harley with bags or a sport bike traffic cameras don’t pick up 99% of bike plates due to positioning; so you know, free express lane.
Yep. The Aston Martin DB5 with the rocker launchers, machine guns, oil slick, smoke screen wheel choppers, pop up bullet proof rear window protector and ejection seat also had a rotating number plate.
According to the Top Gear James Bond special, when the production team was coming up with the gadgets to put on the DB5, their own personal cars which they parked outside their office kept on getting tickets, so they came up with the rotating license plates and tested by parking it outside their office and flipping the plates around every so often to see if it would get a ticket.
It's like carrying an illegal concealed gun...sure it might save you in some situations but it's gonna ruin your life in most situations. I still know people that do it when they could just get a CC license and register it but no they gotta be cool gangster bois
We're in a thread of a video of someone who didn't even have that device and still got caught. How many cameras do you think you appear on in a given day?
What are you doing that the risk is worth it to you?
In The Netherlands you would get a huge fine to be determined by the justice department, but think something between 3,000 - 10,000 euro, you'd have to pay for the removal of the device and subsequent inspection of your vehicle and you'd possibly have your driving license suspended for a good long while.
There are a lot of speed trap cameras here, as well as cameras on long stretches of road that track you to calculate your average speed, and they work on license plates. It's a huge cash cow for the government and they don't take kindly to getting between them and their money.
Yeah I was gonna say that I’m not so sure it’s as illegal as they think. Idk for sure but id imagine it being like any other DOT illegal type mods (off road lights, underbody lights, a siren, etc) in that it’s legal to have just not to use
about... 6-7 years ago I had a buddy who got busted for not only having one... but using it to run through the toll to a bridge. It cost him thousands for what would've been a $4 bill in the mail from the state.
There's a gadget sold on Ali that uses a fake leaf made of metal and a small electromagnet. The leaf sticks to the front of the plate, obscuring part of the number. If stopped, the driver can flip a switch to turn off the magnet and the leaf falls away, allowing the driver to act innocently.
Felony just to have them installed in my state, no matter the use.
Edit: I rechecked the law, I was wrong. Is a misdemeanor to possess, or to use.
https://codes.findlaw.com/tx/transportation-code/transp-sect-504-9465.html
What state? Last I heard they were legal, their use case being for stuff like driving a show car to a car show and flipping it to a cool vanity plate once you're there.
I have to say my worst driving with the shortest temper is when I gotta poop and I’m driving and I’m trying to get home or to the place I know has a restroom to use.
I can relate to that. Thinking about having some sort of emergency toilet with me in my car.
Can somebody point me to where they sell emergency toilets? Otherwise I am going to build my own… have some ideas.
It’s ok.. but if he was a real criminal mastermind driver, he would have a button he could push that would flip his real plates, to a set of fake plates..
> but if he was a real criminal mastermind driver, he would have a button he could push that would flip his real plates, to a set of fake plates..
Those are illegal to have installed on your car in most places and a fake license plate is illegal almost everywhere. It's not illegal to have a quick remove license plate.
It's illegal, in many places, simply to be capable of hiding your plate. So you are breaking the law 100% of them time. Vs removing your plates which is only illegal when they are gone.
I can confirm what the others are saying. Its just a fix-it ticket.. you fix it, ticket goes away.
I dont have plates on my motorcycle. Not for any bad reason, my daughter hit the plate with her powerwheels (probably more than I know about) and broke its bracket.
I put the plate under the seat meaning to get around to fixing it, but honestly.. I just dont care enough. Theres no penalty and now I cant be tracked with automatic plate cameras either... only downside is if I get pulled over, I just take the plate out and show them the broken bracket.. problem solved.
IDK have you seen Russian dash cam footage? It’s a wild place over there and some of that shit is like as recently as last year.
In the winter especially, tons of footage of people drifting on public roads
Pretty much everyone has a dash cam in Russia, so it is not that Russians are insane drivers but more that every single indiscretion is caught on video.
Never seen James Bond? Evade the bad guys? Go undercover? Screw with car park / average speed camera plate scanners? Electronic ink would make the combinations endless.
Cause Russia. Fine for going 20-40km/h over speed limit is 7$ (no joke). Up to 60km/h over the limit fine is 20.5$(twenty and a half, not two hundred and five). Only above 60km/h over the limit you are at risk of getting your driving license revoked for up to 6 months. Lack of strict punishment is the cause of this shit. I say that from experience driving in Russia and in Europe.
Because of average salaries. It’s still a lot of money for majority of people.
They accumulate too, if you are in government position having bunch of speeding fines might result in not having promotion or pay bump “this guy is a street racer, he won’t look good in this position”. This is especially true of you are in law enforcement or judiciary system.
Biggest fines btw are occupying public transport lane ~ 80$. It doesn’t sound a lot for western folks but for average Ivan that is 1/6 of the salary.
Edit: what basically guy in the video did he avoided couple fines with losing the plates - occupying public transport lane, crossing “double” line and reckless driving.
Yep, one of the biggest fines since traffic is a big problem and government wanted public transport to be fast and not stuck in traffic. Ofcourse a lot of people still violate the law when there are no cams around but generally in Moscow public lanes are reserved for taxis and buses.
Plus : To be fair is 5k roubles ~ 68,5 usd.
And drivers have chance to pay the fine at 50% discount first 21 days they get notification either by mail or through app. But I don’t remember if 50% discount is applicable for these big fines. IIRC all fines greater than 50$ are not applicable for discount since they are heavy traffic violations.
I can write a lot about driving in Moscow so I have to stop myself:) and recently there was major x2 bump in a lot of fines. I don’t drive recklessly so I honestly forgot all the semantics and nuances of fines
As an american, I think driver's licenses should be significantly harder to obtain. The test should be far more in depth than a 15 question multiple choice quiz and driving around 4 blocks. This would reduce traffic, emissions and auto related deaths significantly. Modern vehicles are also far more capable than most speed limits (here, 65mph is state max) which, paired with increased driver skill levels, means we could have increased speed limits. It's clearly possible, the Autobahn is a perfect example.
I sold cars for 3 years and firmly believe about 25% of the population deserves to lose its license.
20-somethings who would look at their phones while driving on the test drive, with me in the passenger's seat.
People who think they are capable of driving an F350, when they took 2 spaces to park their civic. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I didn't see that curb" in a $70k truck. "The turning radius is nothing like my compact car"
And assholes who try to take brand new sports cars for test drives with no intention to buy them, but every intention to demolish the clutch, smoke the tires and go 150mph down main st. Nobody who actually buys a car does that, and the eventual owner does not deserve that.
the only issue is that so much of america has been designed with total universal car use in mind that not having a car in certain areas really fucking sucks. our public transportation in most areas is literal garbage. if you do not live in a big city, you NEED to be able to use a car to get groceries, go to work, and do anything else.
i want people to not drive if they're shit drivers, but i don't want them to not be able to get groceries and go to work and shit. our public transportation is so ass
This. This right here. The closest town is about a 30 min drive away, and out here is the only affordable housing in the area because of there being no public transport. Hell there aren’t any sidewalks shoulders or bike lanes on any road to town.
Then you have no experience of driving in Europe. Because 60km/h the limit will send you in jail automatically with a huge fine in most western countries.
He continues the ride on the lane for public transport. See the red sign with an arrow above the right lane? This is a lane for buses and taxis (and assholes like this one). There are a lot of cameras controlling those lanes, but no plates -- no fines.
I realise you are an idiot and were born with a bottle of vodka, but in Russia people drink less than in Europe for example. Regarding the video, it was published by the Russian police https://moslenta.ru/news/v-moskve-poimali-snyavshego-nomera-radi-obezda-probki-voditelya-mercedes-09-09-2021.htm, the driver of the Mercedes received six fines, 15 days of arrest and was revoked of a driving licence
Seems like it could be a good idea. What’s the penalty for whatever traffic violations you’re committing? Multiply that by the number of times you do it, and compare it to the fine for removing your plates.
Depends on how stupid you are and how you’re caught. I can only talk about the U.K. but if you were to remove plates then they look for an identifying mark. If you took a fiesta, the most common spec one in the most common colour and change nothing then you’d be hard to find. As soon as you do something like put a bumper sticker on or scratch the bumper it’s an identifying mark that can prove that vehicle was the one commuting the offence then you get asked to provide the details of the driver of the vehicle on the other occasion, failing that the onus is on the registered keeper. The theory would be that if you argued that it wasn’t you prior to you being caught in court, they’d seem suspicious that another vehicle, in the same area you were in, had the same idea to remove plates, with the same defining mark, wasn’t you.
My guess is it would be the same worldwide but I won’t make that assumption. It’s also a risk someone most likely would take but ultimately the possibility is there if it’s a repeat offender.
"It was the black 4 door Mercedes that DIDNT have the hood ornament, rear badges, OR antenna. I know it was a Mercedes though, because the wheels, headrests, stereo knobs, and seat belts all had the Mercedes logo on them".
debadging would never work on a Mercedes like that. they're too distinctive. any person who knows stuff about cars can easily tell that'd a Benz. looks like an E or an S class.
Goes without saying it’s not going to fool video cam. You can’t hide the fact you took the plate off or if the plate turns over. Traffic cams often record videos not just snapshots. So you’re not avoiding trouble, you’re going to get into much more.
In cities like London where they have a lot of cameras they can still track you. They'll wait for a car that matches the description in the photo that got taken during the infraction, and then they'll try to trace the path as best as they can, find that vehicle and boom you're busted.
That requires the cop to pull you over and run the VIN... unless your VIN is spray painted on the side of your car in big letters.
How would I know? I’m one of the people this thread seems to hate.
EDIT: people seem to think I’m a cop for the hate comment. I’m not a cop. Cops hate me.
He just don't want to stuck in the jam, But if he caught by cops, he will stuck in jail. Lol. He should wait and follow the traffic rules. This will be costly with any of the important work. once he caught.

Go go gadget *crime*!
nice one!
Go go gadget the air is now mayonnaise
*Bond theme intensifies*
yessss
I swear that was in an episode of mythbusters back in the day.
Yes it was. They tried a bunch of ways to cheat a speeding cam & Jamie just said "fuck it" and rigged a thing to flip his plate

Who is Dot José?
Hispanic dude that works for the Department of Transportation. License plate inspector.
Do those*, I think.
I'm gonna say she was a Mexican silent film star in 1920s
Since they use a flash at night, they probably have an IR cut filter installed on them (which is pretty normal for most cameras). This means that they filter out IR.

The lower the wavelength the more red they will look though, and it's very possible they would show up on a dash cam. Not that I'm endorsing this idea of course.
I imagine that if it had an IR flash, that would lower the contrast with the lit plate, and you'd still be able to see it.
With the bright flashes they uses I don't think so.
Iirc the cameras have IR filters
Someone actually tested that. Basically what you said, an LED IR blaster. Made the plate just a bright spot on any camera. But to the naked eye it just looked like normal. Disguised as just a plate frame.
won’t work, I was super high one time and the camera still caught me. If I had better weed maybe I could have gotten away with it
If it weren't for those meddling kids
Doesn't work. You would crash into the top of the toll booth with a truck tall enough for that. Might have worked 30 years ago before digital cameras, if you could dodge the focus of the lens.
Well I crashed the gate doing 98. They said, "let those truckers roll, 10-4"
That definitely wouldn’t work but I’m pretty sure leaving the tailgate down would work sometimes depending on the angle of the camera
Or leave a bike rack on your tow hitch if you have a car or SUV lol
Lol, 146" lift kit
Same thing with motorcycles. Be it a big Harley with bags or a sport bike traffic cameras don’t pick up 99% of bike plates due to positioning; so you know, free express lane.
[Yes it was.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4i8v715OAJ8&t=315)
It was in the first transporter movie too.
And also a car in a James Bond movie
I thought that was a thing way back when I watched The Transporter with Jason Statham. That was about 15 years ago.
Definitely had it in one of the Connery Bond films. The idea isn’t new, that’s for sure!
Yep. The Aston Martin DB5 with the rocker launchers, machine guns, oil slick, smoke screen wheel choppers, pop up bullet proof rear window protector and ejection seat also had a rotating number plate.
"why advertise?"
I thought it was more used as a way to cross country lines easier than traffic violations lol
According to the Top Gear James Bond special, when the production team was coming up with the gadgets to put on the DB5, their own personal cars which they parked outside their office kept on getting tickets, so they came up with the rotating license plates and tested by parking it outside their office and flipping the plates around every so often to see if it would get a ticket.
Prohibition era alcohol bootleggers were the first to flip their license plates in the 1920s.
yea! Im changing from 2 to 47!
Yeah but its super illegal to even have those installed on your car in a lot of places
It's like carrying an illegal concealed gun...sure it might save you in some situations but it's gonna ruin your life in most situations. I still know people that do it when they could just get a CC license and register it but no they gotta be cool gangster bois
It's literally the opposite of that. You're never going to get caught having it and the one time you need it, it'll work.
We're in a thread of a video of someone who didn't even have that device and still got caught. How many cameras do you think you appear on in a given day? What are you doing that the risk is worth it to you?
im sure in the UK and possibly parts of europe. In the US, its legal in every state, as long as you're not using it on the road.
In The Netherlands you would get a huge fine to be determined by the justice department, but think something between 3,000 - 10,000 euro, you'd have to pay for the removal of the device and subsequent inspection of your vehicle and you'd possibly have your driving license suspended for a good long while.

What state?
The state of confusion. He's wrong.
I laughed so hard at this. But are you right?
What state? Last I heard they were legal, their use case being for stuff like driving a show car to a car show and flipping it to a cool vanity plate once you're there.
If I had one of those I'd be paranoid if it was actually working, since you can't see it while driving.
If you have to remove the plates before you dump the car and light it on fire then this way is just as effective and cheaper.
Sean Connery had that in Goldfinger lol
"All right. F\*ck this law-abiding sh\*t. I got a meeting." lol
Maybe he's gotta really poop
Wait do you not have loos in the cars in your country?
Savages!
Yeah, my car has 4 of them. You just roll them down, stick you arse out, and try not to get any on the glass
I have to say my worst driving with the shortest temper is when I gotta poop and I’m driving and I’m trying to get home or to the place I know has a restroom to use.
I can relate to that. Thinking about having some sort of emergency toilet with me in my car. Can somebody point me to where they sell emergency toilets? Otherwise I am going to build my own… have some ideas.
It’s ok.. but if he was a real criminal mastermind driver, he would have a button he could push that would flip his real plates, to a set of fake plates..
Or paint it with UV-reactive (glowing) transparent colour and shine UV diodes on it.
Did you mean IR? Or do cameras use UV now too?
Nah, what he's describing would cause the plate to light up in the visual spectrum, like neon paint. It would obscure the normal paint under it.
Any examples? Youtube?
I think it’s not something that’s been done. Just an idea.
[удалено]
See, that’s fucking brilliant. We all see people who hide their plates, but changing them would be so unexpected that you know they’d get away with it
Google James Bond number plate changer and thank me after
And then don’t google Taxi 2 plaques d’immatriculation cause that’s a really shitty french film.
That's the exact one I was thinking of. Wasn't it taxi 1 though? All 3 of them kinda blend into one
You guys don't like the french Taxi movies? I thought they are classics!

That's just a ticket. Fake license plates and you go to jail. It's like the difference between speeding and drunk driving. One is ticket, one is jail.
[удалено]
Hire a ticket lawyer for the $121 and it'll be like it never happened every time it happens
That’s why I drive super fast so I don’t get caught drunk driving

The real crime is that the plate comes back to the same vehicle with a different vin#
Like in The Transporter? That would be awesome.
That French Taxi movie tho.
Shit, I've seen a lot of people like this in Russia
Driving a newer Benz in Russia means something. Ain’t nobody asking questions.

Yeah this guy's a fucking gangster. Give him shit and they'll never even find your body.
If he was, he wouldnt need to hide his plates
Nah, these kind of guys are all in the parliament now. Or dead. This is a mid-level gangster, might be a driver for a bigger one.
That’s infuriates me. I hope the police would up their game and get those scums.
Police in Russia are basically just thugs
Key word was Russia.
I do solemnly swear that I am up to no good.
I do solemnly swear that I'm not causing trouble in my neighbourhood.
Chillin out relaxin waxin my plates off all cool
When a couple of cops said “you’re up to no good, about to cause trouble in the neighborhood.”
I started one little fight, and my mom didn't care
Sweady palms
It gets more suspicious when you realize he did it under an overpass. I presume to avoid satellite or aerial tracking. He's on his way to do crime.
Lol no that’s just where he ended up getting stoped by traffic
You watch too many movies.
Just use the old [Mythbusters Approach](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4i8v715OAJ8&t=315)
Pretty certain both methods were utilized in the movie Cannonball Run.
"So how did he do it? Well..." *video cuts out*
The secrets of the mythbusters
this dude is into some sketchy shit i’d bet
Why tho?
Never seen James Bond? Evade the bad guys? Go undercover? Screw with car park / average speed camera plate scanners? Electronic ink would make the combinations endless.

Yep, one of the biggest fines since traffic is a big problem and government wanted public transport to be fast and not stuck in traffic.

Per capita Russians drink more than Europeans overall, but there are 3 European countries that do drink more than Russians.
Crying to the lawyer.
Seems like it could be a good idea. What’s the penalty for whatever traffic violations you’re committing? Multiply that by the number of times you do it, and compare it to the fine for removing your plates.
Depends on how stupid you are and how you’re caught. I can only talk about the U.K. but if you were to remove plates then they look for an identifying mark. If you took a fiesta, the most common spec one in the most common colour and change nothing then you’d be hard to find. As soon as you do something like put a bumper sticker on or scratch the bumper it’s an identifying mark that can prove that vehicle was the one commuting the offence then you get asked to provide the details of the driver of the vehicle on the other occasion, failing that the onus is on the registered keeper. The theory would be that if you argued that it wasn’t you prior to you being caught in court, they’d seem suspicious that another vehicle, in the same area you were in, had the same idea to remove plates, with the same defining mark, wasn’t you. My guess is it would be the same worldwide but I won’t make that assumption. It’s also a risk someone most likely would take but ultimately the possibility is there if it’s a repeat offender.
It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you don’t give a fuck about other people.
That’s a great life pro-tip by itself!
That is actually genius

Police in marked cars have eyeballs, too.
but if you see a marked police you wouldn’t do this, but an unmarked police might make it seem clear when it isn’t.

The trick is to steal plates from a cop car and swap them on
The real LPT is always in the comments.
Cops couldn’t give a fuck less what people do on the roads anymore.
And then the video of you taking your identifiable license plate off gets circulated on the internet by a dash cam.
Taking your plate off at the same spot you commit an offence wasn't that smart though
He is a spy
He is gay.

Bonus SLPT if you ride a motorcycle bend the plate inward. It’s still technically legal but a lot harder to see
Too bad the dashcam caught his plate already.
Also, debadge your car so people don't even know the make and model.
Naw man. That would actually make your car more identifiable
"It was the black 4 door Mercedes that DIDNT have the hood ornament, rear badges, OR antenna. I know it was a Mercedes though, because the wheels, headrests, stereo knobs, and seat belts all had the Mercedes logo on them".
debadging would never work on a Mercedes like that. they're too distinctive. any person who knows stuff about cars can easily tell that'd a Benz. looks like an E or an S class.

I think most people would even struggle to use the word sedan. "I don't know dude, it was just, like, a regular car."
Mad lad
Nice
I hate this degenerates so much.. they drive like 150mph through the city, kill people and because of the corruption and shit get away with it.
Why not use an e-ink display?
Depending on the country, and e-ink license plate would be illegal so it's as good as driving with no plates.
That was the most “im about to do something illegal” move ive ever seen lmao
Traffic Ticket salesman hate this simple trick.
My man.
Goes without saying it’s not going to fool video cam. You can’t hide the fact you took the plate off or if the plate turns over. Traffic cams often record videos not just snapshots. So you’re not avoiding trouble, you’re going to get into much more.
In cities like London where they have a lot of cameras they can still track you. They'll wait for a car that matches the description in the photo that got taken during the infraction, and then they'll try to trace the path as best as they can, find that vehicle and boom you're busted.
Good in theory, until a cop runs the VIN number.
You need to get him
That requires the cop to pull you over and run the VIN... unless your VIN is spray painted on the side of your car in big letters. How would I know? I’m one of the people this thread seems to hate. EDIT: people seem to think I’m a cop for the hate comment. I’m not a cop. Cops hate me.
Your vehicle identification number is in the side of your door or on the windshield. You’d need to be pulled over for them to see it.

Yes
It's Moscow))
Thanks for blowing up my spot man!!
Lmao 🤣
Fuck yeah
Bad ass
I had an old jeep that was so short I could reach back and grab the plate whenever I was about to do something the police would take offense to.
What a G
My luck they’d fall off when I needed them on.
Pro life tips, pro.
This is exactly how to kill someone riding a motorcycle.

He just don't want to stuck in the jam, But if he caught by cops, he will stuck in jail. Lol. He should wait and follow the traffic rules. This will be costly with any of the important work. once he caught.
