How to get your enemy using new police and city-money raising tactics via redlight cameras and speeding cameras - or just how to never get a ticket from a police camera.
13 states have speeding cameras and 27 have redlight cameras. These are bringing in massive sums for municipalities (and causing a lot of rear-end collisions as people slam on their brakes at the awkward moment with a light turns yellow).
To get around not having to prove the owner was the driver (you cannot be held criminally responsible for how others use your property), such tickets generally are civil offenses - like a parking ticket.
There are lists to be found stating where it is known such cameras are - though the lists have to be constantly updated as thousands are being added each month.
Here's how to use "the law" to get your enemy.
1. Rent a car or trade in yours and get the same make, model and color.
2. Anywhere, take pictures of license plates until you have that person's license's letters and numbers.
3. Glue up the plate and then photocopy that paste up on photo paper at any copy shop with his/her license plate number.
4. Spray both sides with a couple coats of semi-gloss clear for water protection and do the same for poster board or just use thin foam board.
5. Put that on you car that is identical to theirs. Cops would not detect the difference while you were driving between a real plate and that copy. If you dirty it up just a bit they wouldn't likely detect the difference even on a stop.
6. If you want to do it perfectly, install a license plate flipper. You would flip it to their plate only at the cameras.
Now just drive around any large metro area speeding up to 12 mph over at speed-cameras and run redlights at light-cameras. Police don't work those for radar or red lights anyway because the camera is there.
Metro areas tend to have a dozen or more suburban cities - each with their own court system and own cameras.
One day, your enemy has 27 letters from 7 municipalities. The next day, 14 more from 4 more. Then 8 from still 3 more, plus more from the first ones. Within 2 weeks, they have 137 letters from 23 different cities - and it just keeps on growing. Day after week after month. Dozens of tickets becomes hundreds, and the list of cities grows. They can't arrest you. But they can impound your car. They can put a lien on your house. They can do civil seizures and forfeitures. And in some states freeze you driver's license and prevent you getting tags for your car too.
What can your enemy do about it? He/she would have to dispute them - and in each individual court. But dispute them how? It's not about providing an alibias for yourself (I can prove I was at work), you must prove it wasn't your car/truck. How do you do that? Even if you can, you have to go to each court for a day even to do that.
Finally, your enemy replaces his car/truck - but within a month it has started up again as you also trade in the one you have for another one identical to his/her. And you not only could do that in their state, but 23 other states too. So a person in New York could get 312 tickets from 41 different California courts, 107 from 28 Oregon courts, etc. as you just went on a 2 week driving tour of the West Coast. Heck, if they have a typical late model car, just fly around renting them. It would be a nightmare for your enemy that he/she could never stop year after year.
What is scary? It wouldn't even have to be an enemy of yours doing this to you. It could just be someone with a similar car that doesn't want tickets and spots yours parked at the mall - and decides to use your plate numbers to prevent tickets. Think no one would ever do this? If people will spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on detectors, use camera shields and paint etc, it is predictable some will opt instead for this very easy method of avoiding 100% of redlight and speeding camera tickets.
With this obvious possibility, do you support cities using redlight and speeding cameras?
