    Most of us here use some exposed/developed 35mm film sandwiched between plexi to conceal ours... Still not 100% stealth...

    They highly illegal.... Federal offense. A class B felony with a fine up to $10,000 and 6 months in prison. Not something most people here would mess worth. To me its just not worth the risk, especially since many of the traffic lights which use them also have a camera to id the vehicle when it receives the signal. If they have a money back guarantee I'd take them up on it.

    "Sale and use of the Opticom infrared system is expressly restricted to authorized agencies of government customers, within
    their specific jurisdictions. However, because the infrared signal generated by the Opticom infrared system is not exclusive,
    GTT does not warrant exclusive activation by purchaser. Authorized users who desire to use or coordinate use of the Opticom
    infrared system with that of other jurisdictions must first obtain the prior written approval of each authorized user in the
    jurisdiction where use is sought."

    You live in an advance Western Democracy.

    You should just assume it's illegal. :-(
