    This is why "front" and rear jammers are needed on a bike. :wink:

    Ya know what we do to combat that here in the states?


    A)Bend your plate to a severe angle and never wash it.


    B) Run it on a custom mount to the side... you can relax your foot over it at anytime, it blocks cameras and is relaxing at the same time.

    C) Wear full riding gear with a mirror shield to prevent any clues (besides height) of who you are.


    The news part was cool; nice music! I thought it was promoting speeding, it seems like the start to a stunt video production... I was waiting for the 'YEAH RIGHT' to pop on the screen after a 'slow down' pops up, then the music to change, and have groups of bikes to fly-by with no plates on.



    Any-who, good find though, and I am sure those cameras are deadly... since they are so mobile. I really want a jammer on my bike.

    This is what happens in the UK if you do that>




    "Bell was sentenced to a month in prison and was handed six points on his licence and disqualified for six months."

    ALSO




    "Sheehan-Dinler was pictured each time giving a "time-honoured gesture" to the speed camera by showing his middle finger......His speeding continued for a number of months, but because he wore different clothes and rode six different bikes, the only lead police initially had was that it was the same "mysterious rider" with "the same hunched figure".....Police eventually tracked down Sheehan-Dinler by researching his purchase of motorcycle parts and clothing on Ebay. Although the items were bought under different names, they were all listed for his Borehamwood address."

    Yeah, see the police over here have real problems to take care of, so generally unless you have one with a grudge against you, they wont put that effort into finding someone for speeding and a finger.
