    At my local Aldi I spotted a van driver doing the opposite - he covered his number plates on entrance and exit. Good work my man :T:T:T:T
    Bit of a hassle. Must have known he was going to overstay.
    An automatic flipper would be good.
    But if you use it accidentally on a public highway you'd be in trouble.

    "An automatic flipper would be good".

    Maybe if this sort of thing carries on, the vehicle manufacturers would fit 'em as standard. Well worth the extra cost of the vehicle! :-D

    Yes they do actually exist, check on eBay :)

    You could also consider fitting an infrared blinding torch. When you enter private land you turn it on to blind any ANPR type cameras. But again would be illegal and get you in a lot of trouble if you forget to turn it off and drive past a police camera van

    Or, getting your hands on a high-powered laser-pointer and using it to burn-out the sensor on the cameras.
    It would take them a while to notice and by the time they did, they would have lost a small fortune.

    Defo want to try it. Either way I get a decent set of proof photos with me and my middle finger and the appeal letter would be great. Or they review it and I waste their time.

    Either way. Win win
