Re: Speed/red light cameras
maybe instead of a film or cover over the plate you could set up a really bright light to light up the plate. The thought here is that the camera is set up for a certain light level. There will be too much light coming off of the plate which will flood the image.
Just a thought, I don't know if you could get away with this.
Probably not in TX:
