    Just out of curiousity you understand... what's the state of the art in
    anti-camera plates? Flip-up, rotating, reflecting? What works and what's
    legal?

    Found this quote:
    "was following this other R1, but his number plate was just a blur,
    when we both stopped at the end at a juntion it turned out his number
    plate was held on with springs, every liitle bump and vibe caused it to
    wobble making it unreadable". :)

    And this quote (probably)...

    "when Dibble stopped him shortly after, because his number plate was just
    a blur, and it turned out his number plate was held on with springs,
    every little bump and vibe causing it to wobble making it unreadable
    thereby perverting the course of justice. They nicked him and good and
    proper where he is now, I believe, chief soap holder for Mr. Big, HMP
    Buggerston".

    This is an easy one, if youhave a legal plate , you are legal. You know,
    those ones you buy with the correct size letters and numbers, spaced
    correctly, with the makers postcode at the bottom.

    Alternativly don't speed.
    Or if you are going to do it, remove the plate altogether, or crack a
    piece of letter off to make it look like it has recently happened, not
    endorsable I believe [1]
    And a target for plod.

    [1] Champ will correct me on this .

    I think you mean "crack the plate off leaving only a piece of a
    letter", for otherwise they will ID you, if you only remove a couple
    or three digits.

    Not endorseable AIUI, however - thirty quid, innit?

    Lets see, letter attatched to plate, crack off letter. To *me* and
    probably many others , that means removing a bit of plate as well/ As to
    them IDing you 100% from a partial then taht is something I know nothing
    about. I refer you to Champs for clarification (or JP as he will give the
    legal side)

    In no way am I condoing such behavior, nor would I actually do it my self.
    Merly offering some advice to a portential law breaker. If he or you read
    more into a sentence than is intended, well tuff, don't care.

    You say "crack off (a)(piece of) letter", Bruce. That will not serve
    to prevent the authorities from IDing the plate. Removing one (or
    two) letter(s) is not sufficient obfuscation and they will be able to
    work out what it was, see.
    AIUI, _leaving_ 2 1/2 digits will prevent identification.

    FYI, my plates are legal.

    Dogs bollocks mate, work a treat every last one of them. Get the
    reflecting ones though. Passive is good, less to go wrong.

    Froma rear shot gatso, not much they can do. They van *try* and match
    partial plate to bike, but if 2 bikes with similar plates then they are on
    a hiding to nothing.
    Not worth their time IMO

    I never questioned it. An upright citizen like youself.

    Especially seeing as their shutter speed has to be quick enough to snap
    people who GLF.

    Then u get cought be the camera, when the letter arrive; just say "i can`t
    remember riding that bike at that time, date & place"

    The police can`t possible prove that you was riding that bike at that time.

    U all ride safely, now ;-)
