those sprays do work. they add an unnoticable gloss that
creates an overexposure of your plate. there is no law against altering your plates, as long as the number is visable to the eye. i do not enjoy robot enforcers. i do not enjoy robot check-out lanes at the store. i walk past over 100 cameras a day on the streets of the city. I am famous.


Sigh. You go from the laser guided traffic tickets to convenience at checkout lines? How about the anonymous nature of self checkout? All the porn and condoms you can buy and nobody has to see it. Self checkout is a godsend when you don't have to deal with people who don't trust it. I was always sick of waiting in line at those behind people who clearly had no business using them, checking out 300 items or more all the while doubting every price they showed... list goes on. Anyway, I don't care about how many damn cameras you walk past. I walk past the same 10 or 20 cameras every day, the people behind them probably know my "routine" and all that. You know what, though? I don't care. Neither should you. [edit from 2019: my views on privacy have changed now that there are cameras everywhere in a way there weren't in 2005, and now that facial recognition is a meaningful point of contention in policing/law enforcement]

In other news, comments are, according to blogger, now easier to post. Chop chop!
