A Florida motorist, 70, showed off some 007-style gadgetry when he was spotted using a remote controlled shield to cover his license plates from toll cameras.

Robert Craig Davis, was arrested on charges for organized fraud and petty theft on November 17 after cops noticed the gadget.

A similar roll-down license plate cover famously featured in Goldfinger


quote:

Davis was eventually stopped at the six mile marker on the Turnpike by Sergeant Carlos Vanegas, a arrest report states according to the FLKeysNews.com.

Troopers Vanegas and Dennis Gallo found a remote controlled device in Davis' vehicle upon searching it. They learned that the controls operated the license plate 'curtain.'


quote:

'The actions of the defendant showed an ongoing course of conduct with intent to defraud the SunPass toll system,' Gallo added.

Davis was booked on Saturday but has since posted bail.

Figures an off-duty cop is the one who ratted on this guy. The United States of America, where anonymity is a crime.

I always wanted to create a polarized clear sheet to go over the plate sobit can obstruct the view of the plate from off angles

The best gadget is a simple translucent film. At angle, it distorts the imaging... think of it like a glare which the manual LP readers all toll companies use to manual key images enter as unreadable.

Not many can pull it off though. Very good execution until Dudley Doright turned him in.
