Your opinon about PhotoBlocker? Does it work?

I'd appreciate your opinion of PhotoBlocker. Does it really work?

They say, once sprayed on your license plate, PhotoBlocker’s special formula produces a high-powered gloss that reflects the flash back towards the camera. This overexposes the image of your license plate, rendering the picture unreadable. With PhotoBlocker, your license plate is invisible to traffic cameras yet completely legible to the naked eye.

True?

Total bull shit.

You can't reflect enough light to over expose the photo just coating an already reflective surface with more reflective material.

You're better off putting cd's shiney side up on the dash.
