Apparently as part of a prank, students at a Maryland based High School have found a way to duplicate their target’s (people who have wronged them in the past, including students and teachers) license plate, using glossy paper and a laser printer. Dubbed “the speed camera pimping game” they tape the phony license plate over their existing license plate, and speed past a speed trap camera.
The camera snaps a picture of the license plate and sends a ticket ($40 bucks) to the unsuspecting victim’s home. It’s so simple and shady, I’m surprised more reports of people exploiting this flaw in the speed trap camera system hasn’t surfaced.

“Originating from Wootton High School, the parent said, students duplicate the license plates by printing plate numbers on glossy photo paper, using fonts from certain websites that "mimic" those on Maryland license plates. They tape the duplicate plate over the existing plate on the back of their car and purposefully speed through a speed camera, the parent said. The victim then receives a citation in the mail days later. “
“Students are even obtaining vehicles from their friends that are similar or identical to the make and model of the car owned by the targeted victim, according to the parent.”
"This game is very disturbing," the parent said. "Especially since unsuspecting parents will also be victimized through receipt of unwarranted photo speed tickets.
“The parent said that "our civil rights are exploited," and the entire premise behind the Speed Camera Program is called into question as a result of the growing this fad among students.”
