      At one time 3M made a polarizing plastic that some smart entrepeneur
made into license plate covers just to screw up photo radar and redlight
cameras.  It worked so well that the government (US I believe) made 3M agree to
either discontinue or restrict it's sales.

      An example of this technology would be at the ATM machines, if you stand
off to the side slightly, the screen is blurred and indistinct.
