Just like many non-certified light kits that are sold.
For instance. I just looked on the Advance Auto Parts website and found one brand called Cruiser Accessories. If you look at the image, it says read the legal disclaimer on the back.
Well, I found their website and this is likely the disclaimer on the back of the card in the package:
So maybe we need someone to get on this too, since we already have a faction who want to get the SA and SF oils out of stores.
Reading is fundamental...
Yet every auto store sells those plastic domes to cover plates. Even in states where front and rear plates are necessary.

I love this review, emphasis mine:
I'd give my kids the riot act and tell them if they get any ticket of any sort while they live in my house their car was getting sold for $1 and they had to watch the new buyer drive it away.
Thing is, if you bought/ installed one, would you really feel safer? What if you see a camera flash and then walk on eggshells for weeks wondering if you'll get a letter in the mail?

Absolutely the BEST protection against photo cameras. I have used sprays, and other types of covers in the past - all of them turned out to be failures. I am not sure if the cameras have gotten more advanced or if they added video capture now as well, but it seems that the only thing out there that is able to stop everything is the photomaskcover. I even bought one for each one of my daughters cars just to be on the safe side.
In states with red light cameras, aren't the tickets non enforceable anyway? I have a friend in socal who says he just ignores the tickets that come in the mail and that they never go on any record.
*edit - I remember his exact words that you simply don't open the letter they send and that later on you claim ignorance of having received it. Since they didn't send it to you as certified with signature proof then the state (or private entity) can't claim you got the ticket in time.

Lots of things are sold in stores that aren't legal. Every performance part I have ever purchased says "for off-road use only" right on the box.

Why don't you just obey the law and not run red lights?
You know, many people are killed EVERY year from idiots that run red lights.
I guess ethics and laws don't mean much anymore as long as a person can get away with something.
