Plenty of useful warnings suggested here:
As a prank, students from local high schools have been taking advantage of the county's Speed Camera Program in order to exact revenge on people who they believe have wronged them in the past, including other students and even teachers.
Students from Richard Montgomery High School dubbed the prank the Speed Camera "Pimping" game, according to a parent of a student enrolled at one of the high schools.
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.

I attended a conference once where a criminal defense attorney described the members of his profession as being "Merchants of Reasonable Doubt."
Another arrow in the quiver.
Wouldn't work here in CA. We don't have "speed" cameras - only red light cameras. When the picture is taken of the car and its plate while entering a red light intersection, a picture is also taken of the driver. If it isn't you, there is no ticket. VEHICLES are not "guilty", only the people driving them. The picture of the license plate only serves to attempt to link to the guilty person.
