If they really did find a way to fool a breathalyser, foil a speed radar, or find a way to beat a speed camera, would they even be allowed to air their discoveries?  Doing so would no doubt make the roads more dangerous for everyone, and so they would probably see it as a moral obligation, otherwise you would have idiots barreling down the highway at 200 mph.  Either that, or the tests and the results are controlled by the police.  Imagine if they did find a way to beat the breathalyser, surely that would lead to more people driving drunk, even though cops have more then one way to determine that you are too drunk.  In the end, I don't think mythbusters will EVER show you exactly how to break the law without getting caught, and so every episode that "tests" it should be disregarded.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Yayaja]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2007 12:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mythbusters fail to foil the speed camera]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/08/mythbusters-fail-to-foil-the-speedcamera/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/08/mythbusters-fail-to-foil-the-speedcamera/</guid><description><![CDATA[Firstly, it's in the public intrest to publsh ways to beat legal procedures - then the loophole can be closed.<br><br>Secondly, they didn't even try it properly, as it's already been shown that at 170mph, you won't get flashed.

The speed camera that I got to see the guts in 2004 while touring a factory used a Cannon CCD that was out of the D20 DSLR with a custom Lens.<br>Also, about them finding a solution to a breathalyser, if you read how they work, it would be very hard to disguise the results without putting in your mouth that would be so painfully obvious the cop would laugh and make you take it out. Breathalysers look at the alcohol content in your breath, not inside your mouth as many people think. The only time they are off is when people stupidly try to use mouthwash or breath strips and hold some of that in their mouth. That just gives much higher result and shows you are obviously trying to mess with the test.<br>The reason I know this is that in my senior year in high school, I did a state science project testing the breathalyser, and tried to see if there was any way of messing with the results. My friend and I tried almost all the stuff that the mythbusters tried, and then some, and nothing changed the results for the better. In fact, the idea that putting baking soda in your mouth beforehand and blowing it down into the breathalyser is what killed it, and ended up costing us 220 dollars to have it repaired before sending it back to the manufacturer.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[benp]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2007 1:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mythbusters fail to foil the speed camera]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/08/mythbusters-fail-to-foil-the-speedcamera/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/08/mythbusters-fail-to-foil-the-speedcamera/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have to agree with don'tworryboutit, Neons are extremely common, what world do you live in that their not an average car?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2007 1:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mythbusters fail to foil the speed camera]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/08/mythbusters-fail-to-foil-the-speedcamera/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/08/mythbusters-fail-to-foil-the-speedcamera/</guid><description><![CDATA[Did you miss 'nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; '<br><br>No due process of law.
