I'm always skeptical about the "how to break the law and get away with it" mythbusters shows. 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.

Firstly, it's in the public intrest to publsh ways to beat legal procedures - then the loophole can be closed.
Secondly, they didn't even try it properly, as it's already been shown that at 170mph, you won't get flashed. They didn't go that fast.
and lastly, isn't it ironic that the person who invented the Gatso camera, Maurits Gatsonides, invented it to photograph himself driving thorugh corners in rallies so he could drive FASTER!
