Red light cameras take pictures a couple seconds apart so they can (for example) tell if you were just slow making a left hand turn as the light changed, or that sort of thing, and obviously a human has to go through all those, so no even if their software was poorly written (lowest bidder and all) I can't see this plan working very well.

License plates are easily OCRed for a reason though, that would be useless. I think old fashioned is probably better, if you want to be an annoying little poo poo get one of those tacky translucent yellow license plate covers or my favorite, from one of those stupid old anarchist handbooks/jolly roger cookbook type things: steal someone's plates, put them on another car, then put the second car's plates on your own :v:

edit: I just realized it should be pretty trivial to use a chunk of privacy filter to make your license plate unreadable from an angle, such as speed/red light cameras, without immediately getting pulled over, but on the other hand if you ever parked in public you'd be hosed once any kind of cop/meter reader notices your plate looks black from eye level when you're standing by the car
