I don't think it's legal or illegal, but for what it's worth, I've only read (online) that it doesn't work! :sh:

I've heard that it does not work, but that might just be police propaganda. Either way I dont want to test it :lol:

I would imagine that the stuff itself, in the can is totally legal.

As soon as you spray it on your number plates it would not be legal to drive the car on public higways.... If they found out, you could always claim that it must have been put on by one of the previous owners or local anti-speeding fine vandals/freedom fighters....

Or sumsuch anyhow........
