Basically, whenever any flash from a camera shoots at a surface that has been coated with this substance, the image comes back overexposed and unreadable. Without a flash or camera, the item looks unaltered.

In the item description, it says 100% legal. That doesn't seem right... any experiences or anything?

Yeah, that's why DVD makers go to jail all the time because they keep trying to make their stuff difficult to copy. It's obviously illegal.

I think he means how is it legal to use it to obscure your license plate from camera's at red lights or other cameras used to get your information when speeding/otherwise breaking the law.

It's generally not legal to obscure your plates, but selling a product that COULD be used to do this isn't necessarily illegal.
