In the vastness of the vast Fatherland, there are many resourceful motorists who now and then try to somehow improve their "swallow". For example, some of them, for some reason, install a magnet directly under the license plate. It's time to figure out why all this is needed, and whether this "trick" really gives any positive effect.
Video cameras on Russian roads cause a lot of headaches not only for those who actually violate, but (periodically) and for those who actually do not violate anything. Despite the fact that there are enough people in Russia to drown themselves in the floor, all sorts of unpleasant incidents happen to cameras. Considering all this, is it any wonder that “folk methods” of protecting a car from annoying cameras are proliferating day by day in the domestic open spaces.
In order not to beat around the bush, it is worth saying right away - installing a magnet under a license plate is another trick that should protect a motorist from video recording of his violations. The method is quite popular and widely known, although its effectiveness is in question. It will not be possible to find a consensus on this matter on the Web, but there is every reason to believe that this method (like many others) is just another hoax.

More importantly, the use of means of concealing a car's license plate is punished in Russia. For the presence of foreign objects on the license plate, the driver faces a fine of 5 thousand rubles. Also, the inspector has the right to deprive the driver of documents for 1-3 months, thereby forbidding him to drive a vehicle at all. Considering that the method of deceiving cameras using a magnet has been known for a very long time, but the inspectors still have not begun rush to license plates with pieces of iron, you can once again doubt the performance of the "people's" tricks.
