I would love to have a license plate cover made of Smart Glass, so if I "accidently" have to run a red light, I could flip the switch and the red-light cameras would not be able to see my license plate or send me a ticket. 
I'm going to contact some of these Smart Glass companies to see if this can be done, and how much it would cost.

AFAIK a cop can give you a ticket only if they saw you OPERATING the vehicle with a illegal tint. Otherwise it doesn't make sense, as cops could crack the hood lock, open it and issue a ticket based on illegal mods under the hood

The "electric tint" on the market today has one major drawback. It is only designed to go from clear to opaque. The original poster's idea of using it as a security device when parked is the only feasable one, based on current technology. Once activated, you can no longer see through it.

i wonder if the system can be modded, it works with an electric current right? maybe add on something to vary the current that goes into it? would that work?

i had a thought. i wonder how hard it would be to use it to tint ur lights so that whenever they go on the tint goes off (then u could have it darker than a light coating of nightshades etc when ur not using it and clear when u are)?
