Cleveland is considering scrapping the cameras because they have made revenues go down (people no longer run lights) and wants to go back to the pulling over system to raise more money for the broke-a$$ city.
mythbusters tried all the sprays plus a couple of home made things nothing beat the cameras. they were running tests is fairly good light though, the sprays work better when there is only the flash as a light source.

Also the LA cameras still flash at people who run them its just that there's no agency authorized to ticket you from them. Years ago I read of an east coats state that had to disable all of theirs after they were challenged on safety reasons because accidents were up at several camera intersections. Turned out the contractor that installed them also got paid to run them and had profit incentive so they shortened the yellow for the $. THe whole system got shut down because the contractors were not law enforcement therefor not legally authorized to ticket anyone.
