I have noticed that we have a Google advert for Anti Speed Camera Spray. http://www.radarspray.co.uk/.
Is this stuff legal? If it is not, then should we be carrying it on this website?
If it is, can PGPSW buy a few cases of it for competitions?

I'm not sure of the legality but I do know it's a load of [expletive deleted] and doesn't work.
It's the work of a few seconds to process the image and extract the VRN even if it is not immediately visible. Anyone falling for this kind of ad really ought not to be in charge of a vehicle!
As you have noted, the adverts are hosted by Google not us but we can explicitly block specific ads (and I'll see if we can block this one to prevent some fool from getting scammed).

It's now blocked, but it may take an hour or two for systems to refresh.
I did block the .com before but they have come back with a .co.uk!
Thanks for pointing it out Tom

 And right alongside the article in the Dorset News page is - you've guessed it - an advert for RadarSpray
