As I always like to provide as a precursor when there is anything related to the law, please note that I am not a lawyer. I would urge you to consult your lawyer before making any business decisions related to legal issues.
That said, your question got me thinking - is that product legal? While the purpose of PhotoBlocker Spray is to "defend yourself from red-light and speed cameras," according to the site, I can't imagine CJ would take on a merchant that was breaking the law.
Bear in mind, Commission Junction is part of ValueClick, Inc. (Nasdaq:VCLK), so they are not likely to play fast and loose with the law.
I searched around the news wires and came across a story on PhotoBlocker from WFAA-TV in Dallas/Fort Worth.
