The pretty common one is to have infrared LEDs shining on the plate. Humans can’t see the light but cameras can and it blinds them. It’s worth noting that it’s illegal, and if the police catch you doing it they’ll arrest you just for that. I’m not sure how much help that is, but then again, any technique that blocks the cameras from reading your plate is likely considered illegal.
The problem is that they don’t just read the plates. They look at everything on the vehicle. Window stickers, license plate frames, cleanliness, scratches/dents, etc. Trying to disguise your plate will just make your vehicle more readily recognizable, and notify authorities that you have something to hide.
I’m pretty sure there are laws that specifically say if you do something to prevent your plate from being read by these devices it’s illegal. But it wouldn’t matter anyway. They track you based on more than your plate. They even track pedestrians by looking at their clothing and such.
Think thats scary look up gait recognition. I remember reading a book in middle school almost 20 years ago, in the book they used gait recognition because facial recognition was deemed to invasive and was made illegal. Probably based on real life but I never looked into the legality of it. The original Punisher show on Netflix also brought it up, its how the hacker dude finds Frank Castle and kicks off the shows plot.
target has these already in thier security cameras for like a while now. i wouldnt be surprised if target was pioneering the tech gait recognition, tracking movement.
You cannot legally modify your license plate in any way, even if it leaves the number and stickers fully visible. I wonder if you couldn’t do something to the area surrounding your license plate though to make the AI detection ignore your car/plates…
so has anyone figured out a reasonable way to block plates from being read?
an adhesive layer, a clear coat, a plastic cover with the right spectrum blocking?

You know what? I really like Benn Jordan’s YouTube videos. Not sure what made me think of that. Guess I just wanted to share that fact.
also a fan.

Car wrap covered with SQL injections
James Bond style license plate flipper.
Tho I’d prefer the unreasonable EMP gun to disable the cameras. Someone get Q in here.

Yeah but that’s easier to fake just put a rock in your shoe
Is this actually true? It feels like at most you get 3 extra gaits (left, right & both shoes)
different rocks

Infrared lights around the plate doesn’t modify it
