Don't do this to your vehicles. A) it doesn't fucking work. B) It's meant to trick you into making yourself an easily identifiable target for law enforcement.

The best thing you can do is avoid the cameras when possible and make your car as bland as possible (no stickers, no identifying features). These systems suck, lean into that fact. Also a little "accidental" splattered mud on the license plate doesn't hurt either. Not enough to prevent a person from reading it, but just enough to break the AIs brain.

    Here are some people at DEFCON who have been making low-cost devices for identifying the radio fingerprint of nearby flock cameras: https://youtube.com/watch?v=-2uAsJ5EPAw

    Have you done actual testing against multiple cam types, including Ring and Flock?

    This guy has, he presented at BlackHat. And yes, it works

    Plates that can't be read by software gets sorted for human input, splattering it doesnt help unless its completely unreadable.

    Get an electromagnet and put behind your plates instead with a fake leaf that disappears anytime you get pulled over

    Knowing that the state that submits the image for human review is that the system must automatically (1) identify a car (2) whose license plate can't be automatically read, the more productive trickery would be to defeat the "identify a car" part where the software doesn't even know that a car drive within its field of view, and therefore doesn't know to take a still frame and forward it to a human.

    Alternatively, have the software automatically read a license plate incorrectly so that it doesn't trigger human review but is instead confidently incorrect in what it did log to the records.
