Comment on Revealed: The shocking far-right agenda behind the surveillance tech used by ICE and the FBI.

Protect your eyes and you’ll stop most of the automated tracking… for now. It’ll paint a giant target on your back since most work by reflecting IR, so you’ll light up like a Christmas tree, but at least they probably won’t be able to automatically match you to a face in their database.

That’s part of the reason. But it now gives me more ideas. Way more.
Jam the IR. IR emitters can be pretty damn easy to hide. Have them embedded in badges for people. Have IR reflecting signs. Flood the protest with IR so even people unaware of it are protected.

Yeah, that would be pretty cool. I’ve seen protest shirts for visible light cameras with things that look like license plates and whatnot, and I’d totally be down for a peaceful protest to mess w/ IR illumination as well.
