Comment on Breaking The Creepy AI in Police Cameras

Yet another great video from Benn… however, I’m a bit disappointed that he isn’t more explicit about how to protect your plates from these readers. I understand that he’s likely doing it to protect himself (and his viewers) from legal recourse, and it’s nice that he provides the code used to create and test the patterns, but I wish he had provided his research results to show which patterns were most effective at keeping the system from even detecting the presence of a plate.

Well, we’re all reasonably intelligent people. Let’s collectively brainstorm!
It looks like masking with a random pattern made to look like dirt or debris is an option.
To negate night reads, how about 2-4 layers of optical polarizing film, each transverse to the previous plane of polarization? Alternately, a coating with a visible light transparent, IR opaque pigment.

Could even literally make it mud, if you have access to a laser cutter (hacker space, etc) you could use that and make a stencil instead, then mix up some mud in a bucket (a little clay content goes a long way) and smear that over the stencil and tada – legitimately just some mud on my plate officer.

IR strobes on opposite sides of your plate works too

The issue I see with that is you’d need to supply power to the lights, which wouldn’t be impossible, but isn’t exactly trivial.
I wonder if having a license plate frame that changes it to not be a rectangle would work? Maybe even cover the frame in reflective tape to help blind the camera?

You already have power there to the license plate illuminator lights. It shouldn’t be super difficult to tap into that.
