Comment on Breaking The Creepy AI in Police Cameras
Bob_Robertson_IX@discuss.tchncs.de 1 week agoThe 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.

The trick is to tap into that power, while keeping things looking nice and neat. Most vehicles now have the license plate lights tucked away in housings. It would be nice to be able to have something that only uses the 2-4 screw holes that are used to hold the plates on since those are universal on vehicles sold in the US.

Sure.
But it’s not that hard to access, you just need to remove the back panel on the inside to access the wires. The more important thing is knowing enough about electricity to be able to splice it in, but a YouTube video should be able to handle that.
