All true, but the reflective “anti-paparazzi” scarves and such that I’ve seen do not appear to be reflective. They really just fuck up unwanted pictures/recordings by throwing off the camera’s light balance, especially when flash is used.
Comment on How ICE Will Spy On Protesters, And How You Can Protect Your Privacy
androgynouscloudmoon@slrpnk.net 4 weeks agoReferring to the clothes specifically, if you’re wearing lots of privacy-protecting gear and nobody around you is, it will have the opposite effect and you will be targeted.
It might be better to wear less obvious stuff like the big hoodie + facemask combo at first, and convince other protestors to wear smarter clothes over time, instead of immediately turning up in reflexive wear.

See that’s the thing I’m looking for the reflective clothes to cut the part to small pieces and add them to sunglasses so it wouldn’t be as obvious.

Reflective tape, and patches exist. You can get both iron on and sew on patches.

This is a good idea. Maybe as small strips to sew onto clothes as well? Most of these camera systems target the face, body size and shape, and gait.

Yup looking into. Small things can be effective.
