    TLDR apply spots or “noise” to your plates. Put some duct tape or something on it to confuse the idiot that is modern AI.

      In many states, you’re technically not able to alter the license plate or put stickers on it. But cameras don’t know how big things are supposed to be. So put a frame around your license plate with all sorts of crazy.

          There are covers that mess up photography but still work for viewing normally with your eyes.

            and they’re probably highly illegal pretty much everywhere because they stop speed and red light cameras working and that’s exactly their marketed purposes

                for the tricks that mess up AI, yes

                but i believe this comment was talking about things like IR blocking covers and such

                  Surely stoplight cameras take visible light pictures and only use IR for automated plate reading.

                    there are lots of different covers for license plates which block photography only, and allow humans to see the plate. i’m not sure how all of them work
