so has anyone figured out a reasonable way to block plates from being read?
an adhesive layer, a clear coat, a plastic cover with the right spectrum blocking?
You know what? I really like Benn Jordan’s YouTube videos. Not sure what made me think of that. Guess I just wanted to share that fact.
You cannot legally modify your license plate in any way, even if it leaves the number and stickers fully visible. I wonder if you couldn’t do something to the area surrounding your license plate though to make the AI detection ignore your car/plates…
Infrared lights around the plate doesn’t modify it
If the map isn’t reporting any false information then they don’t have a legal grounds for the removal and this likely violates anti-slap laws.
Flock is a private company with equal rights to everyone else: no more, no less.
The city I work at just ended their contract with them. Monday morning I get to send them a demand to remove them from our ROW within 30 days or we’ll have them removed and fine them $500/camera per day until they pick them up and pay us our expenses related to the removal.
Our police are also bagging the cameras, including the solar panels (so they’ll shut off).
your city sounds cool
I mean, they did still allow the cameras to begin with
Woah woah, are you telling me that the surveillants don’t like being surveilled? I’m shocked, absolutely shocked I tell ya

My town uses the other brand, that might account for some of the difference
Flock is not the only brand of ALPR (Automatic License Plate Reader). Its the brand/company that is receiving the most negative press, which means other companies providing the same service are quietly sneaking into towns and cities.
If you drive in an area covered by an ALPR-networked camera, your vehicle’s movements may already be in a searchable database. As the tools for building these systems become more widely available, the pressure for clearer rules about who may collect vehicle-location data, on whom, and for how long is unlikely to ea
As always keep reaching out to your local city council to ask where are these cameras being installed, how long is the information being retained, who is accessing these systems, and who is keeping the individuals accessing these systems accountable?
The one with all the product placement on The Rookie, Axon? They need to go fuck themselves too.
Product placement? More like just reality.
Axon is the maker of Taser, and like 90% of the body cams that departments use. ALPRs are simply the newest of many tools they offer, and adding Axon ALPRs to replace Glock is probably extremely easy since there is a 99.99% chance they already have Axon products, and an existing contract.
Axon is not new by any means.
