Should have done random license plates
From this bit in the article:
I wonder if these systems won't "notice" and record the license plate on its own if they don't think there's a vehicle present.
Detected smudge with license plate. SWAT team has been dispatched.
That’s the trick, though. With these patterns, the camera doesn’t even recognize that there’s a car there at all.
Would it read a license plate if you set it in the bushes?
There's an idea. Start putting fake license plates everywhere to poison ALPRs.
