If you live in the United States, it’s very likely that a private startup has been logging and sharing your vehicle’s location without your consent. In this …

Yet another great video from Benn… however, I’m a bit disappointed that he isn’t more explicit about how to protect your plates from these readers. I understand that he’s likely doing it to protect himself (and his viewers) from legal recourse, and it’s nice that he provides the code used to create and test the patterns, but I wish he had provided his research results to show which patterns were most effective at keeping the system from even detecting the presence of a plate.
Woah, this guy is great. I wish it were possible for me to do something like this full time, but I lack the wide skills he’s got. I wonder how long it takes to get to that level? And I wonder if there’s any organizations that might sort of scratch this itch? Been fantasizing about working for the EFF or something like that.
Really really love how he ends the video by insulting and criticizing the companies that asked him to be sponsored by them. Insane power move
He IS great. I saw him play at a festival a decade ago and all the equipment they provided failed. He just improvised a set, with lots of vocoder, and it was one of the best sets I’ve ever seen. (He’s The Flashbulb, if you haven’t heard him!)
Yooooooo what he’s the Flashbulb!? Crazy lol. I’ve loved his music for years now. Did not at all realize it was the same guy. Taste goes with taste I suppose
I feel like bright UV LEDs would blind digital cameras too.
I’ve seen hats / hoodies with bright LEDs in non-visible frequencies for blocking facial recognition.

I think these are great. Wish they weren’t marketing it for people that want to do “sketchy shit”. I don’t want to do that at all, but I also don’t want to be constantly tracked and identified everywhere I go.
Anyone know of the website that tracks where these cameras are located?
Thank you!
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.
In some states an obscured/unreadable license plate is all a cop needs to pull you over…
A little dirt mixed into a clear paint. To a cop, it just looks like a dirty licence plate. To AI powered cameras it looks like T̶̗̈ℲM-ԀC̴̦͝)0
Great video and very illuminating about corporatised data surveillance. I wonder how these practices would fly in European or UK data environments. Big cities certainly have extensive CCTV coverage both law enforcement based and private but I’m not sure you could be selling personally identifying data like that.
Here is the video’s thumbnail.
I use an Extension called vidIQ to find and use the video thumbnail easily. The current thumbnail will be shown just below the video view count.
