The record stands at 13!!
Do I hear 14?
Be a good time for that jury nullification thing to happen. :unsure:

It seems the "Bladerunners" are alive and well in Central Florida.

Destruction of private property is illegal and has consequences.

What if someone were to set up a signal jammer right next to a camera? Asking for a friend.

I believe police cruisers have been equipped with FLOCK cameras for many years now. They're constantly scanning license plates everywhere they go.

A couple years ago on my way home from the shop, there was a local 5-0 parked on the side of the road about 300' back from a 4-way stop. Knowing their bored penchant for pulling people over for stupid shit like a license plate light out or something minimal like that, I proceeded to perform a perfect stop then turn. There was no fucking way this guy was going to be able to pinch me for coasting through a stop sign like I (and everyone else) usually do. :cool:

But I see him pull out behind me and he follows me for over a mile before turning on the lights. WTF! 😠 I pull over and he comes to the window and asks for license/reg./ins. He also asks me if I'm the registered owner of the car, which I am. "Sir, your license has been suspended!" I'm like "WHAT, no way!" I'd know if I had a ticket or something like that and my record is almost as clean as Mother Theresa's. ;)

Long story short, I had to park the car and call for a ride home which is no easy task at 2-3am. :rolleyes: (I work nights because it is cooler). Apparently, I had neglected to renew the "health card" for my CDL, which is to be done every 2 years, so they yanked the CDL, unbeknownst to me. :rolleyes: I got a "regular" license the very next day. The officer erroneously charged me with "driving with a suspended license" which I got the DA's office to dismiss because technically, the license was NOT suspended, just the health card, and I was NOT driving a truck at the time.

Anyhow, I don't know if the cruiser had a FLOCK but it might have. Why the delay in pulling me over, I don't know...

I remember reading / hearing about police cruisers trolling mall parking lots with the plate reading cameras MANY years ago. My memory is foggy, but I swear... I think... maaabye... it was well over 10 years ago. Maybe 20?

Guy goes to jail for a month because cops match car to Flock image. And they ignore other Flock camera images and cell data that prove he wasn't there.

There's got to be some way to defeat the image capture that's not illegal. :confused:

A Flock license plate reader linked a San Diego man to a violent crime. He was five miles away.

A San Diego man spent one month in jail for a crime he didn't commit, after San Diego Police misinterpreted a hit from a license plate reader.

Infrared LEDs are a respectable camera countermeasure.

Cops are wise to the coatings and film you can put over a license plate. In many states, you can get busted for doing that. You dont own the plate. The state does. So they can declare you may not modify it in any way.

But casting a halo of light on your tag has not been tested in the courts and since it is invisible to the naked eye, your chances of this being detected are pretty slim. Naturally, this works better at night. But I think (not sure) if you flood the plate with enough IR light, it may prevent a camera from seeing the number clearly.

Obscuring the entire car to prevent it from make and model being recorded or identified? Possible but not practical. Theoretically, it could be done.

Speed and toll cams are more susceptible to being blocked by IR light. Less expensive cameras that rely on visible light to capture an image are not as dramatically affected.
