I'm pretty sure there are laws that specifically say if you do something to prevent your plate from being read by these devices it's illegal. But it wouldn't matter anyway. They track you based on more than your plate. They even track pedestrians by looking at their clothing and such.
Think thats scary look up gait recognition. I remember reading a book in middle school almost 20 years ago, in the book they used gait recognition because facial recognition was deemed to invasive and was made illegal. Probably based on real life but I never looked into the legality of it. The original Punisher show on Netflix also brought it up, its how the hacker dude finds Frank Castle and kicks off the shows plot.
Yeah but that's easier to fake just put a rock in your shoe
Is this actually true? It feels like at most you get 3 extra gaits (left, right & both shoes)
different rocks
target has these already in thier security cameras for like a while now. i wouldnt be surprised if target was pioneering the tech gait recognition, tracking movement.
