If I do not want to participate in this private company’s business, what options do I have?

I wonder if those anti-surveilance glasses actually work which emit infrared light. Though they can probably fingerprint your gait/how you walk?

I’m currently looking for a small run supplier for a clear coated glass (IR opaque) license plate cover. Don’t really have a good way of testing performance though.

If you choose to drive around in a public place, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy.

While I don’t agree with the surveillance state that the US is drifting more and more to, license plates are a valid means to identify vehicles - unless you’re looking to abolish the idea of vehicle registrations.

In the US at least, red light and speed cameras are almost all operated by private companies that police forces utilize as a vehicle to create tickets and boost revenues.

>license plates are a valid means to identify vehicles - unless you’re looking to abolish the idea of vehicle registrations.

Did anyone suggest that? Or are you just bolstering your argument with a strawman?
