Re: Street Cameras on every corner? BEAT THEM!

Many of these cameras use Infra-Red - especially the number plate readers/loggers.

The solution to this Big Brother problem lies in the ubiquitous Infra-Red 3 watt LED.

Surrounding your number plate with several of these 3-watt LEDs, with a couple placed in the centre of the plate as 'dummy' mounting screws, effectively 'blinds' IR cameras. Modulating them at 4-10 Hz increases their effectiveness.

Wearing a US-style baseball cap with 5mm IR LEDs scattered around the top of the 'peak' blinds cameras effectively, too. And, being IR, emit no visible light for Plod to see (unless they use a smartphone camera to view you).
