30 years ago, we could buy these things that would supposedly block radar speed readers. I wonder if they are still around and if they would work on readers and the flock stuff in general.
Sadly pretty much any kind of active signal jamming is highly illegal in the USA. Iirc it's a federal crime too.
You can use various things to obscure a license plate from Flock cameras, but it's illegal to varying degrees in several states, no doubt with more on the way.
Florida just passed a law stating you can't have any license plate frames covering any portion of the plate. They said it was so officers could read it better.... Buy we all know what its really for.
