New license plates in my jurisdiction are $59... Maybe something to do every few years...
Is it possible to fight back by poisoning the data? Is it legal to set up a display by the roadside that shows randomly generated license plates, filling their automated cameras with garbage data? Or is their data collection smart enough to recognize a non-car, either technologically or by filtering everything through a Turk-like equivalent?

Most plate cameras rely in part on the reflectiveness of the plate. You can definitely modify a plate to be mostly illegible to these cameras but easily human readable.
Given that most cameras are sensitive to IR (but human eyes are not), it seems like you could also wire up some super bright IR LEDs to obscure the plate too. Hmm... idea for a new license place 'holder'...

Signing up for their emails has given me opportunities to contact representatives regarding ALPR legislation and decisions I would have never he…
And US-CERT is a part of DHS, just like ICE.
Yet another piece of evidence that the US is turning into an authoritarian state - as, to be fair, others do too (especially China!), but the US have the unique advantage of being the technologically most advanced civilization. In earlier times, when situations got too authoritarian, there were rebellions and revolution. With the level of militarization in police and military and the abilities made possible by today'…
Are they wrong?
Low-skilled immigration seems like the worst possible idea at a time when millions of low skilled locals are going to be out of work.
With no net immigration most western countries are slowly shrinking which would help a fair bit as well.

I'm hoping that the name behind the license plate isn't being sold along with the plate/Lat.Long/Time pairs to private companies...
