    It would be interesting to train an image recognition algorithm on detecting flock cameras, build a raspberry pi with two servos and put it all in a nice box to carry around. For research purposes of course.

      Or just query nearby bluetooth devices:

      EDIT: Also, those things read bumper stickers in addition to license plates. I’ve often wondered if they check for injection attacks between character recognition and storing it in their database.

      Another edit: An attacker wouldn’t even need to put the sticker on their own vehicle. And a $20 thermal receipt printer (a “cat printer” as they’re known because the most popular model has cat ears and a cute cat face on it) can print on rolls of adhesive paper. I honestly wonder why no one uses them for sticker-based graffiti already. Probably because thermal prints don’t last long in sunlight.

        Just use a brother P-Touch with the 24mm rolls. They are pretty weather proof from my experience.

          But then you’d be the owner of something called a Brother P-Touch

          (I know it’s a great label maker, I just can’t pass up a chance at low brow humor when it presents itself)

          I want to make this clear: I was not speaking about myself, but a hypothetical attacker. I don’t even know if such an attack would be effective.

          That said, the rolls on the cat printer are 57mm and would probably be easier to resolve on a moving vehicle, and it would only need to last long enough to be read by one camera. Plus, the P-Touch doesn’t look like a kitty cat.
