It is being called “cv dazzle” to defeat facial recognition like that used by Facebook.

I’m wondering if anyone has experience using this in protest, or if you’ve heard local coverage about it?

    It’s been a thing for a long time, probably hasn’t been used more because masks are easier. It’s so rare though that it makes you stand out as being one of the only people using it. Which really defeats the purpose.

        That’s why the Porshe guys in California made it a club. One guy with a 00O00O license plate is easy to track down. A few dozen variations on the same make and model car make it a lot more of a mess.

          Yeah the prosecution doesn’t have to prove one of you did it, they have to prove who all was complicit and that can be very difficult
