Do we have a good solution for public survaillence cams and Facial Recognition yet? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So I had researched it a while ago and don't recall having found anything effective and non-suspicious to protect from public camera mass survaillence in cities and the like. Is there anything that is a good option for that yet, and if so, could you point me toward it?

You know cameras have an IR filter during the day right.

Even a 1 watt laser will still have enough power after the filter to knock that sensor's clock right out.
Or just use a red laser, they're even cheaper, if less discrete.
