I think we should all pick up skeet shooting. The. cops will provide the pidgeons.

Time to drive 90 everywhere so that the drones can't keep up

My knee jerk was a polarized cover like those privacy phone screens. Visible from straight back, but opaque at an angle.
Bit of digging says these products exist, but most don't work as advertised, and can land you in legal trouble for using one. Some states will even pull you over just for having a cover, with no other infraction necessary.
So... this is not the way.
Any other ideas?

It's almost like cars are at the heart of every major problem facing humanity...

"License plate readers" is a lie to get municipalities to install them. They are AI surveillance cameras designed to track individuals using any information the cameras can pick up. Reading license plates is just an excuse to get them installed. They are installed in many places where there are no cars at all.
