There are covers that mess up photography but still work for viewing normally with your eyes.
and they’re probably highly illegal pretty much everywhere because they stop speed and red light cameras working and that’s exactly their marketed purposes
The cameras should work fine, they would just require manual review.
for the tricks that mess up AI, yes
but i believe this comment was talking about things like IR blocking covers and such

there are lots of different covers for license plates which block photography only, and allow humans to see the plate. i’m not sure how all of them work
