I’m looking for some adversarial material - numbers and letters at various angles that I can stick to the left and right of my license plate. To a human it will be obvious which part is my license plate but it might be sufficient to confuse an ALPR algorithm.

It varies by state and there are no laws that say it needs to be machine readable. It only needs to be human readable.

Obsucuring means making it partially or entirely not visible.
