obfuscations are a unique fingerprint to these systems. It's not a defense IRL.

  Yes, but I feel it's similar to wealthy individuals putting their homes into generic-named trusts, offering a simple shield from simpler surname database searches. i.e: yes, my vehicle is now "white car, obscurred plate" — but if Officer Joe Blow is searching for my specific license plate... he'd have to try harder (e.g. I have intentionally sped past a traffic camera to see if I get the ticket — have not, to date [0]). Obviously if you make yourself too big a target (i.e. manhunt level searching) this won't work. See <https://xkcd.com/1105/ https://xkcd.com/1105/>. I roll around GTA-one-star (or less), so this is helpful. [0] My state has entirely banned the enforcability of photo citations (except passing school bus == good), but a private company still sends out speeding notices — my obfuscation bare minimum saves somebody the postage fees.
