I have been thinking of a device to thwart license plate readers by dumping a ton of IR and/or visible light on the plate before it gets read.

Perhaps combined with some reflective coating? Retroreflectors are promising

Repo men use those readers to track cars to be repossessed. And as it happens, it is very successful industry these days.

Just as a heads up, this is likely illegal in many US states. (Legality is not morality - but it's good to know what the law is before you might break it).
