what is stopping me from putting a bright infrared light on my car angled in a way causing the camera to not be able to detect my plate? overexposed? this should be totally legal afaik since nothing is hiding my plate from any view to a normal human?

The question would ultimately get settled in court, I think, but a DA who was feeling cop-aligned and vicious could try to ding you for interfering with police operations by _not_ allowing your plate to get scanned.

These statutes are typically not written with police enforceability in mind: they criminalize "doing something" rather than "having something installed," and a cop isn't typically going to be around or caring/watching when you move past statically-installed ALPR cameras.
