I just bought new glasses and got an IR-blocking lens coating that's supposed to thwart facial recognition from things like these and Flock cameras and whatnot. It's not active disruption via electronics, but it is a countermeasure...

They also make hats with IR LEDs that blind the cameras.

Countermeasures are good, despite them not being active...It's important to disrupt these terrible techs whenever possible!
