1. A system for detecting and evading vehicle identification means (VIM), comprising:
- locating means for determining a location of a vehicle;
control means connected with said locating means, said control means having a plurality of I/O channels, each said I/O channel adapted to receive or transmit one of serial data and parallel data;
processing means connected with said control means;
electronic storage means connected with said processing means, said electronic storage means comprising at least one database of known VIM coordinates; and
at least one identification prevention device (IPD) connected with said control means, said at least one IPD adapted to prevent identification of at least one of said vehicle'"'"'s license plate number, owner, driver and interior,said control means adapted to automatically select said at least one IPD and to selectively activate or deactivate said selected IPD according to predefined criteria selected from the group consisting of predefined frequencies, predefined frequency ranges and predefined digital signal signatures.
