Solution: smear random patterns on your face with an infrared paint. The recognition software won't be able to lock on to you and the cops will only see some vaseline-like smudges if they get close.
Problem: Who sells infrared paint?

I don't think there is an "infra red" paint as such. There may be some pigments that absorb IR light and others that reflect it, but I doubt they are transparent. The infra red light you see from your remote is light that has had all the visible portion of the spectrum either filtered out or is from a diode that doesn't generate light in the visible range of the spectrum.
This is an interesting idea though. When I worked in a large commercial darkroom we had night vision goggles (essentially an IR camera) and everyone looked the same. Black or white we all glowed.
