Where I live I see police SUVs driving around with these types of devices on their roofs, this is a couple of times per day occurrence. I was wondering strictly for research purposes what kind of attacks are these devices vulnerable to? Could one for example spoof enough phones/connections to cause some DoS like affect.

Those devices are license plate readers. They use them to scan plates for “hits”. I’ve heard of units in police departments that use stingray but they are detached with the feds and are on NDA’s. How’s that legal I don’t know. You should be more worried about who agencies give body cam videos to and plate reader data too. I can tell you this if you dig it won’t be good news. Axion is a for profit company pretty sure facial recognition is in there plans.
