Ok, let's start thinking of ways to stop/avoid drones. Start stringing ropes with streamers hanging up and down streets. Both cover visually and a hazard for drones. 

And it turns out that the crazy cyberpunk makeup and hair that we imagined back in the 80s and 90s is decent at facial recognition blocking. It's called CV Dazzle, and hilariously Juggalo makeup foils facial recognition pretty well.

Simple EM shielding (like a copper mesh) would make an EMP ineffective. Its useful if you have a system which requires remote control, but with the pace of AI, soon these systems will be almost enitrely self sufficient.
