Could someone please explain why most people here don’t like to have their license plates in photos posted online? You drive around on the streets with them, don’t you? Your plates get a lot more exposure doing that than you ever would even on a board 100 times the size of this. Maybe I’m just missing something. Please, no ignorance. ---

insurance, esp if the pic is of doing something proscribed by law. With people having their policies cancelled after simply ASKING insurance co’s if they can mod their cars, people don’t like to have their car’s identifiable to anyone. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. There’s no way that anybody from insurance visits SON or even the Internet period to book people. I guess people just don’t like to take any chances and I can understand why. … or maybe some people are just skurred of getting stalked or having their cars stolen. ---

I would think that you could contest that in court by explaining and showing that there has been a high rate of theft of your paticular vehicle and you do not wish people to be able to trace its home location. ---

VIN# I can understand, it’s easy to look up someone’s address, etc. Plate: Insurance - OK Maybe, but I have a feeling an insurance company would hang up on you if you tried to call in someones license plate - and thats if you could figure out what company they are with. Plate: Stalking? What? 🙂 Maybe there are resources out there that I don’t know of - but if you can figure out anything about a person via their plate I’d definitely like to know about it. ---

^^^ Really? I don’t have the offence numbers or any info on it in the HTA. This was last year but both cops were super ignorant and just felt like while they had me rack up the tickets. Both were Obststruction of something… ---

the reason people blur plates is not because of insurance… its because it is extremly easy if you know what your doing to find the address, name, car info, etc, and ontop of that the theif is easily able to look at whats done to your car which saves them the trouble of scouting out your car. Theives track cars they want to steal by licence plates incase you didnt know. ive had a parking pass over my vin since 2003 and been pulled over many times with no problems, but now i have 2.5% tint covering my avcr and vin on the front window. ---

> [@spilner](#): > > so crazy FUKS like speedNRG dont stalk you!!! > > BAN. Maybe she’s just a really big F&F fan … ? She seems easily confused. Reminds me a lot of this creepy chick I used to see at the Zoo bar back in its day (it’s the Zen lounge now for all you youths). She used to walk around in a really dirty wedding dress with glazed over eyes asking if you were her fiancé. I think people would be more likely to just follow you while you’re driving around than go through all the trouble of finding a license plate through the DMV and tracking you down. I mean, all you have to do is check the “Event” section, and find cars there and follow follow them home. And why make a key? It’s not like stealing a car is hard. Most thefts are actually tow jobs anyway. No one thinks a car being towed is suspicious. And most of these elaborate theft stories you read about online are insurance scams. One guy parts the car, uses the bits he needs, pops the tags and crushes it. Guy that supplied the car waits a bit, phones it in as stolen. Combs the boards, demanding it be found. “Has anyone seen this car?” Dude gets parts car, other dude gets insurance money. Not a bad way to get rid of an “ooopsed” car or something blown up. ---

I’ve never heard of lawyers having access to classified information. No they don’t have MTO access, but the people who, uhm do stuff for them do, ask your lawyer friend, he’ll know what I mean, Like when they need to get someone documents, but don’t know where they live…tell him this part… rather not discuss it… 😉 [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/blurring-license-plates/88456.md?page=2)
