Censoring out license plates
Someone please enlighten me.
why is it that when we have photos of our cars, we blur out (photochop) the license plate, but not when it's a vanity plate? Isn't confidentiality applicable to both types? Just bored so I thought that I would ask.

Some states allow information to be collected by calling in, or bringing in a license plate. Also, some with to hide specific evidence of their cars perhaps violating warranties. I just think it looks better

well my license plate is AML CAR (my initials... its a family thing) and i dont know why people photoshop theirs....
personally though, I keep my keys in the little recession just up and back of the rear left wheel when im going to the beach or something.... i also keep an emergency 200 dollars cash under the driver's seat...
i wouldnt want someone to know those things AND my license plate.... oops!
P.S. - lol, if you happen to be a thief and see my car, dont bother breaking in.... i rarely have anything valuable in it, and i never have any cash

People blurr them because somone could run your plate and get your name, address, etc. When I had my civic there were lots of stolen car sback in the early days and a few instances where the people stealing them were from out of town so.......
But really it's silly because someone seeing you drive down the road could get your plate. I called a gravel truck owner after running his plate and told him that I was going to slash every single tire on his truck ($300.00 a piece) if he ever dropped rocks on the highway again. I was young and dumb and very pissed after he speckled my new paint job with rocks. I tried to get him to stop but he kept going. When I called him later that evening it really freaked him out. I even read him his own address. I would never really slash his tires but I just wanted him to be a little more careful and to take the extra time to wash down and secure his load before he leaves the gravel yard.
