Why blur license plates in photos?

You're being a little naive here, yes, it really seems like a problem. If all these problems were easy to solve, there wouldn't be any crime, would there?.

Not naive, really a little ticked that everyone has to drive around with this plate on thier car that is linked back to data on the owner, address, etc., and then they do very little to protect that information. I'm really not a big fan of government, I guess...

Just to get to your quote--it's not that DMV records are "that insecure", it's that people with access to them are willing to sell them.

But isn't that exactly what it means to have insecure records? It really doesn't matter how the data gets out, does it?
 
It is very easy for somebody with a connect to get an address using the plate number.



True Story... Person A was in his car. He saw Person B drive up to Person A's house, walked up his driveway, and started scope out Person A's friend's rims. Person A revved at B. B ran to his car and sped off. Person A chased him and got his plate number. One phone call and got his address...My story ends.





People already see your number on the street... why make it much more available to people on the internet?
 
I try not to post client's license plates simply out of respect for their privacy. They might not want it published over the internet for reasons I'm not aware of. I have no way of knowing if it would upset them or why, so better to err on the side of caution.



If I've asked them whether they mind me posting their cars on this site and they grant their consent, I don't worry about blurring the tag.
