Blurry plates?

Jordo! · 02-08-2011, 02:33 PM

In theory, if you were boasting about street racing, a copper in the area could take note of the plate and keep an eye on you. I always thought that was why people did it.

Otherwise, I have no idea what the point is.

Ok, let me try to explain my paranoia. If it doesn't meet your standards, folks, then it still ain't gonna change the way I feel.

You know what car I drive
You know approx where I live
You know what paint color and trim my car is
Other than the locals that I meet at events in the area, probably no one has seen my plate numbers, and even my local buddies probably can't rattle it off the top of their heads.
If I don't have to divulge that information, why should I?
If you take strong exception to something that I say on here, and you see a Black Cherry Z on the street, you may give pause to vandalizing it if you're unsure whether it belongs to some innocent third party.
I have other reasons that I cannot discuss here.

Depends if they're targeting you to begin with.

Other than the part about owning a gay-*** colored car, I agree with the above. Of course, I am one paranoid crazy ************, so...

I won't ever show a clear picture of my license plate.

Ever.

I do it so that "my" car isn't for sale on dozens of craigslist ads. I am also careful about posting speeding stories in case the local law is trolling for any information, not that I would speed mind you.

There were a couple of M3's there that had their plates covered. Apparently BMW likes to void warranties of tracked cars. Pretty f'ing lame, especially when you buy an "M" BMW.
