Blurry plates?

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

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.
  1. You know what car I drive
  2. You know approx where I live
  3. You know what paint color and trim my car is
  4. 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.
  5. If I don't have to divulge that information, why should I?
  6. 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.
  7. I have other reasons that I cannot discuss here.

Depends if they're targeting you to begin with.

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.
