So do you block your plate while driving around? You may have a felon right behind you...

Hopefully I'll notice if they follow me home

......but there are many possible ways this information is used..... Insurance companies monitor these sites and collect data.... Ever posted about a dodgy mod that might void your policy?

Why dont you post youry home address in your signature? And why have I run out of aluminium foil????

For those that have modded their cars, its to keep felons from having a nice inventory of your "Special" stuff.

For Auto-X racers its to prevent the insurance companies from denying a claim or jacking up your rates.

For those that want to sell their car eventually its to prevent buyers from discovering "Issues" that may effect the selling price.

For some its to prevent ending up on some advertising campaign spammers list.
Some of those data collection bots would surprise you, not just for traffic violations. https://www.aclu.org/alpr

For the rest I figure its to prevent stalkers in case you get into a tussle of words with someone online and they go postal.

Google your plate and see what it turns up.
