You should try to not draw attention to yourself at anytime. It is very easy to find out who the vehicle is registered to via the plate number.

Exactly the point - it is paranoia based on uninformed opinion with no basis in fact, in other words, mindless.

A private citizen, at least in Canada, cannot run a plate - I know because I've tried. If you think you have a reason then you go to the police and state your complaint and they will run the plate and investigate, but they will not release the information to you unless their investigation warrants it. Even a police officer cannot legally run a plate for personal reasons - again, I know as I have worked for the Mounties and am aware of the regulations. Are you starting to understand the difference between "mindless" and "informed" yet? I can try and make the explanation a little simpler for you if need be...

Tell you what - here's my plate: Manitoba DHK 976. Tell me what you find out. Be warned that if you do get any info I will immediately file a complaint with the police and your source will be in trouble.

Uh oh, so I hear you are coming to my local Auto-X and think you can beat the pants off of me so I called the RCMP and reported a car with your plate as stolen by an armed bandit, in the vicinity of the Auto-X track.

That ought to slow you down!

I also photo copied your plate to full size and use it over my own plate when I drive down the toll roads. hehehe.

See, the stolen identity can be used for all sorts of fun stuff.

I know because I have been a victim of the toll roads scam.
I keep getting bills from the toll road folks claiming I owe them fees and late fees and more fees for using the toll roads. I never drive the toll roads because I don't live near any.

Anyway, just joking of course, but the point is to avoid having your identity out there for idiots to torture you with.

Well, Google came up with this:

And this:

So you're either:
A) the former owner of a British double decker bus recently sold on e-Bay;
B) Some kind of cray-cray You-Tube dancing maniac; or
C) A wise but cantankerous Boxster owner who has little use for fools.

I'm in the U.S., so I hope I didn't violate any international laws or U.S.-Canadian treaty.

Good reply. My kind of humor!

It's not disdain, it's incredulity that others would demand me (or any other photographer) to alter their work, based on their own paranoia, when they themselves are not making an effort to conceal said "private" information.


Not trying to come off like a dick here, but if you're not going to take the 30 seconds to spin a few screws out of your bumper, don't expect me to take 30 seconds to cover it up in photoshop. On 20 different photos. Of each car. .

I know I know.. :ah:

lol.

It just always blows me away that it should be my responsibility after the fact.
