Its funny how paranoid people are. I can assure you there are no crimes being reported because a license plate was seen on the internet. Even if there was a dirty cop who ran the tag and found out where you lived, what does he do now? Kinda like a dog that chases a car...if he catches it what does he do with it. The so called dirty cop now knows where you live...so why would he care? What crime is now possible as a result of the information.

Attention everyone!!!! I just saw a vehicle with the license plate "SomeBeach" just abduct a small child. Everybody go get him and kick him alot in the face.


see.....you could have just gotten kicked alot in the face. Its a good thing you didnt post your license plate.

I am just saying that you have no idea what people do with wierd information. Why add to the already large amount of data people can get about you on the internet.

I am not worried about the authorities seeing my plates, just wierdos.

Trust me, if someone wants to mess with you there is plenty of "public information" legally available to make that an easy task without needing your plate#.

This post will give you an idea of what is possible on the net with next to nothing to go by (an IP address). Of course this guy was an idiot and got his justice. Good reading...long but entertaining. Some have probably seen it before.

Billy,
I hate you (not really)
It's after 3am, and I can't read anymore. I'm on page 17 with sidetracks to linked posts. I can't wait to see where this ended.
The lack of rational thought by this guy, is only equaled by my Ex.
Some people you just can't help



Happy 4th

Oh I see...and the only way this weirdo would get a tag number is looking at the internet??? This weirdo don't notice tags of vehicles going down the street? And reporting a crime was just committed by the operator of this vehicle...where is the victim. And weirdo is so talented he can pick a crime and a suspect at a time the suspect has unaccounted for time. And on and on. Trust me, if a weirdo wanted to do something bad to you its much easier to follow you home then pick a tag off the internet, find a way to run it, travel to your house and pick out a crime to try out. Your tag don't entice the criminal.

Scott (Moncha), please weigh in on this. Am sure your opinion as a law enforcement officer can put many of our minds at rest on the matter. Personally, I am not afraid of big brother,..... I think, but then I am 61 and won't be around that many more years to put up with that ****!

I don't mean to say that, that is the ONLY way someone could get ahold of my information. I guess I am just a paranoid person and like to keep as much information to myself as possible.

I don't think you're paranoid. We all do things to make ourself feel safe. Ever gone to bed and wondered if you locked the back door? Instead of saying "what are the chances tonight someone will try my back door" we get up to make sure its locked. And it takes no extra effort to be cautious. A lot of crime victims are victims because they don't pay attention to what's around them. Like a guy walking thru a parking lot with no purpose....why is he out there. Or a car that seems to turn everywhere you turn. Or someone in a mall not giving you ete contact...they don't want to be noticed. So being safe is just good common sense.

That's absolutely right you say here.
Safety is about performing and/or anticipating actions against situations that may cause you harm;Specially if you live in a non well reputated hood.
Having your tags covered on the web wouldn't prevent an undesirable neirbor drive away with your car during the night while having a relaxing sleep after a tough day at your job site.
I'll be more worry handing my debit/credit card to the clerk at the gas station then covering the tags.
For example,there's gas station where they ask you for your id if you paying with debit/credit card & hold on to them inside the clerk's cabin while you pumping gas several feets away & your stuff outter of your eyesight.
I had an huge argument with the clerk about that situation & following customers didn't fill they cars because of that.
The clerk claimed he had the right to do so following his words itold him: Really ? Ok,so what if money go missing from my account ? Did you wonder who i'll be coming for ?
You can't withold no individual's sensitive info such as debit/credit card & id more then verify that i'm who i say i am.

With that said i had all the station's info such as business license number & called the NYS customer affairs reporting the situation.
