Why? I’ve never understood this practice. The number plate is already out in public nearly 24/7 anyway, what difference does it make if it’s unobscured in a photograph, unless it’s a stolen car or plate or something?
- sschueller 5y agoIn countries like Switzerland where we have strict privacy laws you can not just post pictures online of cars plates that may expose someone's privacy. For example a parking lot at a cancer hospital. The owner of a car can be identified by plate and therefore you need to make sure you don't expose them possibly having cancer etc.
