> ...is not vandalism It is. It definitely is. I get that it's annoying to see someone getting away with something. But that doesn't make it your right to address it however you see fit. The point I'm trying to get across is that even though the other guy is wrong, that doesn't make it alright for you to do whatever you want in response. The lawyer is doxxing the guy too. People really need to get a perspective on this kind of thing.

Amusingly, I would counter that the people who think this is vandalism are the ones who are lacking in perspective.

  It's not a matter of perspective, it's a matter of law. Being morally in the right doesn't make it not vandalism. But by all means, do it anyway. I certainly wouldn't lift a finger to stop you.

Why are you making these outlandish claims - of course it is not. You do not even pass intent.

Or it is an act of civil service. Driving with an obscured license plate is illegal and could get someone in real trouble. Obviously nobody would want to intentionally break that law. By removing such an unintentional obstruction they are doing the owner of the vehicle a favor - provided it doesn't damage the car itself, of course. Similarly, if you see someone throwing trash out of their car, picking it up and depositing it in a trash can does not count as theft. Removing a third-party sticker from a traffic sign does not count as damaging it.

  > Obviously nobody would want to intentionally break that law. Have you never heard of civil disobedience? Maybe not everyone wants to live in a surveillance state..

  It's not an act of civil service. Nobody asked you for help. You put it upon your self to impart judgement on others with no authority. Did they ask for help? No. Are you damaging the car? Yes. Are you intruding on others rights? Also yes. Stop being so self-righteous.

I don't understand how people don't understand that it's not their job to police others. You aren't an authority, nor has anyone asked you to be. This is no different than MOB mentality whre you think you have some kind of authority. We have a government for a reason, to handle this kind of stuff. These people want more oversight, but at the same time, they don't want it???
