@@emanuelruiz7710 hey I'm not jackin it with my phone camera staring at me...but my computer sure can see everything so your damn right I put tape over it.
I love that you guys did this video. I’ve always thought it was stupid that people cover their license plate in photos. Those same people don’t cover their license plates when they drive around....
Think about it a little more. Let's pretend I'm a car thief looking for a Porsche 911 GT3, because I have a client who wants one, or who needs a lot of expensive parts from it. Let's also pretend you drive one of those. What are the odds that I'm going to just happen to see your car on the street, so that I can either follow you home, or get the license plate in order to find out where it lives so I can steal it? Pretty slim, since we don't live in the same city. Now suppose I go online to Porsche forums and Facebook/etc pages and start looking for what I'm after? You've just had your car paint-corrected and ceramic coated, and you wanted to show it off to other owners on the forum, so you posted some pictures and didn't blur the license plate. Turns out we're in the same state, so I run your plate through one of those sites and it tells me who you are and where you live. I'm in Miami, and you're not that far away in Tampa. You've made my task of finding a GT3 nearby much easier. I found my target car in less than 30 minutes, when it might have taken me days or weeks to happen upon one randomly on the streets (It would still be hit-or-miss if I staked out repair shops or car meets). This is why people blur out their license plates online. Why make it easier for the bad guys?
Alright, you’ve chosen a super rare exotic car. I think this video and most of us who make fun of this are because of someone selling a Nissan Altima on Facebook marketplace and feel it necessary to cover their plate.
@@jordanr897 I did choose an expensive, somewhat exotic car for my example, but the most frequently stolen cars aren’t those. The most frequently stolen cars are more like Accords and Camrys. Granted, it would be easier for a thief to spot one of those on the streets, but it’s still a matter of not making it easier for them. It isn’t that there’s no risk if you don’t show your plate. It’s that there’s less risk.
@@tweetdriver i don’t think the car thiefs are going to the trouble of doing a google search on license plates though. I think they’re doing what they’ve always done, and looked for easy targets while they’re driving around in the middle of the night. They stick to what’s easiest.
Sorry my family this is also on the PD/state/federal level. Even if tech companies want all the juicy info on you, the police & state should make it private, these sites (as far as I know) don't use exploitable traffic cams with an not-so-secure internet facing web interface, these are police dash cams, these shouldn't be public and when the police wants to hide something they damn sure make an effort for dash cam footage not to go public! They clearly can make this happen.
@@floodingthesea9366 Fun fact: According to Mr.Snowden, government would just ask the big tech companies, and boom! All that juicy infos are now own by them.
DeeJay the DJ , considering a criminal would be mostly online while trying to steal identity’s why would a criminal go around taking pictures of plates just to get someone’s name and address? Pretty sure they have other ways of getting information, people think their information is worth much but really what can someone do with a regular persons name and address and maybe ssn? Not much
People act like their license plate isn't on display 24/7. Even more so, if someone really wanted to they can get the VIN off your dash and find even more information.
If someone’s really popular online they might censor it so that tens of thousands of people bare minimum won’t see it, for maybe a valid reason such as not wanting the plate to help derive the vin to an r34 in California that should be there, which can than help law enforcement get the owner tracked Sometimes cops will note plates at meets and or popular social media organizing pages for said meets, so why not Plus, very seedy people who don’t display their plate at all due to whatever special circumstances else it could lead to are by effect also smart enough hide their vin too 99% of plates don’t need to be censored but people just do it because they’re copying the TV shows/popular media where they saw that happening, which comes from the producers just limiting they’re liability because it’s relatively easy to do so just to avoid even an unlikely hassle So as a cost benefit analysis sort of thing it never really hurt, it’s just that some people take it too far as far as it’s worth
It's different when you're selling a vehicle online. You put yourself at a slightly higher risk of theft. As far as the VIN number you can get that from the plate without even getting out of your car. So walking up and reading it isn't going to give you much extra.
@@freakymrq yeah, the first 3 numbers is assigned to you based off the state you were registered when you were born, so if you know where someone is born (in the US at least) then you can already guess the first 3 digits.

Golden God You almost lost your job for harassing women on social media?... This guy at my job (actually) lost his job for making racist posts in his Facebook on MLK day. How absurd.... social media doesn’t hurt anyone.
I don’t see a reason for covering up my license plate online when it’s available for anyone to see and look at while I’m driving out in public anyways.
Exactly because the type of person likely to do something like this will notice your car locally and choose to target you or anyone generally speaking within the area they live first. It makes no difference.
Some people on the internet are psycho and if they latch onto your and decide they want to "come for a visit", they will scour the internet looking for any clues they can find to make that desire a possibility. To give you an idea of how much can be figured out, some person managed to figure out the home address of Tourettes Dad and plastered it on a website along with all sorts of images and other information on how he "figured it out". All this was gleaned from watching the videos on his channel. I also know, from experience (curiosity), that you can find out literally loads of information on someone by just having their name and phone number. You can find previous addresses, previous phone numbers, household members, address, tax information, even criminal records. There is a thing typically called "GIS Mapping" where you can put in an address and bring up all sorts of property information and property value as well as registered owner, their mailing address, and even floorplans. All for free. I use that kind of service when looking into who owns random property I see that I have an interest in, but a psycho could use that information to figure out a way to break into you home and murder you (with the aid of Google Maps/Earth). A few slips on some videos and a psycho could figure out your general location (town/city). A few more slips they might find a neighborhood. They might figure out what your car looks like. They may go to that area and keep an eye out for your car for who knows how long until they spot it, then follow you home. Get your address, use it to get your name and mailing address, use that to find your phone number, then the harassment begins.
For people who drive 100 miles a day like me im sure thousands of people can see my license, so i do believe its more so paranoia for people to be like "HEY DUDE COVER YOUR PLATE ITS ALL OVER THE INTERNET"! BLAH BLAH BLAH mean while they're taking pics and posting everywhere they eat and $*** lmaoo i want to know how many people actually know or had someone had anything happen to them after they posted they car online with the plate showing...or are people just spreading useless fear...
The only reason why and when you should, is if the car is illegal, has illegal mods or is doing anything illegal. Like I did a photoshoot of guys doing burnouts down a main road. I took pictures and edited the plates off. Because cops will use it to arrest/harass the guys.
Sweden is special. If I'm correct, Swedes are extraordinarily nice and owning a gun is basically a birthright. At least that's what an old college professor told me, who's married to a Swede.
@@TheBritishPatriot Crap! It was one of them. I stand by my point of being extraordinarily nice, I've never met someone from a Scandinavian country who's outright a dick
Intel Hawk is either doing some shady stuff, or PI laws in those states are SUPER loose. For the region in which I hold my license, a Private Investigator has no more access to information than a Private citizen (they both contain the word "private" for a reason) UNLESS a warrant is obtained from the appropriate law enforcement office.
I live in a state where the law says you have to display your plate right on the back of your car where everyone can see it. OMG I’m going to start driving with my thumb over it now!
@@GilgameshEthics you don't need Nolan's license plate to stalk him, just type his name on Google and you will get his phone number, home address, relatives, etc
On the road, you're nobody. At worst, someone might gain interest because you pissed them off, and even that is unlikely. If you post it online, it can be linked to any opinion you've also post it, and in today's day and age, people are petty cunts.
I still think dudes are paranoid. They’ll drive around and leave their car parked with the plate out in plain view for all to see, but then blur it out in a picture? Kinda dumb
in my country theres a website for every license plate in the country and you can search whatever license plate and find the owners address, phone number, age etc
You forgot that in California you can go the the California BAR site and out in a license plate number and it'll tell you if the car passed smog. It's a great way to tell if that used car you're looking at is a junker or if it can atleast pass smog.
@@silentsamuel_ you completely missed the point 🤦♂️ everyone is so worried about posting your license plate online when any Tom, Dick or Harry could get it seeing you out in public
I was told the main reason for blurring or not showing plates on shows, youtube etc is that sometimes people call and report crimes they saw, even on a video. There are some people out there that are required to report all crimes no matter how they witnessed them, but a full report on a crime involving a vehicle almost requires a tag # since otherwise its a looking for a needle in the hay scenario.
I've got a lot of gripes with my home in the Commonwealth of Virginia but after all the stuff he dug up from that website kind of glad to see my state listed as one of the ones you can't use
@@flashfilibuster5382 You never had any issues, but it doesn't mean you won't in the future. I've read news articles about people in my city who have been shot during Craigslist car transactions. Basically, the buyer isn't interested in buying a car, it's just a robbery. Nowadays, plenty of police stations have designated safe zone for online transactions. That the best and safest place to do your business.
The equivalent of a license plate for an airplane (the N number) is free for lookup on the Federal Aviation Administration website including address, name, and info of the aircraft owner.
@@imoffendedthatyouareoffended dunno if you could translate my comment but you can simply look up someones plate on a website where you can find the owner, adress, all the other vehicles owned by that person, businesses connected to them and more.
@@zizzte2956 well, in the eyes of the civilized world, we prefer to have that data transparent so people dont have a way to run away from police or evade their responsabilities. I respect the law, so do you, so no problem having that data out there, because ... education and civility.
When I was doing asset recovery, we used a program when running a skip trace that would give you all kinds of info when doing a reverse plate look up, but every time we did one we had to fill out a bunch of paperwork for the government on why it was being looked up and it had to have a case number attached to every search. The scary part was it didn't just give us info to the owner but everyone in the owners life from the past including people they worked for and any ex you every lived with or had anything registered in both your names..
There is this company called Lexis Nexis that collects information from all over the place and then sell access to law firms, PI, corporations, government agencies, and academic institutions. I used to work in insurance and we would run LexisNexis reports to track down hit and run drivers. You don’t even need the full plate, you can just use a combination of vehicle description and a partial plate. Once the owner is identified you can then get basically all of his information, including SSN, all addresses, drivers license, all the vehicles he owns, and listed phone numbers, and even relatives. Pretty creepy stuff.
Each state had / has different laws regarding car registration information. In the past, it was completely public in most places. For decades, the Disabled American Veterans was able to get your license number, name, and address to be able to manufacture miniature license plates they'd send you, and ask for a donation. This ended in the early 1970s.
In the UK, just looking at the license plate will tell you instantly the area in which the vehicle was registered when first bought and whether the vehicle was introduced earlier or later in a particular year. That's with the first 4 characters while the last 3 are random. You can also search these vehicle plates online and easily find its MOT history (compulsory yearly inspection of vehicles in the UK). So looking at the mileage can be discarded when the licence plate can be searched online to find the reliability of the vehicle. I'm so happy that the UK is an easy country to live in to find cars(although insurance is crazy expensive for young drivers)
One of the best videos addressing this topic! Great job. Now I know I shouldn't make a funny personalized license plate just to post it around instagram for chuckles. Plus if you're a bad boy, why would you want an easy to remember number plate to begin with.
I had one from 1993 that was on a 68 mustang i had bought from Oklahoma and it came back as a 2014 4 cylinder turbo Mercedes. Apparently after so many years of a license plate number being unregistered it's recycled and re assigned.
@@WhoThisGuy515 Not in the UK. Since 1963 our plates are date-specific (e.g. original 1963 registrations end in A, 1964 B etc) If you pay for re-registering fee periodically you can keep a number without a car indefinately and the number is never reassigned. Before 1963 you can sell original numbers, so classic cars with their first registration number are in demand and fetch more than those without.
I think the only time I would be worried about it is if I had a very rare vehicle that was worth a lot of money. Someone from across the country could see it, realize what its worth, find your address and come steal it. But they would really want to have that vehicle to put in the effort haha.

There’s an ad for “free license plate lookup” under the video 😂
I don’t see a reason for covering up my license plate online when it’s available for anyone to see and look at while I’m driving out in public anyways.
As if anyone could find your car in the millions of cars on the road lmao. Never seen anyone I've seen online on the road
Xalataf I think he just means in general
Exactly because the type of person likely to do something like this will notice your car locally and choose to target you or anyone generally speaking within the area they live first. It makes no difference.
Some people on the internet are psycho and if they latch onto your and decide they want to "come for a visit", they will scour the internet looking for any clues they can find to make that desire a possibility. To give you an idea of how much can be figured out, some person managed to figure out the home address of Tourettes Dad and plastered it on a website along with all sorts of images and other information on how he "figured it out". All this was gleaned from watching the videos on his channel. I also know, from experience (curiosity), that you can find out literally loads of information on someone by just having their name and phone number. You can find previous addresses, previous phone numbers, household members, address, tax information, even criminal records. There is a thing typically called "GIS Mapping" where you can put in an address and bring up all sorts of property information and property value as well as registered owner, their mailing address, and even floorplans. All for free. I use that kind of service when looking into who owns random property I see that I have an interest in, but a psycho could use that information to figure out a way to break into you home and murder you (with the aid of Google Maps/Earth). A few slips on some videos and a psycho could figure out your general location (town/city). A few more slips they might find a neighborhood. They might figure out what your car looks like. They may go to that area and keep an eye out for your car for who knows how long until they spot it, then follow you home. Get your address, use it to get your name and mailing address, use that to find your phone number, then the harassment begins.

yes but I think it makes sense for someone on instagram with thousands or millions of followers to blur or alter their plate.
For people who drive 100 miles a day like me im sure thousands of people can see my license, so i do believe its more so paranoia for people to be like "HEY DUDE COVER YOUR PLATE ITS ALL OVER THE INTERNET"! BLAH BLAH BLAH mean while they're taking pics and posting everywhere they eat and $*** lmaoo i want to know how many people actually know or had someone had anything happen to them after they posted they car online with the plate showing...or are people just spreading useless fear...
@@jcub19 100% agree
You drive around all day with your plate exposed 😂😂😂😂
The only reason why and when you should, is if the car is illegal, has illegal mods or is doing anything illegal. Like I did a photoshoot of guys doing burnouts down a main road. I took pictures and edited the plates off. Because cops will use it to arrest/harass the guys.
So...you CAN obtain someone's personal information if they see it on the internet, huh?

Intel Hawk is either doing some shady stuff, or PI laws in those states are SUPER loose.

On the road, you're nobody. At worst, someone might gain interest because you pissed them off, and even that is unlikely. If you post it online, it can be linked to any opinion you've also post it, and in today's day and age, people are petty cunts.

I was told the main reason for blurring or not showing plates on shows, youtube etc is that sometimes people call and report crimes they saw, even on a video. There are some people out there that are required to report all crimes no matter how they witnessed them, but a full report on a crime involving a vehicle almost requires a tag # since otherwise its a looking for a needle in the hay scenario.

Actually most states dictates that the NCIC can NOT be used to just run a tag. One must have either reasonable suspicion or probable cause.
Law enforcement doesn't share pictures of vehicles like that, those pictures came off of a repo camera car which, obviously, are public domain.

Right!
When I was doing asset recovery, we used a program when running a skip trace that would give you all kinds of info when doing a reverse plate look up, but every time we did one we had to fill out a bunch of paperwork for the government on why it was being looked up and it had to have a case number attached to every search. The scary part was it didn't just give us info to the owner but everyone in the owners life from the past including people they worked for and any ex you every lived with or had anything registered in both your names..
Where can I get this
4:26 thats gta 5 lol
There is this company called Lexis Nexis that collects information from all over the place and then sell access to law firms, PI, corporations, government agencies, and academic institutions. I used to work in insurance and we would run LexisNexis reports to track down hit and run drivers. You don’t even need the full plate, you can just use a combination of vehicle description and a partial plate. Once the owner is identified you can then get basically all of his information, including SSN, all addresses, drivers license, all the vehicles he owns, and listed phone numbers, and even relatives. Pretty creepy stuff.
Cover your plate when driving so people behind you don't find your info
Each state had / has different laws regarding car registration information. In the past, it was completely public in most places. For decades, the Disabled American Veterans was able to get your license number, name, and address to be able to manufacture miniature license plates they'd send you, and ask for a donation. This ended in the early 1970s.
0:44 Get that cursed content off of my screen
In the UK, just looking at the license plate will tell you instantly the area in which the vehicle was registered when first bought and whether the vehicle was introduced earlier or later in a particular year. That's with the first 4 characters while the last 3 are random.
You can also search these vehicle plates online and easily find its MOT history (compulsory yearly inspection of vehicles in the UK). So looking at the mileage can be discarded when the licence plate can be searched online to find the reliability of the vehicle. I'm so happy that the UK is an easy country to live in to find cars(although insurance is crazy expensive for young drivers)

One of the best videos addressing this topic! Great job. Now I know I shouldn't make a funny personalized license plate just to post it around instagram for chuckles. Plus if you're a bad boy, why would you want an easy to remember number plate to begin with.
Does anyone know if it's possible to look up older plates as well? I got two from Virginia from 1972 and 1976. Just curious. ^^
I had one from 1993 that was on a 68 mustang i had bought from Oklahoma and it came back as a 2014 4 cylinder turbo Mercedes. Apparently after so many years of a license plate number being unregistered it's recycled and re assigned.
Usually only cars from 1981 or later come up because that’s when VINs were required to have 17 digits
@@WhoThisGuy515 Not in the UK. Since 1963 our plates are date-specific (e.g. original 1963 registrations end in A, 1964 B etc) If you pay for re-registering fee periodically you can keep a number without a car indefinately and the number is never reassigned. Before 1963 you can sell original numbers, so classic cars with their first registration number are in demand and fetch more than those without.

I think the only time I would be worried about it is if I had a very rare vehicle that was worth a lot of money. Someone from across the country could see it, realize what its worth, find your address and come steal it. But they would really want to have that vehicle to put in the effort haha.
