Do you think the fear of going to jail should stop people from doing what they think is right?

You know that if I took a picture of it you could be saying the same exact thing, that there’s no proof I own it and I just took a picture of a car in a parking lot.

Please keep going and let me point out more holes in your logic

I know I should stop replying but I know you’re getting mad/embarrassed so I’ll keep going. OK, say it’s not my plate, I picked it from a random car in the parking lot. Who owns it? Just gimme their first name.

Yikes sorry I correctly called you out for making shit up and now you’re lashing out. Also, ‘MN’ is the abbreviation for Minnesota, not Michigan lol

Literally just type it into that website.

lol thanks for admitting you’re full of shit. If you type in a plate on this website, it’ll tell you if it’s real or not, it even tells you the make and model for free. Try looking up a fake plate and you’ll see it says ‘no results found’

Couple things - first, these ‘data brokers’ wouldn’t be getting a picture of the plate if you searched it up on the database, just the plate number. Second, why would having a picture of it even help lol. It would just be the verifying it’s my plate and I already gave you the plate number, explain it first before I even bother.

No, because then you could use the metadata in the picture to find out where I took it, I’m not stupid. Tell me the name or the address of who has that plate.

OK, SMU-248 MN. You’ll be able to find out its make and model, that’s it, unless you work for law enforcement or an insurance agency. If you’re able to find out my name from it, tell it to me, but it’s literally impossible/illegal

TMZ has been holding DC’s feet to the fire 100X more than any of the legacy media outlets this administration, too

..what could your license plate number even be used for

How would a company knowing your license plate number help with that. I don’t want them to have it (or anything else), but I legitimately cannot think of a use case
