Cacher sa plaque et annonce a vendre???

It's a lot easier to browse Kijiji to find a car you'd like to steal than to sit on a street corner hoping for the car you want to pass by. That would be ridiculous..

Je comprend ton point. Mais de devoir corrompre un employé de la SAAQ simplement pour voler une voiture c'est ridicule et contre productif. Comme HM l'a écrit, les demandes d'accès doivent être justifiée et c'est constamment surveillé. C'est pratiquement assuré que l'employé perd sa job, tout comme un policier qui consulte la base de donnée pour des fins personnelles.

Tu spots une annonce sur kijiji. Tout ce que tu as à faire c'est de contacter le vendeur et prend R-V. Tu as son adresse sans devoir passer par personne. M'essemble que c'est pas compliqué. Donc oui, l'argument de cacher sa plaque est stupide. À moins d'être une personnalité high profile, tu perds pas ton temps à vendre sur kijiji.

Agreed, I'm not advocating it, just saying why I think people do it. As for using their thumb to cover it in the photo, that's just a result of technology and convenience making people lazy.

The truth is you can find out a lot from someone's license tags. Officer Mosqueda said that there are both legal and illegal ways to find a person's name, address, the registration and fee history of the car, and more. All this information can be made available to anyone, either through the DMV or through paid services, many of which are online.

For example, in California, to go through the DMV, one would fill out an INF 70 form, which allows people to request information on a given license plate number. The form does list a set of permissible uses, such as driver safety, theft, hiring commercial drivers, etc. but if someone's the sort of perv that wants a person's license information so they can masturbate outside their bedroom window, I don't think they'd have much issue lying on the form.

This method is still an improvement over how it used to be. Prior to 1994, it was easier to get home addresses from DMV records, and this was the method by which the man who murdered Rebecca Schaeffer, an actress from the 90s television show My Sister Sam, got her home address and related information. This murder led to the creation of the Drivers' Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

Private, paid services don't even care if you're a creepy murderer or not— they just take your money and send you the information. Now, this information isn't your blood type and a list of your deepest, most secretest fears, but the possibility to get your address can be worrying.

As for the argument that your plate is already visible to anyone walking by your car, that's certainly true. It's just that the internet can so vastly expand the number of people able to see your license plate that it may become an issue. Still, as Officer Mosqueda told me with a certain degree of poetry, "You can't blur out real life." Sage words, Officer.

Officer Mosqueda's final advice? You may as well obscure your license plate, just to be safe. His attitude was that while it's not likely the information would be found and misused, it could happen.
