Hide your rego no?

On the A4WDM forum, this appeared http://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/forum/showthread.php't=24886

I know that none of us would do this to a fellow member, but maybe we should all consider who else can read our posts.....

There was a link to a thread on the Jeep forum but the thread has been deleted.

I don't know if any of us have really extreme mods but maybe blanking your rego no. may make sense.

There is, on that thread shown above, some correspondence between the protagonists.

Uhmm. Isn't hiding, defacing, obscuring your rego considered a no no by the fun police?

He's only referring to posting photos on the forum I think

Thanks for the heads up Ron.

Ah. Still appears as if some body considered it serious enough to report it to Transport.

Some times the safety of others must come before personal bents.

Of course you have the right to disagree.

I have always hidden my rego number in online photos as well as anyone elses rego number if I post a pic of their car.
I have nothing to hide but it is one less piece of identifying info out there.

Good idea. Maybe it was something to do with the vehicles mods?

Before jumping to conclusions does anyone know the nature of the mod's referred to on the forum in question? Who knows they may have been highly illegal?

That said I would think that just cause its a picture on the forum doesn't even mean its real now days. Have a look at my avatar... it's a 2 door 03MY Disco...no really it is, honest

My point exactly in my post above.

I have long wondered if the special glass and associated electrickery used in instant darkening welding helmets could be used over number plates as a defence against revenue cameras. Any comments?

It may well be illegal, but there is no place in a democracy for governments to engage in covert surveillance of the citizens. Governments that do this should not be surprised when the citizens take steps to warn themselves of such surveillance and take steps to defeat such surveillance.

Don't know about point 1. but I'll fight by your side on point 2

Any law that must be enforced by threat of punishment is corrupt and should not be entertained.
