Interesting , I drove by one of those ,XXX, adult store, male entertainment spots off the interstate last week and noticed how many cars (without front plates) were backed in so you couldn't see their plates.

Why would they care if you could see their license plates? That tells you nothing...

Not every one wants people to know they go to these places. Your license plates tells people who you are.

Besides the photo enforcement, there is the bridge and freeway hot lane toll collecting by photo. Even before those, the police could run your plates when in front of you with front plates. Here, not only do they require front plates, we have to replace them every 5 years (fee, of course) so that they can "be seen better."

Front license plates should be REQUIRED for every state. Acts as a good tool in a possible rear end collision, more likely to quickly get plate info- particularly if it is a hit and run.

Not really, unless if you have a personalized plate with your name on it.

So I have been under this misapprehension that the county ,state , and specific combination of letters and numbers on my car's license plate are not specific to me ,but can be given to multiple drivers?

How Do You Look up License Plate Numbers?


The website SearchQuarry.com - Public Records Search Service allows users to search for information on car owners by typing in the VIN or license plate number.

How does a license plate tell people who you are? Seriously?

That costs money. Who's going to scout out cars at an Adult Book Store just to look these people up online? Who even thinks this up, besides you?

Yes, seriously. An extended family member, friend, co-worker might remember your plate number. It's happened.
