Hidden Number Plates
Hi guys, sorry to bother you with this one, but couldn't find it with 'Search': why are number plates on pictures hidden or 'smudged'? Is it a legislation matter? There is a sticky with an addition to the charter on this one, but it doesn't explain why. Pictures always look a bit weird without them.

There are certain 'legal issues' with having number plates on the forum, someone could claim that someone on here was involved in an accident with them and drove off or something like that because they recognise the number plate. Daniel was actually reluctant to make the Spotted forum at first when it was discussed a while ago but provided number were obscured he was happy to go ahead with it, hence the sticky post about not posting number plates.

Also, it could be easily possible for a bad person to come onto the forum to find identical/similar 480's to their own one, make copies of the number plate and drive through speed camera's or fill their car up in petrol stations without paying. Either way, it's up to you to prove it wasn't you!
