Blur license plates from car show?

If you are doing photos of vehicles at a show would you blur the license plates before posted the images online?

Yes, but not until your question made me think about it. I'd likely make an exception for historic/classic plates.

Thanks for the mental nudge.

Unless asked, I'd never change a great one like TYRFRYR! More: License Plates?

No way. Why would you blur plates when the cars are actually out in public for everyone to see?

I do paid show coverage a few times a year and have never been asked to blur plates. Doesn't make any sense.

Nope - why would you do that?

In my State of Maryland, you used to be able to call MVA and get somebodies address from their plate. That changed decades ago. I see it as unfounded fear. But personal security, is the reason.

I have never blurred plates with a few exceptions. Posting them on the internet would be less dangerous in my opinion than simply driving around locally where the plates are exposed to anybody and everybody, and would be thieves are much closer.
A lot of the folk that own classic and specialty cars have custom plates, and love to show them.
This is an interesting question though.

Thanks for the replies, about 10 years ago I did car show coverage for Hot Import Nights, Extreme AutoFest and DUB Magazine, never was an issue then. I have since been out of the scene for awhile and I noticed that a few Instagram pages that have car show pics have plates blurred out. Didn't know if it was an issue nowadays.

I don't blur them, but knowing my luck, some random guy is apt to find my photo posted online somewhere and hound me until I remove it.

It happened recently but it wasn't because of the license plate.

I wouldn't, just as I don't blur (or remove) the N-number from aircraft. And with aircraft, the FAA's database makes the owners address available to anyone who's interested.

Now if someone asked me to remove it, I would. But I wouldn't start there.
