i could be wrong but it should be doctored , i don't recall ever not blanking out a plate (or modifying) it if it goes on a public forum. i also extend the courtesy to my friends cars if they are in the photo as well.

 

Big difference. You have to physically be next to my vehicle and take the picture - so there is a cost to you to go around and gather that data. Image scraping data costs next to nothing to compile a set of data.. and who knows what that can be used for.

 

Check it -- or maybe I was reading too quick and it isn't you...or maybe you did modify the plate in the picture and did such a good job I thought it was real!

 

modified - in the photo and my avatar there have 2 diff plates.
