For whatever reason, I did not think that I could just grab your plate, then find out who you are and where you live, etc. For kicks, I entered one of mine and it came back with proper make/model/year. Then I could get it free for 5 days, or pay for a subscription.

I had thought that only law enforcement could look this information up, for obvious reasons.

Lots of info out there on the web, as mentioned I accidentally found that my elderly former uncle had 2 marriage licenses (City of NY) with two different women, which would support my suspicion that my cousins have half brothers and sisters out there in the big city...

If you think that's fun, go to your county assessor's website and search for your name.

If you own property you'll probably find it.

California is the only state to my knowledge that protects property owners' privacy.

yeah. it's scary. all kinds of info up for sale.

you pretty much have to hide behind LLCs and have cars registered as company cars.

we'll all be id'd via blockchain, ... the world is becoming the borg. I'm thinking about moving into the rainforest and start a tribe. I'll need some hot volunteers to build the population.

When I purchased my house in 2002, I was naive. Heck, I was young. lol

My coworker asks me how much I paid. So I told him. Then he goes, that's right--he has my deed from the county up on his monitor. So he was testing me to see if I would possibly exaggerate the price. A couple months later, my boss had clipped something from the newspaper showing the sale and what was paid. So this much I do know...but as of yesterday, the license plate thing was a surprise. As of 2 weeks ago, I didn't know it would take < 60 sec. to find NYC marriage licenses. Maybe if you want to mess around, don't get your license to marry, in a large city. I don't think you can search as easily if it were a marriage license issued outside the City of New York. You could have gotten a license in East Bumbum, NY, and gotten married in NYC. Then, your certificate would be in Albany, and not searchable from what I can see. It takes somebody putting the public records together into a database, and for NYC, there is interest....and it's free to search. Try it, you may find lots of guys who had licenses for mutliple women, this kind of stuff seems to be all over the news now.

Again, I was clueless you could do that with registrations....why should DMV records be public...

Better move quick. In a few years there might not be any rainforest left.

This is something I saw on one of those search sites:Makes sense. There's so much info about everyone out there for sale nowadays, why wouldn't it include your plate number?
