Can probably stop false police reports against stolen vehicles. They have the make, colour, and plate. Not hard to do it to piss people off.

Should not be possible to make a stolen car report, unless you can prove ownership of the MV in person to a police officer.

However, that doesn't stop someone from reporting a hit/run with that license plate to insurance......

My point is, why is a license plate in a picture any different than the billions of cars people see outside their own house.

People can track you down by your plates.

It's similar to how everyone outside your house can see your face when you walk around but it's not alright to record your face and publicly display it. It's a privacy issue when an unreasonable amount of people can have information about you that normally wouldn't.

Not really. There has to be a proven reasonable expectation of privacy. I could walk around all day taking pictures of people and license plates in public places and there is no legal ramification. I could post them all over the internet if I wanted to, or put them on a sign and march around Times Sq. Go do a search for "license plate" on Flickr. The only discourse the subject has is to ask the photographer to remove/delete the image.

The story is different if you obtain those images in or from a location where that reasonable expectation can be proven, i.e. someone's backyard, home, garage, etc. or if you try and sell those images without any kind of release.

If you're in public, you're fair game. It's those same laws that protect civilians when they record police.

Ugh.

I for one can't stand ultra-feminists that literally will never stop finding sexist connotation in anything and everything, but after looking up this Team ICO, even if they're not trying to be sexist, they need a better PR team.

I Have One Question For Team ICO
Posted on September 17, 2010 by Alex

What the fuck century are you FROM?

In a 1UP post about Team ICO’s next project, The Last Guardian, from this week’s Tokyo Game Show, Matt Leone writes:

Early in development, the main character in The Last Guardian was female, but the team ended up going with a boy. The reason: they thought it would be more realistic that he would have enough grip strength to be able to climb around, and because they wouldn’t have to worry about camera angles with a girl who wears a skirt.

This is the sort of logic that only makes sense in the minds of sexist, retrograde game developers, for two obvious reasons:

1. GIRLS ARE STRONG

Maybe Team ICO are time travelers from the past, but these days, girls do lots of things, including things that involve strength and the ability to hold on to things. Girls are:

– Rock climbers!
– Gymnasts!
– Weight lifters!
– Triathletes!
– Other sorts of Olympic athletes!

THEREFORE, even though it may not be believable to Team ICO, our visitors from the distant past, it is perfectly believable to modern audiences that girls can climb things. (In fact, it is easier to believe that girls don’t have noodles for arms than it is to believe the existence of giant bird-dogs!)

2. GIRLS WEAR FUCKING PANTS

I suppose if Team ICO are time travelers from the past, they may not know about this phenomenon. But nowadays, there are these articles of clothing that are kind of like skirts, but instead of having just one tube of fabric into which both legs fit, there are two tubes of fabric, one for each leg. If you look down, you can see you are probably wearing some right now! Except girls wear them, too! It’s amazing, I know! These articles of clothing make it impossible to look up and see anyone’s underwear, regardless of the person’s gender.

Maybe girls wearing pants is too radical for Team ICO, our time-displaced friends. Fortunately, there is a solution even if the thought of a girl wearing pants (or even worse… SHORTS?!?) makes you send for the fainting couch. There is an article of clothing that has been around for quite some time that aren’t pants, but are thicker and more opaque than tights.

These articles of clothing are called LEGGINGS. Women and girls wear them under skirts or dresses for both fashion and practical reasons. One of the practical reasons is they prevent perverts from taking fucking upskirt pictures.

Giving your female character leggings (which are nearly skintight and therefore don’t even require extra modeling): upskirt problem solved!

But the bottom line is:
IF YOU REALLY WANTED A FEMALE CHARACTER, YOU WOULD HAVE JUST DONE IT.

Are there any of those Star Wars pictures in higher res? Those are fucking amazing. I want to get some posters printed.

[Mythe_Seraph]

I could easily see those being made into a super nice collage type poster or something. Fuck I want those as posters. My girlfriend also showed me this today that I want as a poster. I have a super nerdy star wars room with some walking dead stuff thrown in, it would really tie it all together so nicely.

plz post your car, license plate and what valuables you have lying around your house. better yet how would you feel if your friend took those photos and uploaded them? you still wouldn't care? guess what? that's your call not theirs to make and other people fucking would hence the editing of the license plates.
