I live somewhere in Virginia, obviously. Not sayin' where I live... Public forum.

Nobody cares what city you live in. How are they going to find you? I wouldn't post my address publicly though. A lot of people put waaay too much info out on the net.

Being careful...same with Facebook (which I've done almost nothing with for years).

The way I was raised...what I've been through...

I don't know... Maybe I guess that the more personal info I put up here, the easier it is for someone (say... the proverbial boogeyman, or, worse, Big Brother) to figure out exactly who I am and track my every move without me knowing it.

Government stalking... there's a good topic for the Tall Table.

Gotta keep the monsters under the bed at bay. Grin

Not blurring your plate can, in some states, give non law enforcement your address, I've tracked someone down in Texas that way
DMV, owner's name is, or was, a matter of public record (that might have changed since 911) then, if the person is listed in the Yeller pages, you got his addy, see how simple that is?

I don't blur my plate, coming to my home with evil intent would be inadvisable Lips Sealed

because{a) internetz peoplez sez to doit
(b) people are irrational
OTOH, most of us probably aren't directly interacting with fellow drivers like we're interacting on the interwebz
Take the recent case of a youtuber called Thunderfoot, a rationalist who recently debunked a lot of false claims made by feminist youtubers, including one group who then reacted by 'docsing him, and trying to get him fired

Turns out he's a tenured professor, and they couldn't touch him, but he did get their channels shut down for harassment
now what if he had YT vids on the interweb and they got his plate #, discovered they were in spitting distance of his home, and decided to carry the battle off the web?

get the point now?

Yes and no. I see your point but even with a blurred plate you could probably still find someone. I tracked an Ebayer to within 4 miles of my house. He posted very little info about himself on his ad but it was enough that a few detailed searches got me a map to his house. You'd be surprised what kind of info is out there! BTW, your left shoe is untied. Grin

I didn't say it necessarily works, I just gave an example of a reason folks might do it
and your info is quite false
while one might assume my left shoe is untied, because I'm not wearing it,(or the right one, either) I levered them off without untying them last night, so my left shoelace is in fact, tied Tongue

and BTW, how'd ya like my 'pec dance' rendititon of the headlights of a police cruiser pulling you over just now? Grin
