And IIRC, license plates only need to be censored if bad behavior is demonstrated. Notice that the car to the left which was correctly parked has an exposed license plate.
What baffles me is that the plate number is only meaningful to law enforcement. The public does not get access to the records associated with a plate number. I see no reason to hide the info from law enforcement. The evidence may be too low of a standard to be usable, but so be it.
A jealous partner seeing the car where it shouldn’t had been is enough, isn’t it? Or the boss where the worker should had been elsewhere, or…
Inhabitants of small districts also don’t need a license plate database to know.

It’s good sense, regardless of the jurisdiction of a specific Lemmy instance.
Erring on the side of maintaining the privacy of strangers is always better than the alternative.
