Why are car number plates blurred out on television programmes? Sometimes, when a presenter is doing an outside broadcast or something, cars in the background have thier number plates blurred out.....why is this? Thank you!
It is done to protect the privacy of the car owner. I might see a porche in the city and not know who owns it. If however a footballer was interviewed with his car in background, I would remember his No plate and know what to look out for. ( just an example of course)
Hehehe, but your name does suggest you are the Number #1 Robber :P
Because people can trace registered number plates to find out their owners information, if they are shown very directly (exempting the quick passing of a car on a new broadcast) then people have the chance to find out a hell of a lot of information.
