We share quite a bit of info on here. Most people that drive by you on the street every day know nothing about you or me. ID theft and privacy is my main reason for not showing my tag. In most states, drivers license registrations are public record, because of laws that prohibit the government from keeping most forms of information a secret. For a fee, you should be able to maek a public records request to get the information. So I could go to the DMV pay I think it is $5.00 and find out CD's...home address, driving records, etc. Although I would never try to steal somebody’s identity there are plenty of people that would. It may be hard from simply getting a license plate number, but it’s always a good idea to be on the safe side of things. Being overly cautious is always better than being on the wrong end of an online crime like stalking, bullying, or identity theft.
