It fucking hilarious how wrong you are on all counts. If you only knew who you were talking and weren’t making assumptions on hearsay, you’d laugh too. That is if you have the balls to recognize you were wrong and can admit as such without crawling up your dead mothers vagina in embarrassment.

I know. IDK why I put myself through this. Amazing how many (and I hate this term but I am going to use it anyways) people are just sheeps that go along with the status quo because they watched judge judy when they were 10 years old.

That’s the current state.  My question/argument, is SHOULD it?  There’s a lot to go wrong in using hearsay to establish probable cause, and the folks doing so aren’t exactly trustworthy.

I hate that fleeting glimpses are ever considered as evidence unless that suspect has some more unique characteristic - eg. the Charles Manson swastika scar on the forehead. Not a lot of people with that.

But good thing they had a license plate!  /s

That’s the arbitrary legal definition which I am purposely not adhering to because it is a. arbitrary b. used against regular people and c. is used all the fucking time to convict innocent people.

There in lies the ridiculous and arbitrary measures taken to control the population for the benefit of a few. Which is precisely my point. 

Well, you guessed wrong.  Those are practical and enforceable means of order.  

My argument is larger than just privacy relating to license plates. My argument is also dipping into the very foundation of “evidence” used to investigate, arrest, try, and convict people.

As an anecdotal example, I live in Houston, where we have had a big problem with fake paper plates.

But a licence plate doesn’t identify you to the vehicle unless you have access to the database that information is kept.

Ding ding. Someone with a brain is here! and they like to eat.

No. That’s hearsay, not probable cause, whether you’re running a plate or not.

So? That’s just bull shit written by the same people that want plates. I’m not arguing what they said, I’m arguing the logic and validity of what they say.

But having a drivers’ license and driving around in a two-ton death machine is NOT a right. It’s a privilege

Plates aren’t magically making the road safer.  I’m sorry your so inept at life you need government help to tell you how to exist and believe that it works.  

The key point in my argument is having REAL probable cause. I argue further that simply having a bull shit witness say “I saw a red civic with plate ABC doing XYZ”, is not even probable cause that should police officer to pull over, that’s hearsay and can easily be faked by paying a tweaker a couple of bucks or just…

Because you are walking around with an unique face.

I don’t have to walk around with my drivers license number on my forehead nor do I have to walk around with my SSN or SSN card. If they have probable cause they can pull me over and check if my vin is registered, otherwise why must they be able to identify the owner/register of a vehicle without probable cause? It…

Plates are bull shit anyways. IMO they infringe on my right to privacy. I’m not saying I shouldn’t register my car, but why must I drive around with a unique identifier? The only thing they are used for is to identify me whether they have probable cause or not.  On top of it all, if you’re rich enough, you don’t even…
