All I really wanna know is: do you think they know?

I mean probably they know. It’s their little ha-ha. But you never know, you know?

I choose to believe that they don’t know. :)
COMMENT:
I’m sure they’ve noticed.
My question is, do you think they (car owners) put it like that?
I don’t think there’s any higher a probability that they know or they don’t know. After all, when was the last time you looked at what was written on the back of your car?
I bet they don’t know. My reasoning is it appears to be some type of company car (look in the back windows you will see “0600”). Most people who have a company car don’t really pay that much attention to something; if it breaks they get the company to fix the problem. They probably beat on the car also.
What I want to know is… What company would let an employee drive the company car to BC? If the company can afford a company car why on earth would they let them drive and not fly? I bet they lease the car and think of all the miles that just racked up.
Isn’t it illegal to display a photograph of a license plate in public without the consent of the owner?
and I bet they don’t know.
aww, Jaime- it’s only half a license plate. FINE I’ll fix it… maybe. The way I see it that’s like saying it’s illegal to display pictures of buildings without permission. I mean, there they are- in public.
Interesting… so prolly the poor saps who have to wash the cars everytime they come in decided to have a li’l fun. Cool. I can respect that.
having lived in AB for quite a few years I can tell you that it isn’t a company car, just a rental.
I am in touch with my Inner Tepid. =P
or one of the renters had some fun and no one noticed till you
Am I missing a SERIOUS gap in logic on this?? a picture of a building is WAY different than a CLEARLY identifiable license plate number.
A license plate is a peice of personally identifiable information. A photo of a building (unless it has street names and numbers) does not.
I think it is tactless to leave the license plate clearly visible.
There’s more to the story. I should have elaborated. I can’t remember the location, but I have heard that SOMEWHERE it’s illegal to take pictures of the architecture. The argument is that the image is the property of the building’s owner. blah blah. The point is- your license plate is right there, in plain view. It’s public knowledge for anyone who deigns to look at your car. Making a blanket law like that is silly. Instantly you’re saying that the images captured by photo radar are illegal.
Anyway, I honestly don’t care to debate it. I have no problem altering the pic. I’ll take care of it as soon as I get home tonight.
I’m not commenting on the law at all… I don’t know for certain, but I’m pretty sure, that as long I am on public property, I can take photo’s of whatever I damn well please. But do I ethically? No. And do I publish them, certainly not without permission.
For example, a common photo assignment is to go out on the street and take 50 unique portrait shots. This is REALLY hard to do… and even harder to do ethically. It’s even HARDER to do ethically and candidly. Try it… it’s fun, hard, and a great excercise. Do it as if you were the one in front of the camera.
It’s a simple thing, would you want someone taking the shot of you and using it for whatever? Exercise judgement, my dear, when taking photo’s and even more when publishing them.
Been there, done that. I have a huge love of the character in faces. The key is to stand about six to ten feet away and zoom in, so that your focus is even and you don’t get lens distortion.
And yes, you don’t want to publish someone’s face without permission.
And yes, I agree- put yourself on the other side of the lens. I do. Frequently. Which is probably why I’m so comfortable with it.
lens distortion? you need a better camera. :)
and it is 10600 (look closer) I go with Lady on this one. I was going to guess rental too.
for the love of god. any lens with zoom distorts at the extremes. look at your SLR pics of sunsets and evening skies. see how the four corners are darker? distortion. look at any pic you’ve taken of someone’s face even from arm’s length. distortion. look at any pic you’ve taken from very close range with any lens not specifically designed for macro shots and you’ll see convex distortion.
better camera.
