Why would someone take a picture of my plates?
Someone may take a picture of your plate because they have a car very similar to yours, and they want to print the pic life-size, laminate it, and use it as their plate. So if a cop decides to run the plate, the description of the car will match your own.
What is it called when someone takes a photo of you without your permission?
If someone reposts your photo without permission (a license), they are liable to YOU! Even if they didn’t know it’s illegal, it’s copyright infringement. It does not matter if someone reposted your photo but gave you credit – it’s still copyright infringement.
What happens if someone takes a picture of your license plate?
If you were doing something wrong or illegal and someone took a picture of your car and license plate you would probably have to explain to the police what you were doing at that time. Nothing, what a loser.
Should you take accident scene photos after an accident?
While you’re waiting for the police to arrive, taking accident scene photos can be a huge help for making an insurance claim or building your legal case. However, you should only do this if you’re not physically injured and if the scene around the accident is safe enough for you to take pictures without putting yourself (or others) in danger.
Can a photographer take pictures of my car without my permission?
If your car is in a public space, or is visible from a public space, a photographer has a legal right to photograph it. They also have the right to photograph you or the license plate on your car. You can politely ask them why they took the photograph. But you have no right to demand that answer.
Do you know why someone would take pictures of your car?
Neither do they have any need to answer your question. If you are aggressive or hostile when asking, they would be more than justified in leaving the scene without answering you so as to avoid a confrontation. It is highly likely that you know why someone might photograph your car.
