    You can only take them down right after you posted a message. Too late now. Next time please remember this.

    I'll never understand why.

    When the cars are driven the tags are visible to everyone, so what's the big deal?

    Well, I can speak for myself. I've always blurred the plates simply as a courtesy. It's personal information, and the owner of the car didn't ask for/allow it to be spread around the internet. It takes 2 seconds to block it out in Photoshop, and I've had a lot of clients specifically ask for their plates to be blurred out. It's a precaution, nothing more nothing less.

    Saw a black Tahoe with emergency lights in the grille and a government issue Crown Vic that actually had all 4 hub caps!!! I believe they are owned by the tax payers of Chicago and utilized by the fella that was dinning a table or two away from me at lunch today.

    When he arrived he was talking on a cell phone and pacing back and forth. After he completed his conversation one his officers took the phone away to ensure an uneventful lunch.

    I don't want to get off an a political tangent, but his "entourage" was one car and 2 officers smaller than his predecessor who I used to see a few times a summer.

    how about this..... today I saw his predecessor at the same spot (exact same table) having lunch. He came with no entourage, which is interesting, as I know the city approved continued "protection" for him.
