Why are car number plates pixillated out on TV programmes and in the press ? It can't be to stop cloning, can it, because anyone could copy the number of a car anywhere ? Is there some reason in law or practice dictating this?

Maybe to prevent identification or tracing them via the number plate and registered owner.

you can request details from DVLA from a car registration, unless the number is protected.. like mine!

Never knew you could do that, sara . It did seem odd that the number was hidden when the programme was only about the renovation of a house, but any burglar might just be interested to know where the nice house, and its nice contents, were to be found!

I am a Trustee for a small charity and have had legal advice to block out all vehicle registration plates on any of our vehicles or those of members used in publicity. This is because, even if we have the owners permission, they could sell the vehicle and the next owner could object.
