Why do people censor license plates..

..when you drive around with them exposed and park in public lots anyway? Makes no sense to me.

my thoughts exactly

It’s just like you can’t legally film someone without their consent, so to get around that you censor out their face. Censoring someone’s license plate is the same thing.
