The only reason I know anything about them is because my father-in-law works at the only place in the U.S. that makes them.hurdy-gurdy (it's a real thing, look it up!)....

I agree. At the very least, cover or blur the plate, or just don't show it.I thought it was odd that the owner of this early vehicle would allow so much filming…. Makes sense that the shop just did it of their own accord.
you’d think a place that deals in high end vehicles would have more discretion. But that doesn’t make content I guess.
The plate doesn’t matter. Average person cannot run a license plate.I agree. At the very least, cover or blur the plate, or just don't show it.
Right. And even if they could, plate numbers are public knowledge, and all drivers actively display them any time the drive...The plate doesn’t matter. Average person cannot run a license plate.
This is not entirely true and the reason for blurring out a plate in TV shows, and on the internet is that is greatly expands the number of eyeballs and bad actors who could obtain that information. Depending on the state, people can use a license plate to gather information about the vehicles owner. Seeing a plate in person is one thing, displaying it online or television raises privacy concerns. I work in media production and on commercial filming this is something legal teams will often require. We sometimes have to do it with tail numbers of aircraft as well, even though anyone can search the FAA database.Right.

I understand the concern from a privacy perspective, and I would never display someone else's information without express permission. The detailer f'd up IMO. But from a legal viewpoint, this is a non-issue. There is no reasonable expectation of privacy for something that is routinely displayed in public.This is not entirely true and the reason for blurring out a plate in TV shows, and on the internet is that is greatly expands the number of eyeballs and bad actors who could obtain that information.

Google cites this as the reason they blur license plates in Street View.

Since I’m not an attorney I can’t speak with certainty, but I do agree with you that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. I’m sure there are some lawyers who are better versed in the legal implications as it pertains to this specific area. I just know what we have to deal with when it comes to commercial filming for major clients.I understand the concern from a privacy perspective, and I would never display someone else's information without express permission.

Sadly, that plate is still seared into my OCD brain. I'm glad to see the guys finally blurred it out after broadcasting it to everyone. And, yes, it does matter. At least it would if it were my plate.This is not entirely true and the reason for blurring out a plate in TV shows, and on the internet is that is greatly expands the number of eyeballs and bad actors who could obtain that information.

I agree 100% Typical strategy from a "Youtuber" to try to maximize eye balls. Apparently that gives the creator more money so youtubers trying to get maximum money on their videos will continue doing that. I equate that with Clickbait. My best remedy is to not watch these kind of creators on YT. If they are new to me I give them a few shots but if that is how they do all their videos they go to my list of "not to watch"Great video but I have to say the cover photo and title are what I hate about the internet. They found some very minor issues nothing to freak out about. Yet the title and photo make it seem like a train wreck.
