Is it illegal to take a picture of license plates?

A friend tells me it's illegal to take a picture of license plates... I don't think it's true since they are basically needed and are public information.

No, it is not; however, you should use discretion when displaying those photos. If they are to be put on the web or published in any fashion, they should be blurred out as a courtesy to the vehicle owner, unless you get permission from them to display it. |

No - it is not illegal to take pictures of license plates. License plate numbers themselves are not sensitive information - if they were, they wouldn't be on your bumper(s) to be seen by everyone who follows you or walks or drives past your parked car. |

No, it's not illegal. However if you are publishing a picture to the web which shows the plate clearly it *may* invade on the persons privacy, so it really should be blurred out. |
