“Near ink, you’ll get black; near a lamp, you’ll get…bright!” This old saying surprisingly applies to truck license plate photos. Today, XE TẢI HÀ NỘI will unveil the secrets of license plate image manipulation and how to avoid potential trouble!

What is License Plate Image Manipulation?

Simply put, it’s using technology to edit or change information displayed on a license plate image. This could include changing the plate’s color, adding or removing characters, blurring, or obscuring part of the plate. This can be done with various image editing software, from simple to complex.

Why Manipulate License Plate Images?

There are many reasons why people might want to “doctor” a license plate in a photo:

  • Privacy Protection: Many people want to protect their privacy and avoid being tracked or harassed, so they choose to obscure their license plates in photos before posting them online.
  • Illegal Activities: Some bad actors might use this for illegal activities like selling stolen vehicles or evading responsibility in accidents.
  • Artistic Expression: In photography or graphic design, altering license plates can sometimes be used to create aesthetic effects or add a unique touch to a piece.

Laws Regarding License Plate Image Manipulation

In Vietnam, altering a license plate or using a fake one is illegal and can result in severe penalties. Even using an edited license plate image for online sales can be considered fraudulent and damage the seller’s reputation.

A Funny Yet Frustrating True Story

A friend of mine, who sells trucks online, once posted a picture of a box truck for sale. He accidentally forgot to obscure the license plate. As a result, a customer from Hoài Đức district called to “inquire” because he thought my friend was selling his truck! It turned out this customer was the previous owner and had sold the truck months ago. Somehow, the truck had changed hands again and appeared on my friend’s sales page. Luckily, my friend quickly clarified the situation and provided information about the truck’s origin, avoiding a sticky situation.

When is License Plate Image Manipulation Allowed?

According to legal experts, changing information on a license plate is only legal when authorized by competent authorities and carried out by licensed entities.

Important Reminders

  • Never alter a license plate or use a fake one.
  • Obscure your license plate when taking photos or videos to protect your privacy.
  • Be cautious when buying or selling vehicles; thoroughly check the paperwork and vehicle history before any transaction.
