I'm asking you to broadcast your license plate on open internet with enough info to connect it to a certain situation, as might happen when stuff is said on radio for anyone to hear. Sucky situation, especially if you're a victim of a crime.

They should've encrypted it a long ago.

I think you’re well aware that a username with death threats, linking with a real identity, is much different than broadcasting “run this license plate is it clean?”

And why exactly are we broadcasting the license plate of a victim?…
