Popular Post problemfarang Posted June 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2023 so the muuban manager where im living at the moment posted some of the wrong parked cars into our muuban line group, and kindly warned them to move or park another place. then one of the car owner said that he should blur the number plates of the cars because its violating some kind of human rights or privacy law.. something like that. so i was wondering if he was right or not. Or in what cases we should blur the number plate. What about the case i told you.. thanks 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Moonlover Posted June 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2023 It started as security measure to protect important people (choose your own interpretation of that) from criminal acts, particularly terrorism and assassinations. Now it's just become a habit that many think is a must do. no matter who they are. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lacessit Posted June 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2023 A visible number plate means the car owner can potentially be identified with a registration search. It could be construed as an invasion of privacy; however, this is Thailand. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post recom273 Posted June 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2023 If whoever parked correctly, then they wouldn't have their photos taken, right? So what's the issue? Locals seem to have issues with this public loss of face. Wether or not they are blurred, the cars will still be identifiable, I should imagine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I doubt if there is any law, reference to OP's. I'll blur plates if in my photos, if I post somewhere, rare. Just a courtesy, as wouldn't want my numbers posted. Though I'm sure I've probably posted mine one somewhere. Legally, in the USA anyway (I know, TIT), but in the public domain, there is no right of privacy, usually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be construed as an invasion of privacy; however, this is Thailand. "A visible number plate means the car owner can potentially be identified with a registration search". Obviously, that's the point of them! The public does not have access to vehicle registration databases in order to get the owner's details. "It could be construed as an invasion of privacy". Nonsense. How can "invasion of privacy" apply to something that the owners of the vehicles publicly display 24/7? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've misunderstood, I was referring to the juristic person not blurring the plates when posting the photos. It is not uncommon to see cars with no plates in Thailand.

rwill Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Plenty of news articles with plate numbers shown, though sometimes they are blurred out too. You could ask the police but they probably don't know what the actual law is either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthainess Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 In Theory as TIT: If private land then blurred, If anywhere in public not necessary, although apparently kids faces must be blurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger70 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Only Blur the number plates when they have something to Hide, That's what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
