This conversation reminds me of people who don’t bank online because they’re afraid of putting their baking information on the internet. I’ve got news for them: Your information is already out there.
Many new cars have features like being able to go online to see when the next oil change is due, so for these people, the information is already out there. So is your credit score and your accident history, and everything else your insurance company might use to determine your rates.
If you think you can keep your information private without living off the grid, I’ve got news for you. It’s too late. Now you can choose to be paranoid about it or live with it.
Well like @triedaq said, we’ve already had the chip implanted in school while we were asleep. Technology always out paces the law. Just because they can doesn’t mean they should or that it should be legal. We really should not cave so quickly on the privacy issues just because we think that we don’t have anything to hide. That’s not the point.
The assesor can put any sticker on it they want. You hold the title. That is law
Look, you’ve entered into a verbal agreement to sell the existing property to them at a given price. You can’t alter the value of that property or the contract is void. It doesn’t matter that the property title isn’t transferred. If you remove something without telling them you have committed fraud when the transaction is actually completed. The sticker is there to inform those ignorant of the law regarding contracts and who might be tempted to steal something off of the vehicle before it’s no longer in their possession.
