I always have my VIN number covered..its not illegal in TX unless its non-removable
There is a big problem with people taking fake insurance policies out n a unsuspecting vehicle owners and then filing fake claims and your none the wiser

Well,
If you were driving around with this is in, it is easily removed. Also if you were to get pulled over you could take it out, and your vin is also on your registration.
I do not want to seem like a dumbass, but can they really make a set of keys strictly off of the VIN number? because that's just stupid as hell if it is true. I have bever had to make another set.
I thought if they were the Chip/Coded keys they needed one of the originals to make a spare?
Thanks, Roger

On another note, most cops nowadays are so dumb they wouldn't even know to ticket you for covering your vin number. I was at a car show in Windermere this summer and I saw tons of late model street cars with illegal mods, hoods up and goods exposed. The local cops were there overseeing the event and not a single ticket or warning was issued. This just goes to show that most of them couldn't tell if something was up to code even if it was under their nose and accented with flashing leds, candy paint and chrome.

Let's say someone else got your VIN, they can go do the same thing, often with no need for ID.
That's the jist of how it goes.

Wow, and the law enforcement community wonders why everyone (both criminals and non criminals) hate them.

Boy, this crowd is tough to please.
its ok, public will always be upset at the local law department. They are either upset they get caught, or upset they couldnt pass the test to join them.
Either way, why couldnt you just enjoy the show without picking on the police officers who WERENT picking on you?

Pretty sure when a car gets stolen most of those rings strip the cars down and get rid of the parts...so wouldn't that mean the car is in 1,000 pieces and THAT'S why the cars are so hard to find...?
And are you going to be stopping everyone with a Camaro and Trans Am now just to see if they have there VIN covered with something that can be removed. I'm pretty sure your time would be better spent pulling someone over for a legitimate reason, like excessive speeding, driving erratically, etc. PERSONALLY, I would want my officers PROTECTING me like they're supposed to instead of trying to target someone to give them a silly ticket.
Seriously, get real man.

FreakishSpeed, Please stop ruining this thread. You have already set a bad example for officers and proven our point exactly with the way you are acting.
Also, you should remember that laws vary from state to state. For example, and as stated earlier, up north they have automated ticketing systems. In the south, it's unheard of. That's why down here there are no laws, or none that are common knowledge to both cops and us, pertaining to covering VIN plates.
If you could get off your high horse, please understand that cops are not some piece of idol worship that people fawn over, it's just another position in the government machine. It's your job, you don't need to take it home with you and advertise the fact. You are not special.
And don't misunderstand me, if you say that I'm a cop hater. I am on good terms with a lot of local and state police. Hell, they even do favors for my family sometimes.
Point is, this is a good, very productive thread, so don't come in here posting more **** like you have been.
