Every TV episode I have ever watched of Myth Busters I have noticed that the Liscence plates are always blurred out. Anybody have a good answer for this (I'm sure there's a legal reason for this but I just don't know what it would be)?

Privacy issues. A hacker can possibly get VIN numbers, insurance info, stuff like that off those.
