I have been learning some database stuff today. Finally understand the drop table thing better.

I think this would get you charged depending on the locality, do not try at home kids

Image is European but I'm pretty sure here in California trying to obscure your plate is illegal. Though I'm not sure what actually counts against it, since I know a couple of people with those bullshit plastic films that claim to obscure your plate from traffic cams but not from people looking at it.

They don't actually work, but I feel like the intent behind using them could get you in trouble.

I'm pretty sure obscuring your plates is illegal in most places in Europe. How much anyone actually cares probably depends on specific locality.

Where I live, you only need valid plates to drive on public roads. If the car is parked or you drive on private property, there's no problem. The procedure for getting plates requires you to not have plates for like 2 or 3 days.

Cars can still be identified by the VIN which is on the windshield.

There's no requirement for front plates in my state.

I'd be more worried that this could count as some form of cybercrime.

I made a joke elsewhere about Amazon's search thing using AI to generate a string that would crash the Amazon server and thought about that too afterward. If that actually worked, could someone be charged with a crime?

I'm only using the tools provided, not accessing anything that's clearly pointed out I shouldn't. If anything, that question field is specifically designed for me to use.

Knowingly doing something that could be malicious is still malicious.

If I go to a hardware store and start taking a sledgehammer to the walls "I'm only using the tools provided" is not going to be a valid defense.

Id guess maybe, if I generated a string using AI and intentionally crashed their stuff, it might be crime.
