Be careful with what you put on your car. People are watching.

This is infosec, not opsec. Opsec would be if you actually did those things you advertise on your car.

SE covers both domains. The fact any if this information can be gleaned for SE purposes introduces a vector to interject in the operation of activity, thus an opsec concern.

I've advocated for people to wake up to this shit, but they still do it.

Alas, let them eat cake.

What do you advertise on your car?

[–] • 4 pts

Literally nothing.

[–] • 2 pts

Good.

[–] [deleted] • 4 pts

No bullshit on my vehicle, not even the license plate cover that says where it was bought. Cover your vin too

[–] • 0 pt

For people who don’t know, in most states having your vin obscured is ticketable

I've never had an issue. Maybe not being a public nuisance has something to do with the lack of scrutiny.

Right, nanny patrol cops walking the city 100% need you to be a nuisance in order to harass you or your vehicle

Don't forget those who put the family member stickers on the back window. "Here are the possible targets"

'My daughter/son is an honor roll student at Shlomo Shekelstein School!'

Great idea, Mom.

My son was Inmate of the Year at (insert penn. here)!

'My loser son can beat up your honor roll son'--a bumper sticker I saw once in Central Florida

[–] • 2 pts

As though knowing the name of some school in the area could make your kid specifically a more likely target

Yes, if the perv sees the car parked at the house, he now knows what she looks like when she comes outside, and can look for her during recess. NO personal info should be on a car.

I bought a van 5 months ago that has a little sticker that says "TRUMP|PENCE 2016" from the previous owner, but I like it and gonna leave it on.

Exactly. It amuses me how people love to advertise their political views on their property, their clubs, affiliations, religion, schools, etc. Baby on board erks me a bit: am I supposed to drive more carefully when I see that? It's like saying "before you decide to ram your vehicle into mine, I have a baby." Given the hatred toward whites, it could have the opposite effect.

"Good thing they had that baby-on-board placard, otherwise I'd have T-boned the hell out've 'em!"

The more non-descript your vehicle, the better.

[–] • 3 pts

For a short time, I had a brown Buick something or other. The most boring, non-descript cars in the world. I used to joke that I could run people down and it would just be "Oh, that's some old man in a buick, ignore him."

Buick Century: the car completely void of style or description.

Preferrably in beige or grey.

[–] • 3 pts

That's it, it was a Century. Belonged to my grandmother, went to my father, and I tried to buy it. He wouldn't sell, ended up rotting away and being given to someone for parts.

It was that Bronze-ish color. May be a boring car, but I will admit that it rode wonderfully, and a road trip in it would be quite pleasant.

Good info graphic. I've heard before that it is a horrible idea to put gun stickers on your car, like those glock or Browning ones that are popular. People will watch your house and try and steal your guns when you aren't home

[–] • 3 pts

Likewise the amateur radio license plates are terrible because they have your call sign. I now have your name, address, and knowledge that you're not home right now.

ham equipment can be pricy AF too.

[–] • 2 pts

Some hams are smart enough to have a mailbox at a store.

But it still makes your name easy to look up

Also tail numbers, but pilots will often have an LLC that "owns" the plane.

[–] • 1 pt

My only real problem with having my actual name and address is that you get the fearmongers that try to scare you into using their service to renew your license (at a cost of course.)

Renewing an amateur license is just going online and filling out a form that basically means "Yeah, still alive, thanks."

Mine just says "I hate niggers"

Good OpSec is putting all those stickers on your car when none of them are true.

[–] • 3 pts

Use to your advantage. Put stickers on an otherwise unstickered car for events, then remove immediately after. The witnesses will only remember the Hitler Rocks! and swastika stickers , not the licence plate.

There was a madlad a few years ago who put Trump and Maga stickers onto antifa cars during some riot a few years ago, when the owners came back they found that their fellow commies had broken their windows with baseball bats and slashed their tires.

[–] • 1 pt

Bur they did it peacefully, so it was OK.

Get them printed on magnets. When done, put on someone else's car. Possibly one with a "Hillary 2016" sticker.

[–] • 2 pts

I use magnetic sheets and apply the stickers on that, trim excess. no residue left on vehicle, can be removed in 2 seconds.

I have a small barbell and black sun casting I made hanging from my mirror, nothing else
