Is it morally acceptable to send direct mail ads to people by reverse license plate look-up?

that is called a mailing list.\n\nbecause that behavior is objectionable to most people, the lists are opt-in & opt-out, otherwise it's just SPAM!\n\na mailing list is the only civilized way to do this. Don't jam peoples inboxes!

Yes, with a felt tip marker, cross out your address and write "refused" on the package. Leave it for you Postman.

The internet is still such a recent phenomenon, that laws and policies are being created as we speak.\n\nBut unless you're pretty certain they'll be OK with it, you should ask someone if you can put a link to their website on your blog. That would  be the right thing to do from an ethical standpoint as well.\n\nA lot of people create 'banners' for other people to put on their websites as a link to their's. But some people don't mind if you put the URL.\n\nBottom line is, when in doubt check it out. I can't answer your question about the legal ramifications (see link, below). But my bet is that you could end up getting into some hot water with someone if they haven't given you permission prior to your adding the link. Why risk it? It's just a matter of asking.

I work for the DMV and I can tell you that it is absolutely forbidden to reveal other people's personal information, or to access that information as an employee without good reason.  It is both a legal AND ethical violation to do so.  Most states charge you a fee to provide you with limited information regarding vehicle registration, but they will also notify the subject of the search.  You can check in at your local DMV and find out if they waive the fee for a legal investigations.  Of course, it is always under the guidelines of state AND federal laws, and purely up to the discretion of any individual DMV if and what they will release to you.  Good luck in your pursuit.

Overall, I think they are dishonest.  It's all a sells campaign.  They will say whatever necessary to sell you, just like when you are buying a car.

In general, I think that you can somewhat appreciate that it  should be difficult to find out personal details about your neighbors. After all - that neighbor could be you, and I suspect that you'd be a little concerned if your neighbors could "find out what your story is" in the same way that you'd like to investigate your odd neighbor.\n\nThat being said, there are online services, some more reliable than others, that will sell you access to certain kinds of information. One of the identifiers that some of these services use to focus in on the right person is license plate numbers. Then again, many of these services are selling you information that you can obtain for free from public databases. You can easily spend $30-50 or more to obtain these "background reports". \n\nTry typing "License number" and "background" into any of the popular search engines, and some of the major players in this industry will pop up.\n\nYou didn't offer much in the way of details about this new neighbor of yours - keep in mind, for example, that college students who are making a temporary home in your state are not required to obtain a local license plate - I believe this is true of active duty military personnel, as well.\n\nGiven the risk of abuse and especially concerns about identity fraud, I don't imagine that any state's DMV will provide curious neighbors with indentifying information about the registered owners of particular plates.\n\n"Acting weird" should not be an infraction that carries the penalty of surrendering privacy. Unless you suspect your neighbor of some specific and actually illegal act, he should have the right to be left alone in his eccentricity. I sympathize with your "funny feeling", but unless you're willing to pay one of those rather shady anti-privacy sites for the info they really shouldn't be giving away in the first place - I can't imagine how you're going to figure out this guy's background from a license plate number.

I sure hope to hell that they're reading mine.   I think after a while they'd be tired of all the porn, offers to increase the size of any genital area, offers to give me millions if I only pay the fees to free the money from whatever godforsaken country its in, offers to lower my morgtage rate, giftcard offers, etc. that I get daily.  \n\nAlso, most of my family hasn't figured out that all of the chain letters and urban legends aren't meant to be forwarded to your entire address book.\n\nA couple of weeks of reading my e-mail should be fun as heck for someone especially since they'll have to analyze all the spam to make sure I'm not getting coded messages from the enemy.  \n\nHeck, let them read my postal mail.  All I get is bills and like 2 credit card offers a day.  Might as well let em go whole hog.

NO\nyou need to report it to Yahoo UK but first open the mail and go to the bottom of the screen and click "show headers" and  right click and drag to highlight the entire mail and paste it to a new mail addressed to the address bellow. And report all this junk because fools do fall for this junk.

Are you really supposed to be using this as a classified ad site? I'd double check the community standards, if I were you.

If you are looking to use this as a form of advertising for your business, be sure it's not spam if you are going to email the newsletter. That will hurt you more than help. \n\nNow, on the up side, if you target specific prospects and customers, people interested in what you are offering, then you should get measurable results.\n\nI wish you much success.
