Dang, I barely even have the audacity to walk up to someone's house. I'd be fine if I were in a car, though. I missed a Virginia and a Tennessee plate due to this problem. Great spot!

Oh. Didn't know that. I have one photo taken in front of my house, but I can't remember which one.

I’ve done it via sidewalk, it’s legal that way, these two are an example

I just want to add to this discussion to say that while it may not be wise, you are legally allowed to take photos of peoples driveways in the United States as long as you don't step foot on their private property. That's part of your rights as a photographer which I think everyone (especially car spotters) should learn.

If I don't even have the audacity to do it as it is, I would definitely not set foot on their private property. I have done it from the road before, though. It was a very old plate that had to be photographed. My neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks lol.

Yep, that's true! Just to add, South Carolina is a bit of a "Guns are a way of life" state, so I'm not trying to get glocked or anything. Funny thing is that my neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks, so I'm all good, since I'm far enough away.
Additionally, there was this guy in my neighborhood who was apparently taking pictures of the houses down my street. One day, I had opened my garage door and gone outside, and this dude packs his stuff, jumps in the van, and flies off down the road. I don't want to look like I'm doing that, too.
But overall, the laws do let you take pictures in front of houses, so I guess I shouldn't be too afraid, but like you said, it's smartest thing to do. Thanks for that!

Something I learned while car spotting here in NY/CT is that nobody is going to risk going to prison over someone taking a photo of their car. You're nobody to them. I've had one or two encounters where people call the police on me for taking photos of their car on Greenwich Avenue but I tell them "go ahead and put them on speakerphone, I didn't break a law". That usually deters them from doing anything further.
One time someone (who I now believe was a drug dealer) told me that if I took a pic of his plate on his Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk he would break my camera. I did it anyway and he didn't do anything about it.

I always thought about telling some stuff like: "I find your car very interesting" or something like that, but I've never thought of this approach. Way smarter approach, because they have no comeback or valid point to combat this approach.
I've noticed that people like to talk big just to intimidate you and make you scared of them. Plus, if he broke your camera, he'd have to pay up, anyway.

I'd be more willing to take the risk if it's a far from home vehicle, especially if it's street-parked. I feel more comfortable photographing a street-parked vehicle from out of state. I've done it before, actually lol.

As Rivitography mentioned, while legal, it may not be wise to do so. My personal thought is that folks probably don’t want pictures of their house included and it’s just a tad creepy seeing a guy walking down your street taking pics of your car/house. They want to have the privacy at their house and I have no problem with that and respect that. Now while in parking lots and in public places, it’s game on!! Just my 2 cents.

Yea, that's also how I see it. Maybe street parked would be okay too if their house isn't in it, but idk, I feel better taking pictures at like a parking lot, on the road, or in town.

The plates from out of state are also college students who live in the house, and I mean I don't think they would care too much but eh like I said in another comment, I'd rather do it somewhere in public
