I believe this is only if you have "my location" turned on..If you have it set to off it does not know where you took the picture

Taken with my Samsung Galaxy Note II in my garage...
With my toolboxes in the background...

Therefore, the following statement is not necessarily true.

I have not turned on or off any picture feature on my phone, I ain't that smart.

I'm still waiting.


And remember, there are a few people that live in my house, all of them are very proficient with firearms, which there are also a few of.

The whole thing is silly if you ask me.

OR...

Instead of messing with bikers, go to Walmart and find the little old lady driving the brand new Cadillac...

OR...

Drive to your local "good place to work", where the guys make good money, and scratch down a few numbers, then you know when they are working, and they've probably got a garage full of toys.


My point is it is just not that easy to figure out where someone lives based on a plate.

If you have a crooked cop buddy? Maybe.....
