All who do this are skating on thin ice. If you notice now on new cars/truck where the VIN is located there is a bar code. The authorities can just scan that barcode and know everything about you.

The next generation of car/truck computer known as ODBIII will allow the authorities to just drive by your vehicle with a handheld scanner and "beam" all information about the vehicle and it's owner and registration, insurance, etc. without even getting out of car. Not here yet but very soon. The days of skirting the issue are about to end.

Just think about it. Your local Barny Fife on the night shift with nothing to do will just drive around your town and "beam" vehicle information about you and your car/truck/motorcycle. Even if in a garage. Your only solution is a lead lined garage. And all scanned data will be saved. So you guys and gals with secret amorous escapades - this data will be available to those who seek it.
Where are you finding this information about ODBIII? I haven't heard of such a standard. I've put an ODBII Bluetooth adapter in both my boat and car and there's no way to read anything but engine information. And there's no way to input personal details. You can reset engine fault codes but that's it.

Also, what do you mean when you say Mass. will give you an issue if you park a car with NH plates? You can park a car in Mass. with NH plates as long as it's not "principally garaged" in Mass.
