The flock discourse is slowly climbing the ladder to real discussion. We're at the "mostly intelligent people who are casually interested in the topic being confidently wrong about it" phase (and I know I'm going to get very angry replies accusing me of being one, hah caught you thinking about it!) > log every trip > This system tracks the whole of everyone's movements, every day Funny, because current lawsuits over…

Good luck with that. It’s bad advice. But people will have to read the law and take risks as seems appropriate to them.
So you called my advice bad. Then ignored my questions before retreating. You stated something as thought it were fact earlier (ownership) and then didn’t back it up. How can you own something that is owned by another company? Or said another way, do you have any sound basis to say you are on the hook to register property in New York (you linked to a New York statue) that you do not own. Or is it the LLC’s responsibi…
In other words, the car’s owner is only deemed a resident of a foreign jurisdiction if the car is garaged at a place of business in that foreign jurisdiction AND compelled to register in that jurisdiction.

Sorry to offend, my point is that the necessity of auto insurance will stick your name (as the insured party for that vin) in a place accessible to flock (or at least flock's users). And as such I don't think it provides the results your post suggested "Montana vehicle registrations give you privacy". I really wish it did and I hoped you had some solution!
Ah. I understand now. Thank you for clarifying. And my bad too for assuming bad faith there and/or projecting onto you. I don’t want to believe it’s true that you compromise privacy by registering a vehicle under your name, particularly in regards to flock. I admit you could be right, but I want to investigate this more. Do you think it’s possible there could be car insurance agencies that offer you privacy protectio…

But I believe the intersection of states with highly private registration and where broad form is available is the empty set.
