Umm if the person is in close walking distance then I think you should ask before taking a picture of their license plate. I personally would be weary if I saw someone taking a picture of my car because two men followed me home once and they tried to get me out of the car to do who-knows-what. The cops never found the guys once the guys actually sped off.
So yeah, I think it would be rude to take a picture of someone's personal property without his or her permission if he/she is close enough to be asked.

I don't think it's rude, but it might scare people into thinking you're going to accuse them of something. I see people photographing mine fairly often. It's a personalized plate; 6PAK ABS . Then once in awhile, they ask me to pull my shirt up
