is there any way to look up someones plates
 
You could try entering the licence plate number in one of those Kiosks at the malls and when it goes to verify the information you cancel.

I haven't tried but it might be worth a shot if you really have to know.
 
Look up how - like get their name and address from a plate?

I doubt you can just look it up, but there are Private Investigators who claim to be able to do so for a fee.

How bad do you need the information?

I've always wondered if that would work, pretend like you are trying to buy the used vehicle pkg. No idea really, just idle thought.

I am sure people make typos all the time. It is worth checking out if you really want to know.

I am not sure if they cross reference your banking card/credit card first before displaying the info.

If you post your plate number I will check it out for you. ;)
 
If you have the VIN you can get a used vehicle history package which will tell you the name of the current and past registered owners.

With just the plate number there are a few ways to get the owner info....
 
It used to be possible to go to the MTO office and get the name and address for a small fee. However, privacy legislation now prevents this. PIs can get it though, especially if they are retired cops.

I put a piece of tape over the VIN on the dashboard in my car
 
You can look up the name of a plate owner on the MTO website. There's a small charge and you don't get their address. But you do get their name.

Trying to find out the real name of a stripper, eh? ;)
 
The used vehicle packages from the kiosks only give a name, no address and the vehicles history. you need a credit card to get the info it's not displayed only printed out when you pay.
