I can check the HU, tax and insurance status of any car on-line.

True, but I don't want anybody being able to check on the status of my car. in Germany this is still treated as a valuable good.

I can walk up to your car and check HU and tax status by looking at the number plate that has to be displayed. So it is public information.
