Alright, there may have been some confusion, but the reason you cant see all vehicles and gangers of other gangs is because sam finally got around to change it so you cant spy on others this way, mainly for the PvP.

How it works is that...

- Any vehicle in a hidden squad is hidden from others on your vehicle page
- Any characters/vehicles that are either participating in an event or are traveling are hidden from the character/Vehicle page.

If you are wondering why you cant see any characters at all on some character pages, it's because of (What I think is) a bug, if their gang leader is in an event/traveling all of that gang's gangers are hidden from view.

Sam probably forgot to announce this, and if I weren't supposed to then I'll await my slap on the wrist, but I hope this will clear up some of the confusion.

Edit - Info is from the RC forum

I didn't notice this since I haven't spied on anyone lately, apart from peeping at Damon_Angel from outside of his window, but this is helpful information. Thanks FF!

Thanks FF! I was too busy to post anything yesterday and then forgot about it.

edit: don't want to fuel any drama, but just to clarify that it was indeed goat's urgent message to me that prompted action. But also that others, including quite recently Firefly, had asked for the same thing. It just so happened that (a) I had time when goat asked, and (b) the whole viability of the current wave of camp-pvp tests seemed to be in jeopardy without it. This made it critically important, more than before, IMO.
