I wouldn't be caught riding in that. you'd think something like that would be screened out, ROLF.

I read that earlier. I particularly found this part interesting:

Another official is facing consequences after commenting on the terms used on the license plates. Jamie Allard, an Anchorage Assembly member, was removed from her position on the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights after saying on Facebook that “fuhrer” and “reich” are just the German words for "leader" and "realm."

“If you speak the language fluently, you would know that the English definition of the word,” she wrote on her official Facebook page. “The progressives have put a spin on it and created their own definition.”

Another case of the left being racist by pointing out when others are using racist language, in this case when that language is not literally racist.

There was a First Amendment ruling not too long ago barring denying or blocking plates.

I was wondering how it got approval. Must be one of the babies from that ruling.

Or it could be the third car belonging to someone named Reich.

 

[zinfamous]

Why don't we let the Nazis openly and proudly identify themselves when they want to? Isn't that a good thing? Takes all the guess work out of the punching.

I saw one similar to that in Michigan

Or let's say you had a BMW M3, you could totally rock "M Fuhrer" because everyone will know you have an M-car and it's the leader...

This reminds me of what the elephant said with the crocodile fastened his jaws onto it's trunk

Back when I was young and even dumber than I am now, I tried to change my tags to “B1GP1MP” (before giving my old car to my sister!)

Thankfully for her, the DMV rejected my request. Kinda funny that Nazi vocab can slip thru though.

Or it could be owned by a guy named Mark Fuhrer.
Unfortunately, there are still people with the name Hitler around, and while having "1 Hitler" as a license plate doesn't seem like a good idea, it wouldn't be all that nefarious once you knew the whole story.
The point here is that your perception isn't necessarily reality.

Sure, if you have no ability whatsoever to make inferences, then you aren’t really capable of knowing anything at all!

True enough, but that doesn't make them the correct inferences.

Many years ago in the state of Connecticut, when vanity plates were a new thing, one of my co workers had EMWOLB on his plate for 2 or 3 years before the state caught on. Of course he was from, Jamaica, Queens, NY.

Nah.. not really.. (screening)

I dated a girl in college, that had "SWT QUIM" as a vanity plate in Ca. (if you're clueless about British slang, google is your friend..) It made it past the DMV censors.

Most DMV employees are products of the public school education system..

So is it safe to assume you are in the Jamie Allard camp on this one?

I think you have it in reverse: https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/1147/specialty-license-plates

AFAIK, the last ruling by SCOTUS on this issue was that license plates are considered "government speech" and thus, the government can place restrictions on their specialty plate programs.

California can't enforce a ban on vanity license plates it considers “offensive to good taste and decency” because that violates freedom of speech, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

Local character has had this plate for years.

Note the portrait bust of himself on his staff.

 

[Vic]

I'll agree that 3REICH on a license plate is free speech when the RWNJs agree that KLLWHTY on a license plate is free speech.

That staff is funnier than the tow-nuts, at least.
