The New Hampshire Supreme Court recently struck down a law that restricts potentially offensive vanity license plates. According to Seacoast Online:

In a unanimous decision, the state Supreme Court agreed with the arguments of David Montenegro, who wanted the vanity plate reading "COPSLIE" to protest what he calls government corruption.

State law prohibits vanity plates that "a reasonable person would find offensive to good taste." But the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union argued that the law is unconstitutionally vague and gives too much discretion to a person behind a Department of Motor Vehicles counter.

    I once saw in Mountain View several years ago a vanity plate of a Yahoo employee which said "KILLAOL". I wished I had my camera with me but didn't. Well, someone saved [google.com] me the trouble.

          She, and no. I believe it was actually her parents vehicle that they gave to her. I do not remember the specifics, but she never once made a Get Smart reference.
