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.

    Well it appears this Montenego character (or "human" as he legally changed his name to) just painted a not-insignificant bullseye on his vehicle. Have fun with that one.

    Hopefully NH's wiretapping laws don't apply to public situations, and he can hide various cameras/microphones around his car to prove what his license plate says.

      Currently a matter working through the courts. I may or may not have instigated one of those cases. ;)
