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.

When I first came to the US I got conned by a curbsider into spending $2.5k for a car that must have been worth closer to $1k. The thing was crap but I kinda liked it. So I bought it "CRAP CAR". I was very surprised to be allowed to have the plate. It was lot of fun, people would always be photographing the car from behind at stop lights. It really made having a rubbish car well worthwhile.
