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 think a lot of it is we're much more willing to edit the articles; I can count the number of times on one hand I saw articles editing at the other site.

    As for vanity plates, I've never owned one per say (and I'm not sure if I'll get one when I buy a truck), but when I lived in Oregon, I dropped the $20 dollars (one-time fee) for the Crater Lake [oregon.gov] plates, since I consider the stock tree to be kinda ugly (YMMV); I have to say the $20 dollars I spent gave me a LOT of satisfaction for money paid; I was quite sad when they got replaced with stock Florida ones when I leased my car to a friend.

    (and yeah, I doubletook when I saw this article; I'm on VAC from yesterday to Sat, so I didn't even see this on the hopper. Just enjoying the view and life from the Empire Builder, crossing the United States by rail).

    Aw geez, I'm jealous. I love trains. Mostly I get to see the outside of freight trains.

    As to custom plates, the obvious is just "SOYLENT" of course!
