That’s a Really Bad Choice For A Personalized License Plate
Are you considering getting a personalized license plate? You might want to make sure you consider your choice VERY carefully.
Jim Monaghan with you on a Monday morning. We had a nice weekend. Don’t know how you celebrated. Maybe you got together with some friends, an adult beverage or two.
I was the one sitting in the back yard yesterday playing with the dogs. They wanted to play catch. And so, I mean, it must have been a half an hour. Throw the ball, bring it back, and then they don’t want to give it to you.
But that’s beside the point.
At the same time, enjoying a nice, cold adult beverage, perhaps you did the same.
Which is why on Mondays we like to ask how were you – How F’d Up Were You?
And hopefully not as effed up as these two people who kind of advertised what was going on?
Two people in Missouri pulled over. We’re not sure why, but when the cops got to them, they immediately fled the car. Again, we don’t know why the vehicle was pulled over, but the license plates may have had something to do with catching the attention of the police officers.
Because the license plate said, “WE HIGH.” They were both caught and arrested, the case still under investigation.
Now, that in and of itself the may not be illegal for a license plate. According to the Department of Revenue in Missouri, no personalized license plates shall be issued containing any letters, numbers or combination of letters and numbers which are obscene, profane, patently offensive, or contemptuous of a racial or ethnic group or offensive to good taste or decency, or would present an unreasonable danger to the health or safety of the applicant of other users of streets and highways or the public in any location where the vehicle with such a plate maybe found.
Now, I don’t know if “WE HIGH” violates any of that. I don’t think so. But again, not being a lawyer, I really can’t answer that.
But there may indeed have been some truth in advertising with regard to that, in which case, Stephen A has a comment.
Apparently not.
And that’s this morning’s How F’d Up Were You here on the DHA morning jolt.
