Funny how that works. The government requires you to register your vehicle. Then it mandates that you put plates on it (front and rear). Of course, they charge you for the costs of those plates, a bit extra if you want so-called vanity plates. And now they want to censor what you put on those plates that you paid for by claiming they are government property. I've come to expect the government to be overbearing, but you'd think the state legislature would have more important matters to resolve than nasty words on license plates?
