It's something that eventually the BMV is going to have to crack down on. I assume it's employees injecting their own views and who see it as a way they can proselytize.jdbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011832644439068638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682586583372024505.post-9777144247213572462009-07-01T15:44:33.587-04:002009-07-01T15:44:33.587-04:00I got new plates in Edinburgh a few weeks ago, and...I got new plates in Edinburgh a few weeks ago, and they tried to hand me the In God We Trust plates. I like the logo from the state flag for the default plates. I thought one had to *request* the religious plates. Creeped me out to have to ask for the regular plates.katefatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549159642931529122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682586583372024505.post-45721701504550381382009-07-01T12:11:34.013-04:002009-07-01T12:11:34.013-04:00Trina,

A few Sundays spent checking parking lots of carefully chosen locations could likely turn up a few? I would think that having examples of what they have already allowed would be an essential baseline for comparison. All that, or simply acquire the license plate database from the BMV! ;) You could probably use www.flickr.com or other online photo sharing websites for this purpose.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02406537512052460577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682586583372024505.post-39894206621190667672009-06-30T16:37:07.048-04:002009-06-30T16:37:07.048-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02406537512052460577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682586583372024505.post-5230620269712875302009-06-30T15:33:53.191-04:002009-06-30T15:33:53.191-04:00I think szm was asking if Indiana has allowed PLP&...I think szm was asking if Indiana has allowed PLP's (ha, acronym) that might say something like "LUV4GOD", "GODRULES", or some other religious theme.<br /><br />I see 'em quite frequently here in Ohio and they always give me a bit of amusement and a dash of irritation.yakimushihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04843552347949945829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682586583372024505.post-73599677821163915712009-06-30T15:00:01.134-04:002009-06-30T15:00:01.134-04:00"Do they allow people to express their lurve ..."Do they allow people to express their lurve for Jeebus, et al?"<br /><br />Yes, there is a state sponsored "IN GOD WE TRUST" plate that is a free option to the generic standard plate.<br /><br />I really hate that damn plate.TripleFivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18036803888736856058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682586583372024505.post-22459482452610566772009-06-30T14:43:39.711-04:002009-06-30T14:43:39.711-04:00Do they allow people to express their lurve for Je...Do they allow people to express their lurve for Jeebus, et al?Steevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18074171502703872665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682586583372024505.post-9685830622181260892009-06-30T14:26:08.912-04:002009-06-30T14:26:08.912-04:00I'd say go for it.
