HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. — Retired New York City police officer Arno Herwerth hit a major roadblock this week when he tried to dress up his ride in patriotic style.
Arno, a 21- year veteran of the NYPD, wanted to add vanity license plates reading "GETOSAMA" to the 1993 Ford Aerostar he had already hand-painted red, white and blue. But New York's DMV red-lighted the anti-Usama bin Laden plates, banning them under an agency regulation that prohibits anything "obscene, lewd, lascivious, derogatory to a particular ethnic or other group or patently offensive."

Herwerth paid $68 for the new plates, which he received in the mail two weeks ago, but never received the matching vehicle registration. When he called the DMV to inquire about the registration, he was told he should never had received the plates in the first place.
Herwerth, of Hauppauge, on New York's Long Island, told the New York Post he was baffled by the DMV's position, calling the policy "unpatriotic."

Exactly how is that offensive to an AMERICAN ??

There are certain craphole areas of this country that are spilling their crap all over other areas at such an alarming rate, we are all gonna be knee deep in their america hating crap in 5 years, America is in a steep decline.

Sure its offensive to terrorists, it should be, or atleast not what they are rooting for. The question is why are folks in New York that will publicly say they are offended, and they are rooting for Osama to remain at large.

Sickening.

It is because it could be offensive to Islamic extremists. Since when does NY care what is offensive to Americans? They only care about everyone who is not American.

Sadly, the state owns the plates and it is their STUPID discretion that allows for such ideas to fail.

Lol....when I first started reading this thread I pulled a Teddy Kennedy and wondered why we were talking about this guy....



My bad.

[Yuppicide]

I wonder if they WOULD give you a plate that said: "GETSTEVE" or "GETDAVE"...or would that be "obscene, lewd, lascivious, derogatory to a particular ethnic or other group or patently offensive." ?

i dunno if the tense matters but "got milk?" is offensive to cows and people who are spotted like cows with that skin disorder vitigillo



i am willing to bet there is some dairy farmer in the state that has a got milk plate, or milk distributor. I would put money on it.

vitiligo I would also bet 90 somting % of new yorkers dont know what it is, and its % of the population is so small its not a voting block.

They only care about folks that have rights groups.
