South Jersey Woman Sues MVC Over "8theist" License Plate
The Cumberland County woman claims her first amendment rights were violated by the denial.
A woman who was denied a custom license plate that would've read "8theist" is suing the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC), The Courier Post reports.
Shannon Morgan, of Maurice River in Cumberland County, claims her first amendment rights were violated when the MVC denied her request for a custom license plate that reads "8theist." The lawsuit was filed on Thursday, according to the report.
She then filled out an application for a license plate that would've read "BAPTIST" and it was accepted, according to the report. Her complaints to the agency went unanswered.
Previously, the MVC had denied a man's request for a custom license plate that would've read "ATHE1ST," but that denial was overturned, according to the report.
