Scrutinize Exercise



1

Since most license plates in Oregon are three letters followed by a space and three numbers, should the state ban the "XXX" series (for sexually explicit movie reference)? the "SAP" series (for personal embarrassment to the driver)? the "WAR" series (for pacifists)? Can you think of other three letter combinations that could cause trouble or negative reaction? Is public communication as seen on vanity plates worthy of state intervention? Do states regulate any other forms of public communication? Should the state have similar control over window decals and bumper stickers? Why?
