Man named Grabher to appeal revocation of vanity licence plate (Canadian community)

EXCERPT: . . . The Nova Scotia plate, which Grabher had for nearly 30 years, was revoked in 2016 by the province’s Registrar of Motor Vehicles after the agency received a complaint from a woman who said it promoted hatred toward women.

In January, Justice Darlene Jamieson decided that licence plates are not “public spaces” with a history of free expression. [...] “This decision is not about whether Mr. Grabher’s surname is offensive –– it is not,” Jamieson wrote. “The primary function of a licence plate is not expression but is identification and regulation of vehicle ownership. A licence plate by its very nature is a private government space.”

The Calgary-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which is supporting Grabher, says there is no evidence that anyone has ever committed a sexual assault because they saw Grabher’s licence plate. “The plate is an expression of the Grabher’s family pride over three generations, reflecting their German-Austrian roots and heritage,” the centre said in a statement released Monday. “There was no evidence that anyone, including the anonymous complainant, had suffered any harm as a result of the plate. There is no evidence that censoring Mr. Grabher’s name after 27 years of use on a license plate makes anyone safer.”

In Canada that's all it takes, one complaint. Some civil servant somewhere is deathly afraid of being labelled. Consensus is everyone I've heard talk about it thinks the whole thing is ridiculous, let the guy keep his plate. Still, I knew a girl in High School who's last name was Allcock, so I wonder if her family puts it out there for all to see. 

The licence plate censors missed this one, saw it on a car that passed me once....TIHZ O. Scratch your head at first but if you looked at it in your rear view mirror it appears as O SHIT ( can't type backwards Z).

Perhaps he could win the plate back by declaring himself transgender. Since the latter's status on the victimhood scale seems to have a higher rank than feminist concerns in the social justice hierarchy. (As evidenced by the negative reaction toward TERFs and their complaints, along with those in girls' sports.) Transgenderism is ironically almost a kind of back door for men to reacquire special privileges and immunities again -- if they've got the guts to go there.

I'm just seeing that when you try to protect rights you inevitably protect the rights of the asshole. Offering them A55 HOLE plates won't change them. My car was vandalised by a bunch of guys from a car with DEV 666 plates (false plates) - surprise?

Why not? I wonder if being trans qualifies a driver for one of those handicap parking spaces?
