Maryland License Plates Now Inadvertently Advertising Filipino Online Casino
As a Maryland resident who happens to have this special "commemorative" license plate, I do find this newsworthy and of interest.<p>I got my car in 2012 -- this was the "standard" plate for 2012-2016, that you got whether you wanted it or not (unless you paid for a "specialty plate", an existing program. <a href="https://mva.maryland.gov/about-mva/Pages/info/27300/27300-29T.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://mva.maryland.gov/about-mva/Pages/info/27300/27300-29...</a>)<p>State MVA puts a URL it does not own or control in any way on a license plate that will last for decades, never even considers that the URL could change hands, is pretty hilarious.<p>I've hated this license plate for 11 years now -- I don't want to advertise flags and wars on my license plate.  I wonder if via this snafu I can get them to replace it with a regular one; there seemed to be no normal way to ask for a standard one to replace this 2012 commemorative one up to now.<p>> “The MVA does not endorse the views or content on the current website using that URL, and is working with the agency’s IT department to identify options to resolve the current issue.”<p>The "option," we all know, would be paying now-hostage-level price for buying the domain. I don't know whether I'd rather my tax dollars went to that or replacing the plate of any 2012 plate holder who asks.  What I'd really rather is they stop spending any resources on annoying mandated special commemorative license plates.  Bring back two-color solid license plates.
