racist ahole Edward Odquina mistakenly issued racist license plate, wont return it

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

An Hawaii MAGA supporter has sued the state for repeatedly trying to revoke his FCKBLM license plate.

Edward Odquina, 48, cruises around the streets of Honolulu in a red Pontiac Firebird, sporting a license plate short for 'F**k Black Lives Matter.'

The City of Honolulu approved the plates in January 2021. Seven months later, the city has been fighting to revoke his vanity plates, arguing that they were 'mistakenly' issued and the shortened expletive violates the rule against 'publicly objectionable' plates.

'Your personalized special license plate has been determined to be publicly objectionable due to an implied expletive in the first three combination of letters on the license plate,' a letter sent to Odquina, viewed by the San Francisco Gate, said.

Honolulu's licensing administration office has threatened vehicle citations, penalties and vehicle seizure.

The plates were supposed to be returned by August 2021 or the vehicle would be considered illegal.

1. Are there no tow trucks in Honolulu?

8. Why did Honolulu give it to begin with?

Clearly they have big issues that need oversight on plates given. Someone at the DMV needs fired and maybe multiple workers. This was negligent at best.

3. A citizen could quietly remove it and drop it off in the mail slot of a city office. . nt

4. Have the Highway Patrol pull him over armed with AR15s

(since he's a MAGAt), and unscrew the tag and then give him a ticket for not returning it in Aug 2021.
Oh, and search him & the car for anything illegal, like not having a tag.

5. Very Simple

Revoke the plate. Pull him over and seize the plate, car, and whatever else plate-switchers use.

Follow the law, there must be precedent for this.

7. Yep. It shouldn't be too hard to do this. The very sad irony

is the fact that so many black people get killed after being pulled over for minor traffic violations.

9. Why? The city screwed up!!

6. "has threatened"

How long does it take figure out that threats do not work?
