Vanity plates are on the increase in Nevada, and so are the complaints:

* MEONTOP – Complaint said it referred to a sexual position with the male dominant. The committee felt that was too vague a reference and voted not to recall the plate.

* YRUSTPD – Complaint said the plate read “Why Are You Stupid” (applicant said it read “Why Are You Stopped) and that it was offensive. The committee felt it might be impolite but not offensive and voted not to recall the plate.

* LTN PWR – Complaint said it read “Latin Power” and was offensive. The committee agreed as policy reads the department is prohibited from issuing a plate that “…expresses contempt, ridicule or superiority of race, ethnic heritage….” The plate is being recalled.

* ENORMS1 – Complaint said it referred to male genitalia. The committee agreed and is recalling the plate based upon policy prohibiting the department from issuing a plate that is “is sexual, vulgar, derogatory, profane, obscene….” What sunk the motorist was his license plate frame: “Have you ridden an (ENORMS1) lately”

* DAGORED – Complaint said it slurred people of a national origin, specifically Italians, the committee agreed and recalled the plate.

* SEXRXRR – Complaint said it read “Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll.” The committee agreed and recalled it.

* DYPSYET – Complaint said it was a vulgar reference, the committee agreed and recalled it.
