Indiana officer sues BMV to get OINK personalized plate back

I wonder if the BMV also takes context into consideration? For instance, if it was a pig farmer who had the plate, would the outcome have been the same?

If various motor vehicle departments are going to start banning words that are in common usage just because a small part of the population may read some offense into it (and before someone tries to make a point, this does not include words with racist origins), they should stop producing or allowing customized plates. Of course, they would never do this as they would be eliminating a steady revenue source.
