A Canadian Star Trek fan is filing a legal challenge after his personalized license plate was revoked by Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) on the grounds that it may be interpreted as offensive.
According to CBC, Nick Troller claims to have used his license plate, which reads ASIMIL8, for the better part of two years with no complaints. However, MPI, which issues personalized license plates in the province, revoked the plate in 2017, deeming the plate inappropriate and potentially insulting to Indigenous people.
