ACLU-Indiana sues over no fees being attached to 'God' plate


INDIANAPOLIS - A legal complaint filed today challenges the constitutionality of the year-old law that created the "In God We Trust" specialty license plate, saying its supporters receive preferential treatment not available to supporters of other specialty plates.

The lawsuit filed in Marion Superior Court in Indianapolis claims motorists who request the "In God We Trust" plates receive preferential treatment because they do not have to pay a $15 administrative fee that the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles collects. The administrative fees are added to other fees whose proceeds promote the causes of the other specialty plates.

The plaintiff bringing the case, Mark Studler, said he pays an additional $40 for one of the popular environmental plates depicting an eagle above the word "Environment." Of the total fee, $25 goes to a state trust to purchase land set aside for conservation or recreational purposes and the remaining $15 is for the administration fee.

The 2006 law establishing the "In God We Trust" plate waives the administrative fee.

"Therefore, those who obtain an 'In God We Trust' license plate are afforded the opportunity to make an affirmative statement through display of the plate without any additional cost while Mr. Studler must pay additional fees for his environmental license plate," the complaint said.

Studler is being represented by the Indiana branch of the American Civil Liberties Union.

I bet the ACLU wouldn't have had a problem with an 'Allah' plate.  This group has a severe anti-Christian obsession.

I was wondering how long it would take them before they jumped on this item.

I think more states should do the same.

I wonder if we could get a class action suit against the ACLU for hindering our civil rights...... hmmmmmmm

Sounds like a good idea to me.
