smart kId Izzy asked:


Suppose an automobile owner decides to cover a part of the state license plate. Will he be arrested for doing so? Or is it o.k. since it is HIS automobile, making it HIS license plate, therefore allowing him to do what he wants to it, since it under HIS ownership?
what if the reason for covering it is for religious purposes? would that be a right protected by the first amendment?
