    From the article:

    Several were rejected for conveying “a message associated to the characteristics of any person or group of people.”

    Examples of these include:

    AXE/ELON
    BISXUAL/
    TRMP/BAD
    LIBS/YUK
    SOCALHO/
    TESLUUT/
    

    (Note: A / represents a half space, according to the DMV.)

    Some were rejected for conveying that the vehicle belongs to law enforcement, the DMV said. Examples include:

    LAPD*K9/
    /CA/ICE/
    *CSI*CA/
    BB*SWAT/
    ARTCL86/
    911NRSK/
    /*LADP*/
    

    (Note: An * represents a full space, according to the DMV.)

    The four iterations of “hawk tuah” — and several other custom plates — were rejected for conveying a “sexual or scatological meaning.”

    Examples include:

    HAWK2UH/
    HOCTUAH/
    HAWK2UH/
    HAWKTAA/
    

    Many were rejected for being too similar to an existing license plate. Examples include:

    QUE33NB/
    ST4RBO7/
    WRM/HOL3
    XL3GACY/
    XPR1NCE/
    XSM1LEY/
    XW1TCHX/
    Y11KES$/
    Y3S*CHF/
    Y3S/PAPI
    YA/MON3Y
