Offensive Personalized License Plate Approved by DMV

Recently, a San Diego radio station received a picture from an unidentified viewer that created a huge controversy. The license plate read "NOT SEE". At first, this license plate seems fine; maybe it's an inside joke or maybe he drives so fast that you can't see him or something. However, another zoomed out picture of the car showed that there was a swastika above the license plate, and the intention of the words "NOT SEE" are supposed to mean "Nazi". The anonymous viewer turned out to be the owner of the license plate, Shawn Calpito, who is a school bus driver. A local news station tried to crack down on this case, but when they arrived to his house, Calpito would not answer the door and the plates were removed from his car. Without the symbol above, the meaning of the plate is unclear, but when the DMV heard about the swastika above, they put two and two together and sent Calpito a notice cancelling the plates and requesting that they be surrendered. Although it still may be offensive to some people, Calpito has reportedly removed the swastika but kept the plates.

Police Arrest Man After Escaping for 33 Years

Oklahoma police recently arrested Anthony Rackley, a 62 year old man that escaped from a Maryland jail over 30 years ago. Rackley was convicted of robbery and, after escaping, earned his living by raising funds for the Lions Club community service organization. Just like everyone else (sarcasm) he personally contacted the local Oklahoma City police and turned himself in. Rackley stated that his co-worker knew he was a fugitive and was demanding large amounts of money from him that he would raise for the Lions Club, and was willing to turn him in if he didn't pay. Rackley, who was going by the name Jack Watson, said he was "willing to go back to jail to stop it". As Rackley is currently being sent back to prison, police are further investigating his "partner".

Supposed "Ghost" Appears to Damage Police Vehile

Recently, in Connecticut, a police officer was about to go home when he noticed that his driver's side mirror was completely ripped off and laying on the ground right next to the car. At first, he thought that it was some sort of vandal attempt, but surveillance footage showed otherwise. The parking lot camera caught on tape what at first appears to be a ghost like figure, which made sense because many police officers said they think the parking lot is haunted. However, further scientific research suggested that the apparition was nothing but a dust devil, a tornado-like whirlwind, which was actually accurate because of the weather conditions at the time. Although they "solved the case", the dust devil did manage to rip off the mirror, blow it around the parking lot, and blow it right back next to the car without damaging any other vehicles.
