    Apparently it is not the standard design for an Indiana plate, so it must be a custom. Plus, the chances of randomly getting BOOG88 have got to be pretty small.

      The chances are exactly the same as getting any other random number (assuming the ‘4 letters, two numbers’ pattern is allowed in the random pool at all).

        The probability of getting BOOG88 is the same as any other random series, but the chances of getting a random series that also has two extremist dogwhistles is very small

      But not impossible.

      I’m just imagining the guy that randomly got that license plate with no idea of any possible meaning.

      He just can’t understand why his car is always the victim of such vandalism. Every time he gets it fixed, he finds it keyed again, or the tires flat, lights smashed…

        Sure, I’m not saying this is smoking gun proof beyond a shadow of a doubt, but at the same time, it would be one hell of a coincidence.

          Yeah, I’m not saying it was random chance either. I’m just amused by imagining the possibility of some poor sad sack who got it and can’t figure out why everyone hates him.
