Personalized ‘Grabher’ licence plate won’t incite sexual violence, former researcher tells Nova Scotia Supreme Court

Lorne Grabher purchased the personalized licence plate in 1989 as a gift for his late father. He claims the plate expresses pride in his family’s Austrian-German heritage.A former sex researcher has told a Nova Scotia court she doesn’t believe that a licence plate bearing the surname of a retiree – “Grabher” – would promote sexual violence against women, as the provincial government has alleged.

Lorne Grabher has been trying to reinstate his personalized plate since it was revoked in 2016 by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles following an anonymous complaint from a woman who said the plate showed hatred toward women. Though Jamieson accepted Soh as an expert witness, the lawyer representing the Registrar of Motor Vehicles, Jack Townsend, told the court Soh did not have academic degrees or professional affiliations related to the media, language, communications or women’s studies.

She went on to say that removing Grabher’s licence plate from public view wouldn’t accomplish anything in terms of reducing sexual violence.Though she agreed in court that a “cultural slogan” on a government-sanctioned plate might carry some degree of authority, she insisted that wouldn’t be enough to incite a psychologically healthy person to become sexually violent.

Charming 😒

By default, vanity license plates are only used by complete knobs, so it's no small feat for someone to make national news by being the biggest asshole in the pack.

It would be pretty hilarious if his wife got herself a “GRABHIM” license plate for her own car...

But why.

May have specific alternative meaning to the owner, but it clearly can be interpreted as encouragement to assault...

Still stupid.

Them thought so... I wonder what's in their heads.

he tries that he may lose a small part of himself.

Some people are addicted to attention, but when being just normal doesn't get them the attention they seek, they need to resort to 'creative' measures!

ok - I deleted my original tweet because it's the guy's last name ... come context is required

Do people actually believe a license plate holds so much power over people?

Idiot. I bet he's a fucking Trump lover too. Canada is going to the dogs with American sickness spilling over to the Conservatives!
