Minnesota DPS apologizes for granting ‘FMUSLMS’ personalized license plates to driver who claimed it was the name of his band

Minnesota Department of Public Safety has apologized for issuing a set of personalized license plates that read ‘FMUSLMS’.

The DPS said the ‘offensive’ plates should never have been granted to a man, who reportedly claimed on his application form that it was the name of his band.

A photograph of the plates started circulating on social media earlier this week and, after uproar from advocacy groups, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton stepped in to get them revoked.
