The only way it would be illegal is if a municipality passed a specific obscenity law or code against this, said Officer Dan Olivas with CHP’s Inland Division.

a photo he recently took of a large pickup truck parked in front of a house in his Beaumont neighborhood. On the truck’s rear window, in large white letters covering the entire back window, is a four-letter profanity starting with the letter “F” before the words “your Tesla.” He asked if it’s legal for people to drive vehicles with profanities or vulgar language on them, as seen on this truck.

The only way it would be illegal is if some municipality passed a specific obscenity law or code against this, said Officer Dan Olivas of the California Highway Patrol’s Inland Division. Even then, such a local law would probably be subject to a First Amendment challenge and likely struck down. As one of the United States Supreme Court justices said in a landmark 1971 case addressing a similar issue, Cohen Vs. California, “one man’s vulgarity is another’s lyric.

We asked Olivas if the large letters blocking the truck’s rear window are illegal, regardless of the content, but Olivas said that as long as the vehicle has two functioning side mirrors, it doesn’t matter if the large letters block the driver’s rear view.Gene DeFouw of Beaumont asked when the 10 Freeway between Yucaipa and Beaumont would be expanded with additional lanes.

“It’s already bad and I don’t even want to guess what kind of congestion will result when the warehouses are up and running. Frankly, I do not believe adding another lane in both directions will help much,” DeFouw said.
