Court rules rebel flag may adorn N.C. plates
Wake County Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens ruled the North Carolina DMV could not dismiss the Sons of Confederate Veterans request for a specialty license plate bearing the Confederate battle flag. The ruling centers on the definition of civic groups under state law and the group’s charitable activities and monuments work. The case leaves intact existing plates but redefines what qualifies as a civic organization for such tags.
