That is ridiculous. The plate number and letter sequences are just
that... sequences. Vanity plates may more may be a different issue.
There was a case of a local guy whose vanity plate was recalled because
someone found it offensive. The guy was the brother of a guy who was
in my class in high school. His plate was ZOG, a nickname that his
friends called him. He was a Jew and his surname was Herzog. Apparently
he liked his nickname enough to use it for a middle name, but the powers
that be thought it was something about a Zionist organization.
