An Oklahoma woman says she was stopped twice in less than two weeks after her personalized license plate was flagged as stolen in Texas.

Trisha Grant of Yukon said she ordered her plate, which reads “4GIVEN,” through Service Oklahoma earlier this year. She received it in June and said the message was inspired by her Christian faith. But since then, she has faced repeated encounters with law enforcement after automated cameras flagged the plate.
“It just says forgiven,” Grant said. “I love Jesus, I like to, you know, feel like I’m forgiven.”
The first incident occurred June 11 at her Oklahoma City church, when officers told her the plate had been reported stolen from a truck in Dallas. Grant said she was advised to visit a tag agency, where staff told her the plate was valid.
Two days later, Yukon police pulled her over after another camera alert. Dashcam footage shows Grant explaining that she carried documentation from the tag agency. She said she was particularly frustrated because she was on her way to her preschool job.
“I don’t want parents thinking I’m committing a crime,” she said.
Dallas police confirmed the plate is still marked stolen in the National Crime Information Center database due to an active auto theft case. Officials said the flag cannot be removed until the investigation is resolved. Instead, they recommended Grant obtain a new plate.
Service Oklahoma said it was not aware the plate combination had previously been reported stolen, noting the system does not check license plate numbers against national theft databases.
Grant said she plans to order a replacement but described the ordeal as stressful and embarrassing.
