SD Unified suspends bus driver: Driver's 'not see' vanity license plate causing outrage

SAN DIEGO - A San Diego Unified School District bus driver, whose vanity license plate on his car is causing outrage, has been suspended, and 10News learned the state Department of Motor Vehicles is asking that he surrender the plates.

The driver's plate has two words, "not see" -- a slight spelling variation for "Nazi," a word that represents racism and persecution. Above the plate is a swastika.

On Wednesday, 10News learned the DMV canceled the license plates and asked the owner, identified as Kearny Mesa resident Shawn Calpito, to return them.

A viewer sent in a photo of the plate, and 10News ran it through the DMV to track down Calpito. 10News knocked on Calpito's door on Tuesday, but he did not answer. The person who sent 10News the photo of the license plate confirmed Calpito is the man behind it.
