State Sen. Scott Wiener is speaking out after the California DMV is making a lot of people cringe.

In recent months, San Franciscans have been getting driver's licenses listing the city as "San Fran."

Wiener, who called it "a grave injustice," posted a photo on his social media page, and it showed the misprint.

Wiener added that he's now sending the DMV a "cease and desist" letter. He demands the agency immediately stop doing it.

He also called it slander, saying "no self-respecting San Franciscan would ever use that phrase."

NBC Bay Area reached out to the California DMV. The agency said it's aware of the issue and that it has already made a fix.
