Registration Stops

[SB 405]

Okay guys got another question. I know vehicle registration has an actual day it expires but will you make a stop as long as the plate is close to the same month of expiration? Example:It's November 5th 2005 and my tags say OCT.....2005 but I have already paid the fees and I'm just waiting for the tags to arrive in the mail. I know you guys can call in to check if the fees are on file which I assume saves my hide from being stopped. I'm asking because this year I cut paying my registration a little close due to my wife firing off a check off to the hurricane relief effort thinking I'd already paid for my new tags. Yup...it's all about communication isn't it:lol:

We generally wait until it is one month past the expiration before making a stop solely based on the tags. If we discover the registration is past the expiration date during a stop for another violation, such as speed, we'll normally add the violation but make it dismissable so you only have to get it corrected and signed off. I've never worked in an area with an MDC so I've always had to call stuff in but only do so if it meets the one month past rule.

What if you work C shift and it is 0210 hours? Would you wait? :lol: :lol: :lol:

(did I say that out loud?)

As they said, its all in timing.

I bought a car and the previous lien holder and my credit union never were able to match up my address I guess.
So, I got pulled over 7 times within a year. Each time I explained what was happening and each time the officer called it in and found out that the fees were paid, but I never received the stickers, untill the next year. I know this is not an answer to your ?, but I think the answer is shown above.


Now, the story about me driving a customers car home and getting it impounded since HE forgot to pay reg for oh, give or take 2 years. +/- 2 years :D

Ouch. Registration is one of the Department's target violations. That along with commercial, seatbelts, and speed. I dig working speed (high speed only; not city surface street stuff) but you can write those all you like and the sergeants could care less; in spite of the new commish's goals. Write a ton of seatbelts, big rigs, and registration cites and you'll walk on water. Anyway, you have to understand that executive management reads the numbers, shows them to management, who in turn shows them to supervision, who in turn stresses what management wants and then gets on the officers to produce the numbers executive management wants (that's why most uniformed members retire as officers). Politics are really tough. Perhaps this explains why you were stopped so many times.
