A Question for Our LEO members...

We bought a new Pickup and a new RV within two weeks of each other. I should have got more than a kiss!

We just bought a new 3/4 ton diesel and a new travel trailer. Not looking forward to the government gift I’m about to receive.

Out this morning doing some Christmas shopping, and it seemed like everytime I was stopped at a red light, the vehicle in front of me had an expired paper tag. Don't they get stopped for those? The reason I ask...my lovely bride was driving her car in Norman recently when stopped because the decal on her tag was expired. That cost me $110 fine and then a penalty of another $100 the next day when I sheepishly had to go to the tag agent and get the decal I forgot to get a couple of months earlier.

I believe you could have taken the receipt and got it dismissed. That said, the cop that gave you a ticket was a dick. Never got a ticket for that, they'll just remind me or her to get it done. Which reminds me, two of mine are due... I work with cops all day long, they dont care about the sticker. My neighbor has had a paper tag on their Yukon XL for over a year, don't ask me how, they keep getting new ones. $275k house, and cant afford their car tag? And in the area I work, people actually put the plastic or tinted covers over their paper tags. Not unusual to see one thats 3-6 months out of date if you can even read it.

Sometimes I wish I had No insurance and No tag. And a big all steel vehicle.
I could crash those dimwits on the road with my huge all metal vehicle and the law would not be able to do a thing.
Well I would need to be on government assistance and have nothing in my name and no bank account.

Illegal alien would help also.
I have heard of Police officers letting traffic offenders go that can't speak English or just let them go if they look Mexican.

What is up with that???

I know because a friend of mine looks Mexican and told me.
Too much paperwork?
Would not get any money from them anyway because they disappear as easy as they appear.

I got stopped by a woman OHP for having a plastic tinted cover on my metal tag. She was very nice and gave me a warning. This was 10 years ago.

Still have the plastic tinted cover on it?

It depends on how far out of date they are. That's my favorite thing to stop people for.

Its amazing to me how many people buy a vehicle and don't realize they have to pay tag, tax, and title fees later.

In OK, I agree.
In some states, the dealer handles all of that.
If the buyer finances the car, then it's either add more to the down payment to cover it or CHA-CHING! says the lender, just roll it into the financing.

I see it all the time and have been wondering about this crap...........

I hear there are a lot of "fake" paper tags now being used............. Low life scumbags will try anything to beat the system.
