Do you use thr car as a daily driver or occational driving? This might help:

Well, now you know.
You should have been a position to say, "Even show cars have to buy gas, officer" or "I just finished [insert technical repair here] and for safety reasons it's important I test the car's handling before the next event."
It still might not have saved you, but it's better than just volunteering for a ticket by breaking the clear meaning of the statute.

I generally bike commute or walk to work, so i truly only drive my car for "enthusaist events". For instance:
I get SUPER enthused every time i drive this car over to the mall or the bottle shop, heck, anywhere really! I am one enthusiastic driver! I parade that **** around town any day of the week. However it is not my daily driver.
I'm fairly certain my arguments are clear, logical, and will be heard out by any respectable officer of the law.
But for reals - I have one more year until I can get vintage plates for the car and I've debated it long and hard. Ultimately I'll probably just get a set of plates and hang them for shows and such.
Agreed!!!

I've been pulled over for expired tags a few times. Once I got pulled over the first time I took the car out after a long winter. Literally two miles down the road, two cop cars pass by on the other side of the divided highway. I watch in my rear view as they pull into a gas station, whip around the parking lot, and pull back out and start chasing me. Lights come on, I pull over. I wasn't speeding. They tell me it was for expired tags. I started interrogating the cop, asking him how he saw the sticker on my plate from his rear view mirror, and why they both felt it necessary to turn around at a gas station and come after me for it. He lied and said they never turned around, and that they "just happened to be going in the same direction." Jerk had the nerve to ask if my car was "a twin turbo" as he was writing my ticket. I just bit the bullet and paid that one.
Years ago I had a similar situation in some stinkhole town in South Carolina I was passing through. They wrote me a $200+ ticket for my tag being 2 weeks expired. I guess they figured I wouldn't drive out there to try and fight it in court. Correct, but no way was I going to pay it either They sent me threatening letters and what-not to no avail. Not sure what the statute of limitations is on that - I figure I still have a warrant in the Secession State. Not that I care - aside from Hilton Head, I have no reason to go there.

He probably had a "License Plate Reader" mounted in his car. Welcome to the new Amerika!

read the local laws regarding specialty plates. I have "collector" plates on my Rx and in the Wis DOT rules it states
"Collector registration does not expire for as long as you own the vehicle. However, Collector registration is not valid during the month of January."

We have antique tags here in TN. The taxes are significantly less and they only need to be renewed every 5 years. The catch is that the vehicle must be 25 years or older (all first gens now) and it's only valid on weekends and for special events. I decided to keep regular tags since I like to occasionally take a romp on the Dragon on the weekdays when traffic isn't bad. And in the rare case that we get snow here, I'm taking it out to play.
