Unregistered car and Display of Plate
I was pulled over because the car I was driving was not re-registered (expired after 7/31/08 and the stop was on 10/03/08). The officer said that if the car's registration wasn't renewed, that it would be impounded. After waiting in the car for over 37 minutes with no response from either officer, the tow truck came, the car was towed, and my girlfriend and I were dropped off in the middle of nowhere.
The two tickets I received were under §1301A and §1322A. I have two questions about these.
First, on the back of the ticket it says that if in 5 calendar days, that the registration and ownership is shown, that you won't be in violation, but while looking through the vehicle code, it states that the registration must be ''at the time of the arrest'' (I was not arrested, just stopped). If I bring the registration (the car was re-registered the next day) will the fine be removed?
Secondly, under §1322A, the officer never mentioned this. He just handed me the ticket. This refers to ''display of plate.'' The plate was displayed perfectly well, but had an expired registration sticker.
I am pleading not guilty if I can get out of these.
Thanks for your help.
