Guess you could call this a follow-up to yesterday's post, these were the selections from today's stop (during part 1 of 5 attempts to get home on time):
Me - "I understand you don't have the registration to this car, I stopped you because these plates don't belong on it in the first place."
Citizen - "But I just bought it last month, I promise I'm going to DMV this week!"
Me - "And when were you going to get insurance on it?" (This is called playing a hunch, and frequently...)
Citizen - "I had it on the other car, I just need to switch it over. Can't you just cut me a break?"
Which then led to a long tirade as the car was being towed away...
Does anyone else have these conversations in law enforcement, or is it just me?

Yes.
One night, a guy we stopped had no current tags, no current insurance, and Dl was being suspended in 3 days time. He claimed he had gone to the DMV that morning to get new tags but just hadn't put them on yet.
The kicker? The day was a holiday. The DMV was closed. He didn't like me too much when I called his BS story and nailed him for everything. I think he ended up with close to $500 in fines.
Bet he won't be using the "I just went this morning and haven't put them on yet" excuse again anytime soon! haha!!
