When you move to California from another state, the law only provides you a few weeks to register your car in California. But between the dread of dealing with bureaucrats and the state's high registration fees, some drivers are perfectly content with just keeping those out-of-state tags on their vehicles. But authorities in California are asking residents -- and have made it very easy -- to rat on their neighbors for no updating their registrations.

Reporting somebody breaking the law doesn't make you a rat. These terms were made up by the people doing the illegal activity so you wouldn't report them.
ReplyDelete903-Call it being a tattletale. Didn't your mother ever tell you it's bad to be one, or were you one of those weirdo teacher pets in school?
ReplyDeleteYea these small things may be against the law but it's about enforcing fines and taking their money not about keeping the peace. We must look out for one another against this oppressive government.
ReplyDeleteThis law is in every state, even here, yet I know of several people whom have moved here and are letting their last state's plates run out before buying Maryland plates. This should fall on the local law enforcement to enforce the law, but that cuts into too much fastfood eating time.
ReplyDeleteDon't open that floodgate in Wic County.There are hundreds of out of state residents living here.When their tags expire they apparently renew them at an address in their state of origin.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the Mao program of government encouraged "neighborhood" spies. Practiced by most totalitarian regimes. Kids tell on parents, friends tell on friends, co-workers tell on co-workers, and on and on. And the "neighbors" are absolutley ecstatic over being "good citizens" and helping the "authorities" do even MORE good.
