I had a great birthday today. Everything that happend during my actual birthday was great. So I get home from having dinner with my girlfriend, waiting for some firends to show up when I happen to look outside.
There's a cop parked in front of my building. Right in front of my car. (I have a garage, but the space between cars in it is so narrow, I'd rather just park on the street. It's a pretty nice neighborhood.) I think, hell, it's my birthday. I look at the clock.
Nah, I think, There's no way a random cop could know it's my birthday.she'd have to have it out for me. That's just paranoid. Then she gets out of her car with a day-glo orange piece of paper. I book it out the front door. It was too late.
She drives off after I'm running after her, flailing my arms in the air. WTF, i think, That's just wrong. Don't they give you a week to renew your tags? (In Ohio, you have to renew your tags on your birthday every year, but the sticker only displays the month) Also, there was no accompanying piece of paper to tell me how much the ticket is for, or payment instructions. Don't they have to give you that, too? So I call the local police station as soon as I get inside and explain the situation. He tells me, 'Damn, man, I would have at least given you a week to do it.
Maybe a written warning. You said it was a female cop? What's the address and the badge number on the ticket? 'Cause that's just.rude.
At least this guy is cool. 'Do you think I have any chance to contest this?'
'Honestly, no, because they're going to ask you if your tags were expired, and, technically, they were, even if only for ten minutes.' 'Well, what about the fact that I ran outside after her, waving my arms in the air? I mean, I could have really been in trouble.' Let me give you the name of her supervisor. You can report her for that.' So he gives me the information, including the times when her supervisor will be in tomorrow, and the price of the ticket.
I don't deny the fact that I deserve the ticket. It was my responsibility to take care of that. Fifteen minutes? The part that gets under my skin is the fact that she blatantly drove off when someone is running outside trying to flag her down. And they wonder why people hate cops, and the Cincinnati Police have such a bad reputation.
I left my car on the side of the road in staten island with no plates for roughly 6 mos. A few years back.
The final charge was almost $10k. I got it reduced to about $2k. Still the dumbest thing i've ever done.
So, the moral is.don't feel bad. And happy birthday!! Oh, i also got a ticket in NYC a few weeks ago (for parking in an illegal spot) WHILE I WAS GETTING IN MY CAR TO MOVE IT. I just stared at her through the windshield and she just looked back and shrugged, wrote the ticket and walked away. Quote: Yes, in Ohio, your tags expire on your birthday.
And as far as the law goes here, if your car is on the street, you can get a ticket for it. (Because it's on City Property) I see. I suppose, but still, thats harsh. I just checked the wording for WI, and the word 'operate' is used repeatedly, leading me to beleive you'd have to actually be driving the car to get a ticket for expired registration. Also, I find the whole 'registration expires on my birthday' thing to be very odd. For some reason it makes no sense to me.
Quote: Also, I find the whole 'registration expires on my birthday' thing to be very odd. For some reason it makes no sense to me. You're not the only one. It doesn't make any sense. I can think of no good reason why this should be the case.
Getting hit with your registration charges around your birthday is a real bummer, and what if you have more than one car? Double whammy. When your car is jointly owned, whose birthday do they use? Here in NV, your tags' expiration date is the anniversary of when you first got them. It expires on the actual day of your birthday?
Man, that's hella lame! I could see them using the last day of your birth month, but the exact day at midnight?
Is the actual date marked on the tag, or how the hell would a cop know when your birthday was without actually seeing your driver's license? Here in the great state of Texas, the vehicle registration (about $50 for me) expires on the last day of the month you registered the car, but I can't recall the last time anybody actually got a ticket for having tags that expired a few days ago. There's also the state inspection ($12.50), which is good for 12 months, and expires the last day of the month inspected. It's quite possible to get 13 months out of it, as the inspection station punches the current month. Download Free The Giant Piano Kontakt Keygen - Free Download Software 2016 there.
The vehicle registration still gives you the previous month if you're late. The 'I wasn't using it because I realized that the registration was about to expire' excuse is interesting. Maybe a judge will go for it. I once watched myself get a parking ticket. I was walking back to the meter to put more change into it, and there was a cop standing in front of my car. *DOH* Fortunately, I explained it to her, and she was nice enough to cancel the ticket.
I also got pulled over for speeding (first time, been driving for 10 years) and discovered that my license had expired 2 days ago. I was on my way to my birthday party. Had _no_ idea that it was going to expire, because, how often do you look at your license?

That's actually an interesting slant.
I mean, if you were a completely law-abiding but procrastinating citizen, you would have been lax in getting your tags renewed but wouldn't drive the car until you had new tags. It seems asinine to ticket a parked car for that. I could understand if the car appeared to be abandoned, but just expired plates? It's called a deadline because you're supposed to do whatever you HAVE TO DO before the deadline.
You'll increasingly find that procrastinating the the real world has real consequences. 10 minutes is the same as 10 months to the law and you should've realised that. You obviously knew that you had to renew your tags by a specific date why did you assume that you could get away with possibly breaking the law? I VOTE DEATH PENALTY!!
I believe that if you have tags on a car you're assume to be 'operating' it. If you aren't operating the darn car, take the tags off:P [This message was edited by clintatpurdue on October 17, 2003 at 14:21.]. I think my tags were 8-9 months overdue when I got pulled over. Kept forgetting about it.
A lot of people, including the officer, don't understand how you can forget it for 8-9 months, but I did. Car was impounded for 4 hours while I ran around renewing registration and showing proof of correction to CHP. I think I've learned my lesson. In California, your registration expires on a certain date, noted on your registration paper, but the tags just show month/year. Crystal Report 9.2 Full Download. You have to file non-operation if the vehicle is not going to be used.
I drove around in florida for a LONG time on my ohio plates and tags before getting florida plates and tags. Like, 8 months or something. Of course, they were only expired for that last month ^^; And then payed the same amount in registration as I would have paid either way, since I was still a couple months before my birthday (late november)(car had previously not been titled to me), and they made me pay a full year's registration for those couple months. But at least they were nice and let me buy registration until November 2004 instead of having to go back and renew this year again. Soooo, if they let you, just renew half way through the year or some such when you happen to be near a DMV place or something and it's convenient.
I mean, you end up paying the same amount either way, so it's no real difference.

Same here in Massachusetts, however, your license expires on your birthday. This means that when I got my license in March of 1990 I had to renew it 4 months later.
It sucked, but after that it's once a year. Once a year.!?! Friggen nutjob states. It's every four years here, and you can do a two year registration(plates) for your cars. For those of you Birthday people, do you get screwed if you buy a car two months before your birthday?
