A few years ago, I never changed the tags on my license plate. I literally went like 10 months without doing it. One night, coming home at like 2am, I was finally pulled over for it. The cop gave me a ticket and that was the end of it. I sat there in the parking lot looking for my insurance card (I couldn't find it at the time) while he pulled away. I found it, and ended up leaving, heading for home. About ten miles away, a sheriff starts trailing me. He follows me a for a few miles until I'm nearly home, and then he pulls me over.
I didn't know this at the time, but apparently the cop that originally pulled me over noticed I left, so he put the word out to find me. So a sheriff finally did and they pulled me over. Apparently I wasn't suppose to keep driving the car, even though the cop never mentioned that. I figured I could at least drive it home and get the tags the next day. So he made me call my dad in the middle of the night to come pick me up a few miles down the road. But for a little while, I was unknowingly a wanted man.
When I told my sister-in-law's dad this story, who's a retired cop, he said it must have been a slow night for them.
That is pretty funny. I had a similiar situation where i didnt change the tags. It was when I was young and thought you had through the end of the month tha you were born in. He said he better see the car there the next morning as I thought I had to go the bureau to get new ones. I had totally forgot I did the whole mail thing with them.....you gotta send the money in so early taht I forgot about it and I usually only checked my mail once a week. I walk home..maybe a mile. I check my mail and see it in there so I walk back and put it on and drive home. Hour later I get a knock on my door and it was the cop who was not too happy. I explained it to him and at first he eidnt believe me until we walked out to the car and checked it!
