Not disagreeing with you but the charge in those cases is usually Driving with suspended license, driving without insurance, etc. When I lived in NY, they'd usually even explicitly say on the arrest report how many suspensions on how many dates, etc.

SR-22 requirements for people convicted of previous DUI's are pretty much standard nationwide. Not sure how often it's required for people with convictions for simple DL suspensions, etc., but my point is when they charge you with anything related to Financial Responsibility, it's usually related in one way or another to SR-22 coverage.

He won it? Where did this rumor come from? Please don't say Blitz instagram

charges were dropped

Shocking how dumb people can be.

Yeah, not a good idea to just transfer plates between cars without notifying the DMV. Whoda thunk it?

How do you tell the hookers from the civilians in Vegas?

Wow, been a long time since I've heard a Yugo reference. My student-athletes would have no idea what I'm talking about if I tried that.

By the way, for all of those citing race: if he were Asian, he could just get sent here:

In comparison, probably more than half the people you know have a negative net worth and drive $35k rides....

he just wanted a free meal

Someone else may have answered later in the thread with Nevada or even Las Vegas-specific knowledge, but I know that in my State (Texas), if you are the subject of a traffic stop and are subsequently arrested and there is nobody else to drive an otherwise legally drivable vehicle, it will be impounded.

No tags and no insurance may render a vehicle incapable of being driven away by a passenger even if the passenger has a valid license.

And, while not authoritative, I know there have been episodes of Cops in Las Vegas where they towed vehicles with no current tags and no insurance because they could not legally be operated on the public streets.

The X factor here is whether the car could have been released to the valet since it appears this was on private property. And of course if there was other charges (ie. drugs or other non-traffic), then impounding is bound to occur even when the incident occurs on private property...

Different States have different ways of screwing people over on registration fees or other taxes. For as screwed up as Texas is in some regards, we actually get off relatively easy on both of those categories...something like a 6.25% tax on the net transaction value of the original sale and then annual fees of between roughly $45 and $100 depending on age and type of vehicle. Also an annual inspection fee had been getting charged, although the structure is scheduled to change next year when they go to a single sticker system.

Inspection fees vary based on whether you are in an emissions county or a safety-only one...but regardless, those tended to be less than $40 per year.
