they have to FIND it before they can tow it.
If you're driving it around,and don't give police any reason to stop
you and check your plates,you'd get away with it for quite a while.


Not hard to do. New Haven CT just got a new scanner so they just drive up
the street and the computer photographs, compares tags to a database and
kicks out the expired regs. They've taken in a million bucks in previously
unpaid taxes so far. The equipment cost about $100,000 so not a bad
return. Watch an episode of Parking Wars on A&E to see how it works. Philly
uses it for parking ticket warrants.
