What do you mean people hiding... we have a write to travel without having papers.. Not zee CbS continues to support tie rents ! This is just money making scheme by the kops !
and how many cops do you think saw him and looked the other way during that time, just to avoid having to deal with it? until one of these people slams into your family and flees the scene. in most states, intentionally using false plates on a car is considered a felony, isnt it? impounding these people's cars is the very least these cops should be doing.
@jose ramos registration is a scam? So all taxes are a scam then by your logic. What will pay for state services including roads and patrolmen? Bottom line is that rich people own government and they aren’t going to pay for your taxes. That’s why everyone else has to.
@jose ramos Inspection is NOT a scam, you just need to see a few wheels come off of cars on the road to know that leaving it solely up to the owner to keep a vehicle maintained and safe to be on the road is not a good idea. As for the cost, you're not just buying a sticker, someone with qualifications is actually doing an inspection of the vehicle. You expect your boss to pay you even when you're doing the "easy" job - well you have to pay the person who only has to look at your car looking for issues.
Just last night, in a church parking lot no less, I saw a "work truck" full of construction tools with a metallic Michigan Dealer Plate on it. It's highly unlikely that truck was in use for Dealer related activities.
@Kris-wv4zd vehicles must be registered in the state in which they reside. If he aint in Michigan and that work truck spends more than 6 months a year outside of Michigan in another state, it needs to lose the Michigan tag and be registered in the new state.
No, in the first case shown the driver was issued four tickets. I don't know about Texas specifically, but fines for operating an unregistered vehicle and for operating an uninsured vehicle can be substantial.
@@dewmontain123 You can buy a lot of different food items that do not have to be "cooked" and it would cost a lot less than eating out. Save the difference for two weeks and get a super low cost Airfryer You can cook anything in one. Then you can buy even less expensive foods and start paying your bills. Maybe even think about getting a 2nd job part time to make some extra money. There are ways to get yourself out of whatever situation you are in if you want to. But then it is a lot easier to just say "no one cares" and "Ya'll should be GIVING me more money". Stope with the blame game and get off your butt and do something about your situation yourself. And you can afford either a CELL PHONE or COMPUTER or both + internet service.
Didn't know you could be so butthurt about my comment @fraggdu51. I'm saying that if the cops just keep handing them tickets and stuff, they won't change their ways.
Ghost cars may also be stolen vehicles. A neighbor had his truck stolen, it went to Mexico, came back to AZ with Mexico plates, the truck was in a parking lot we called the neighbor he arrived and confirmed it was his truck (personal stuff was in the back), he called the police, using the vin # and report# for stolen vehicle, he got his truck back.
I've never understood paper tags. Here in Alberta, you walk into the DMV with your proof of ownership, your drivers license and proof of insurance, and they issue you an actual metal license plate right on the spot. No waiting, no mailing, no paper tags. You just get your license plate within an hour of buying your new or used vehicle. And NOT at the car dealership. You have to go to the DMV to pick up your plate.
I live in Virginia, and they offer paper plates, but there's no reason to. You can walk into a DMV and be in and out within an hour with metal plates, a new title, and registration for any vehicle you buy.
Here in Ontario, if new plates are being issued to the car, the car dealer can go to the DMV on the buyer's behalf, purchase the new plates, put it on the car for the buyer, and then the buyer picks up the car with the plate and ownership already in it and can drive off the lot with everything they need.
In BC you can get temp tags to move a vehicle, but you buy a short term insurance for that tag. OTOH, you can transfer your plates from your old vehicle to your new vehicle. I've had the same plate for 30 years now.
We bought a new truck in 2022 and after the permanent tags came in, we got a TOLLTAG bill for the paper tag (which we still have in our possession) - which was photographed on a Nissan sedan. Had to fight with the toll company over bogus charges because they said the DMV identified the tag as ours even though the picture showed a Nissan and the fake paper tag says 2014 Nissan. The DMV had verified it was for a 2032 truck. Toll company didn't care. Nightmare. So glad they are finally fixing that problem.
Was this the infamous Texas Tags? I started receiving bills every month from TXTag for driving on tolls roads in Austin, TX. The only problem is I have never driven any vehicle in the state of TX. After 2 letters to them I finally called and talked to a nice woman who looked my plates up and said it was a plate for a trailer not a vehicle. After 5 months of getting billed she stopped the charges and fixed the issue. Don't pay these people. I thought it was a scam but NO, it's the state of Texas!
The obvious solution is for Motor Vehicles Department to stop issuing paper plates. We would walk into DMV, fill out the forms, pay the fees, and were handed an envelope with a pair of new license plates and the validation tags to stick on them. My sister-in-law went to the dealer window at DMV with the paperwork for all sales in the last 24 hours or over a weekend and walked out with registration for each vehicle. They told customers that they had 48 hours to return the loaner plates (DMV clearly marked those plates as Dealer Temporary). You had to be able to forge license plates and registration tags, not just be able to print your "picture of a license plate".
Japan does the same shit. They have official loaner plates for unregistered cars that need to temporarily use public roads. It always seemed wild to me that states in this country don't have something more official than a print out.
The obvious solution is to let people be free and stop requiring free people to do things. That's not freedom. Taxes are stealing, we pay cops to take more money from us... That sounds exactly like freedom to you?? 🤔
Another great way is just to keep a bunch of random unassigned plates on hand at the dmv, when someone registers their vehicle, they can assign a plate they already have to the registration. If someone wants a custom plate, then they get temporary dealer tags. Voila! You walk out with tags that day and no more paper tags.
Why stop issuing paper plates? The officer said for every bogus paper plate he catches, there's probably 10 more passing by. Seems like an opportunity to get criminals and unworthy cars off the road, they just need to create a special unit to focus on this effort.
I think this problem has an easy fix; have the dealer issue the actual license plate. Since I bought my first new car in the 80's in Puerto Rico, the dealer put the official license plate immediately before I drove away. Today, they still do it that way. Another interesting fact is that in Puerto Rico, the license plate stays with the car forever until it goes to the junkyard to die. When you sell your used car, the registration has the license plate number which then changes to the new owner's name.
Yeah but then they have to make sure you have insurance and registration and that would mean they would sell less cars because most of these people cannot afford that nor do they intend to ever pay it. Greedy dealerships.
I have been seeing paper tags all over the place since COViD. I thought it was strange but makes sense people are using them to skip out on registration, insurance, and use stolen cars. I am sure there is a way to end this but all I can think is to get rid of the temp tags.
Can't make that assumption. Lots of state services were down during covid. I had a valid "expired" drivers license for over a year. I also had expired registration stickers for 6+ months. Hard to resolve issues like that when there's nobody handling those services. I'd be more apt to assume lots of cars are being sold post covid where people actually need to drive again.
What would work is a genuine crackdown. Just impounding the car is not a sufficient punishment; what is needed are felony charges and lengthy prison stretches for deliberately ignoring the law. Yeah, it would be expensive to jail a lot of perps, but as soon as word got out, there would be rush to the DMV to make your car legal. Just consider the expense of people not paying their tabs and insurance; the savings from that would pay for a lot of prison time.
@@freewill1114 There should be a fraud charge and a three-year sentence (non-reducible) for this fake license plate deception and cheating the public who get authentic plates for their car. Either that or drop the requirement for vehicle registration but keep the insurance requirement. Why should your economic life be destroyed by some criminal who wipes out your car?
It’s unaffordable. Do you not realize how high rent is? They need to make SOMETHING affordable for the people! All this sht is BULLSHT! Raising everything EXCEPT PAY so people can at the very least AFFORD this sht!
The solution is pretty simple. Where I live, you either go to a DMV location, acquire the plate for the vehicle you've purchased... and then take the plate to dealership where you can pick up your vehicle and drive away. Alternately, the dealership will obtain the plate on your behalf for a fee. There's absolutely no need to have dealerships print out temporary paper plates. This is a nonsense process.
I just bought a car last year in Florida. When I went to pick it up and do the final paperwork they already had a license plate for me and put it on the car before I even drove off the lot.
Here in Hawaii, people put out of state tags on their vehicles, knowing full well police won’t bother pulling them over because of the amount of paperwork involved!
they arent just catching on. They dont try to enforce the law, since doing so 99% of the time (even stated in the video) the drivers are armed, POC, illegal, warrants, criminals, drug dealers and list goes on. Its a safety hazard to officers to patrol ghost cars because only criminals indulge in the crime of ghost cars
I mean they probably knew from the start but it's a case of what are you going to do about it exactly? You take one down and they're up and running again in a couple days. Change the look and they just Photoshop a new template and pick up where they left off. Criminals will never stop until they can't anymore, and simply put that will be an impossible situation to achieve.
'they' desperate for cash.. snack tax for example. Clearly that tax is "taxation without representation" of any sort. They just pocket money now because we are 'bad'. Hilarious angels sent from god, to make sure our bedsheets smell angelic for our upcoming stint in paradise.
This is prevalent everywhere. In like 20 minutes on just about every interstate you'll see almost more paper tags than actual license plates. It's rampant in North Carolina.
Same here in Michigan. I think it god really bad here during Covid, when the excuse was that it was hard to get appointments at the DMV. But since then it seems like you seem them everywhere and a lot of times you don't see any plate at all
@@DrHow-dw2dd This is why you guys are a headache. Travel yes, but not by motorized vehicle without the proper license or legal vehicle (tags/insurance).
The way it’s always worked for me. If I buy a used car from a person, not a dealership, I would simply go to the DMV with a title and pick up tags or temp tags. If I sold a vehicle, I would take the tags off first. License plates are supposed to be a matter between you and your state DMV, not the buyer or seller.
Today I was driving behind enough vehicles that had paper plates that I began to think that this is not really happening. But it was. In recent weeks or months my observations of an un believable number on cars without any plates whatsoever. Last summer I was made aware of a store that someone had stolen several of their highest priced drones by simply walking in and grabbing them, and running out the a waiting car which had no plates on it so the security cameras had no useful information to use to catch the thieves. Masks because of covid were of course part of the crime. After learning about this is when I started watching all the cars without identifying markings They seem to be the type of car you might guess. Blacked out windows and some other distinguishing features that are conveniently able to be seen as a particular type of defense mechanism that get called out when the car might be pulled over by police. It’s not acceptable. The police have given me tickets ages ago because of expired tabs. But I don’t think any of the cars I have looked at being ticketed along the roads seem to be missing the plates. That’s BS.
There's going to be more than usual, as a lot of cars bought between 2020 and 2021 are "stimulus cars," some never registered "because lockdowns" Most legit buyers have registered, leaving the ones who bought less-than-legal still with paper tags.
Mostly they are being ignored by the cops. I hate paying annual fees, but I do because I’ve been pulled over for expired tabs. These days driving without plates, fake paper plates, blacked out glass (in a car that stereotypically will be some sort of POS with drug warrants inside, probably armed with stolen guns, and even a person ready to try to sue for profiling the correctly profiled asswipe that should be locked up) and most importantly NO F’ING drivers license or insurance.
@@STV-H4H blacked out glass means you’re an ass? …i live in a sunny city that gets in my eyes + it’s hot if the sun gets in so yeah I like my 5% it ain’t legal but no cop ever bothers me. And it’s nothing to take it off. Damn humans always so quick to pass judgement on another
It should be illegal. Cars should NOT leave the lot without real metal plates and insurance. Even if you buy it cash, you must have liability insurance and real plates before driving of the dealer's lot!
I live in Canada and when you buy a car here you go to the MOT (ministry of transportation) and show bill of sale, a sellers package, and you get the vehicle transferred into your name and get metal plates right then and there. No opportunity to even deal with a "temp" paper plate.
Here in Australia you get metal “dealer plates” on an unlicensed vehicle from an actual dealer, to test drive in, dealers include proper licence fees in the cost and car will be plated properly when you pick it up from the lot. An unlicensed vehicle should only be driven to the license & inspection centre where it gets safety checked before you pay for the registration and receive the metal plates. 99% of sellers register cars before selling them privately.
There are temporary paper permits in at least some provinces, but typically only for "in transit" situations, not for temporary use until the real plate arrives.
@Nunya Bitnezz I don't know about other provinces, but in Alberta you never need to go to a registry agent for a vehicle license again once you have your plate... but you need a plate.
You still do in the United States. The problem is people buy these of individuals. Then never transfer the title. Either due to can't get an inspection done or an outstanding ticket prevents them from it.... And this is not Canada.. Where they deem you a terrorist trucker. They take your bank account...
Oklahoma has this same problem. It is rampant. I cant go 10 miles down the road without seeing an expired temporary tag. It's super rare for me to see a temporary tag that is not expired.
A simple 10 minute drive in Tulsa County and you'll pass at LEAST 10 cars that have heavy damage on them and have not been repaired. That is a huge signal of no insurance Insurance will not insure a damaged/inoperable vehicle What does TDP do? Nothing
Oklahoma City is the same. I drive 10 minutes and literally 30-40% of the vehicles have paper plates. Some are torn up, dates missing, etc. Cops don't seem to care.
I live in MA and the DMV started issuing temp/paper plates during the pandemic due to the backlog. It is already a problem here. I purchased a car vehicle recently in NC which I brought back to MA. I was pulled over within the first week because they wanted to check if my temp plates were real. I showed them my paperwork and insurance and was on my way. I totally understood the reason and see it to be a problem. Glad theyre cracking down!
‘Ghosts cars’ are not an issue at all in Australia. The motor vehicle departments Down Under _never_ issue these truly idiotic temporary paper plates at all, which naturally lends itself to routine abuse. A used car which is sold by a private seller, or a car dealer, must *always* have present the front and rear registration plates, in good condition, before the car can be driven at all. The same applies to new cars sold by car dealers. Moreover, the Australian police take missing, damaged and defaced rego plates very seriously. Rego plates laws are strictly enforced. You can only drive a car with a missing rego plate, probably due to theft, immediately to the DMV in order to have new plates issued. Every office has a supply of new rego plates. The ghost car issue, which is entirely avoidable, is purely an American problem of their own creation. It just does not happen in other countries which approach these fundamental car registration matters in a far more sound, robust and decisive manner.

Temp. plates are a result of poorly written laws by legislators who believe they are more knowledgeable than they actually are. Unintended consequences result from poorly thought out laws. Very common in Texas.
I was just hit by a steel barrel that rolled off a truck. The police asked if it was for the insurance and said they no longer investigate property damage claims. I was hit by an uninsured motorist more than once and the cops write down the expired insurance info and you have file a claim to find out it's bogus.
The same cops that won't do their jobs and get these people off road in the first place? Why are our tax dollars buying automatic plate scanners again?
Why should you need to register an automobile and order to have insurance? What is having insurance have to do with this? What does financial responsibility and remedy for wrongdoing have anything to do with these operations that are wasting resources when they could be investigating actual crimes? Not hypothetical, anecdotal or theoretical crimes? If someone is not going to have insurance they are not going to be financially responsible either way.
@@HoneyBadger1779 They usually don't pay. The worst thing that happens is they lose their license and drive anyway. I was run-over by someone and he just skipped State.
I drove around on BS tags with no license for years. Looking at the consequences of it I def saved a lot of money compared to inspections, insurance, etc, but I am very glad to have finally gotten my life together. It's a good feeling to not have to worry about jumping out of a moving vehicle every time an Officer gets behind me. All legit from here on out, the stress just isn't worth it, if I had gotten into an accident I would have been in big trouble.
TBH, they should do away with the tag fees and raise the gas tax instead. That way you're only paying based on how much you drive, and people who put less wear and tear on the road won't have to pay as much as people who drive three story gas guzzling pickup trucks 500 miles a week. People who only own very lightweight vehicles, and don't drive much, are contributing almost nothing to road wear. It's stupid to threaten them with vehicle forfeiture unless they pay extortionate fees every single year.
Safety inspections are also a thing. Also, I'd attest that someone driving a car with one of these is much more prone to drive a lot more carelessly. Someone who's a lot less worried about consequences is a lot more prone to road rage, brake check you, flee an accident, etc.
When I lived just outside of Austin in Pflugerville, I knew people that kept getting paper tags for cars and trucks parked on the private property of a mobile home park. Because these were on private property the police could do nothing about it and towing companies didn't want to get involved when the property manager asked for the vehicles to be removed as abandoned. This is such a big problem in many states.
No license, registration or insurance? So basically, you haven't paid for the governments permission to drive the car you own on the roads your taxes have paid to build and maintain!
They should do away with those temporary paper plates in the states that issue them and nationwide. Here in New York where we DO NOT issue them, they are also a nuisance. I see so many vehicles with them from other states including New Jersey breaking all kinds of traffic laws. Speeding and red light cameras don't stop them because the plates are fake.
I live and work here in Dallas and I actually made a comment to my girlfriend a while ago noticing the influx of paper plates on cars, crazy to think most of those were probably ghost cars
I personally experienced an encounter here in Colorado. A migrant driving a car with a fake Texas paper plate collided with me. He supposedly didn’t speak English and had no drivers license nor insurance. He was cited for reckless driving and having no license. As far as I know he didn’t appear in court.
Similar thing happened to my sister in Seattle. She was t-boned by a guy and he was cited on the spot. Fast fwd one week: She gets a notice she's being sued by the guy. The case actually went to court and everyone - incl his lawyer and interpreter - were there. Where was the driver? Who knows? Back to whence he came
@@johnschoolcraft4160 Well if they were to add officers to work on this with more emphasis, it would take revenue and we know Texans don't like taxes..................
Same in California, unless the plates are stolen, lost or damaged in a wreck.People take the plates off because to get valid registration and annual tags on the plate you have to have a drivers license and proof you have insurance.
In Portland, people don't use paper plates, metal plates or any type of plates. Just roll around in garbage dump, trashed out vehicles and the cops don't seem to care. It's truly incredible.
The cops cant do anything about it. The case will be thrown out by the DA and the person will be let out of jail with an apology and probably a free crack rock.
Makes me so glad I waste money on a registration that seemingly serves very little benefit to myself, especially when I must go get new plates as the old ones are stolen. Don't even get me started on the tinted plate covers...
My wife and I have typically bought used vehicles from people we know. Vehicle comes with license plates. While that is the majority of our vehicle purchases, we have bought from the used lot of a new car dealership, used car dealers, an auction, and even Facebook Marketplace. We've personally never had more than one temporary, paper tag on any vehicle we've bought. We've always gotten proper metal license plates and paperwork before the temporary tags expire, where applicable. However, we know people who've bought vehicles at "buy here, pay here" lots and some have been given a string of temporary paper tags, one after the other, until the car is paid off. The used car lot, in some instances, refuses to provide proper registration & title until every last dollar of the installment payment is made. The correct thing to do is to issue the title to the buyer and put a lein on the car until it is paid in full. But issuing a string of temporary tags is how they prefer to do it. I've also seen ads on OfferUp for temporary tags. Nowadays the ads are often titled something else entirely, but in the picture and buried in the description, you can see they're really selling temporary tags. I've sent one or two such listings to a friend who works in law enforcement. I think the mills turning out the temporary tags and the used car lots refusing to issue proper documents until the automobile is fully paid should be the subject of scrutiny by law enforcement. The drivers should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis - some are clearly complicit, and others, victims of unscrupulous used car dealers. My 2 cents.
Not every state works the same way. In New York State when you buy a car you bring your license plates. You never let anybody take yours. Because if they get a ticket you get the bill because it’s your plate.
The buy here pay here dont give up the title,which makes them the owner. This comes into play if the person doesn't pay! They can legally repo the car. They still have the only title and registration!
Add arrest, jail time, and a very steep fines to who ever used the illegal tag or plates, as long as the punishment of the crime is weak, people will always abuse the system.
need to make sure the issuing part is locked up first. Once they put into place an easily verifiable system so drivers know it's a scam and they have no wiggle room in court, them tack on , fines, jail time and license suspensions. First offense fine, 2nd fine and jail time, third, fine, jail time and license suspension.
System make money ..they don't care about safety....they care about safety free money in hygienes pocket..legal corrupters ..like modern cartels....govements think we peopleblind and stupid😅
Simple solution - seize the vehicle and auction it off, with the proceeds going to the police department. And charge the driver with a misdemeanor with mandatory jail time. If these people had to sit in jail for 30 days, and knew the car they paid for was gone forever, they wouldn't use these fake tags.
A couple of things could help this. First; separate the Registration from the Inspection Sticker. There is no reason for them to be linked. Second; separate the Insurance requirement, from the registration. Leave the Insurance requirement connected to the Inspection Sticker.
Solution to this in PA is, you must have a physical metal plate in addition to the printed temporary registration tag. It’s law that all cars unless purchased out of state have a metal tag.
Only problem is nobody enforces it i live in PA and i see cars with paper temp tags in the windows all the time with no metal plate And in Philly i see cars with no tags at all just driving around.

Stop wasting your money! Unless you are in commerce and are using a license plate, it's your right to control an automobile on the PUBLIC ROADS payed for by TAXES.

People were doing this with the dealership tags buying them and pretending the car was "new" or registered. Now with the DMV forcing temporary tags people are just making copies of tags and doing the same thing
My wife got a used car (from a shady "dealership" where the main office was a run down trailer on the lot...) a while back that didn't have any plates on it, which I thought was strange but the dealer said they were out of state and expired so he had to take them off. After a few weeks of driving around without plates (the guy said he'd file the paperwork and get the plates sent to the apartment ... for an additional fee of course ... but he sent them to the wrong address), she got pulled over but was let go with an apology when the cop saw the temporary registration taped to the back window. At the same time, a coworker had just gotten a brand new car and replaced the dealer plates with DMV ones, so I talked her into giving me the dealer plates to put on my wife's car so she wouldn't get pulled over again while we waited for the real plates (that would never come, of course, but that was a whole other thing to deal with).
This is actually a profitable venture for the police. Most of these cars will never be bailed out of impound and become state property to be auctioned off.
If people would register the vehicles this wouldn’t be. It’s profitable for people that don’t want to do the right thing, register and carry insurance.
Pre lazer printers or the printing press , paper tags might havemade sense but now they're just an invitation to criminal behavior . If you create the opportunity, like keys in your car , wallet left on the table , or printed plates , then since most criminals are creatures of opportunity , you're effectively inviting crime . Ditch the paper tags , whatever convenience they initially created is far outweighed by the cost to law and order , or to your insurance if a ghost car crashes into you . With so
My dad was a cop. Fake paper tags were a pet peeve of his. Every time he saw some old hooptie rolling around with a faded paper tag he’d pull them over right away. Always had an expired tag underneath. He said if you really want to fix them impound the car. Only the registered owner can pick it up and these drivers never bothered to register it in their own name, it belongs to the guy they bought it from.
20+ years ago in Michigan when you purchased a car/truck, the dealer either gave you a 30 temp plate if you were going to re-register your old plate (personal plate) or handled you the standard Michigan license plate and attached it to your vehicle. They were connected with SoS and also handed you your registration papers. If you were stopped leaving the dealer, you had all your documents on you. Last year in Michigan, I saw a Ford F-250 with expired Texas paper plate. Texas was being sued by New Jersey and another state over this BS
These people are fools. It's only a matter of time before they get caught. People commonly think driving is their right, and not the privilege that it is
And hopefully the Auto Insurance Agencies will join in. Right now it sounds like us responsible folks (licensed and insured) are the ones paying for others dishonesty.
Stop wasting your money! Unless you are in commerce and are using a license plate, it's your right to control an automobile on the PUBLIC ROADS payed for by TAXES. You don't need a license, plate, insurance, or registration for an automobile unless it's a "vehicle" that is "transporting" goods or people in commerce! Rights, we are born with them and they are God given, live on
Here in GA they disincentivize going the legal route by charging new residents a sales tax on their vehicle even though they already paid sales tax when they bought the car in their other state. Can't say as I blame them for not registering here.
At least the money collected there is going to ACTUAL road repair. Im in SC and the roads are absolutely HORRIBLE. I-85 is STILL being worked on towards the northern border and work was going on there back in 2018 when I went to DC. 6 years later, STILL going on.
I've never understood these people or the blacked out plate people. It's like screaming "please pull me over". I suspect these people are simply stupid. As they pointed out the guy that fled had warrants. This will be the default assumption of any officer.

@@StevieWonder737 you should be educated on exercising rights just in case you're stopped. It can go horribly wrong if you're not educated properly on the subject
The problem with not having the car properly registered is that if it's impounded, they might end up contacting the last registered owner to come get it. That happened to a friend of mine... twice. A truck he used for a trade in got impounded about a year later. So he went down, paid the fee, and took the truck back. Gave it to the family mechanic to get rid of... then a year later he got notified that it was impounded again. However he couldn't get to it right away and by the time he could someone else had paid the fee and taken the truck.
That's why you also want to have the buyer fill out a bill of sale, and then keep it handy, to prove it's not yours anymore, if they fail to title in their own name, and end up injuring someone in it.
@@JoeZyzyx He originally traded it in at a car dealership. A reputable one that should have taken care of that. The second time (family mechanic) was someone he knew and thought he could trust to take care of it.
In California you submit the paperwork yourself saying when and who you cook the car to. It's called the Certificate on Liability I think. DMV then removes your name from any association with that vehicle.
4 citations and gets to walk away? Not a very good deterrent for continued incidents. Just pay the citations and wait to do it again another day. Why not confiscate the vehicle? Otherwise, stop complaining about this type of crime taking place. Legislators are too incompetent to change the laws or keep up with laws in other states.
I just purchased a car at the end of December. A temporary paper plate was issued which expired in 60 days. I did not receive actual license plates until a week before expiration. It seems strange that it would take that long to receive the actual plates. We need to update the process to minimalize the time to get the final plates or even the need for temporary plates. Unfortunately, criminals will find a way to work around any system developed.
That's why they don't have paper plates in my state. You are issued a metal plate the moment you register the vehicle and simply don't have one until then.
It no longer takes 30 or 90 days to issue a pre-printed metal license plate. In Virginia I don't believe car dealers issue temporary tags anymore, and even when they did they couldn't simply print them out on the office deskjet printer one by one, they had pre printed temp tags issued to them by the box-full or truckload from the DMV. But eventually somebody got smart and figured out they could streamline things by giving car dealers boxes of permanent plates that they can issue to each sold vehicle, and then the DMV simply has to process the registration using those plate numbers. And now that's all probably done automatically and electronically without any DMV personnel needing to do anything. And if you buy from a person rather than a dealership, you were always forced to immediately go to the DMV to register and tag your car.

Why were they let go instead of being charged for no registration or insurance? This is another reason law abiding people have to pay so much for their insurance.
You do notice the cars are being impounded. It's going to cost them a lot more to get the cars released than it would have to register them. And who says they are not being ticketed? (I'm assuming these drivers did have a valid driver license.) Anyway, in most cases throwing the drivers in jail just creates more hassle; easier to ticket them and let them walk home.
They impounded the car, gave them 4 tickets, and made them walk home, proportional punishment to the offense. No evidence of deliberate malfeasance, no arrest. You don’t even know if the buyer was a victim of a scam too.
I work as Armed Security in a private neighborhood and when we have mail theft or porch pirates, they ALWAYS have paper plates. I think that if you are caught with a fake paper plate, you should get a $100 fine and a week in jail.
nj here. i law breaking getting worse. first it was electric scooters and gas scooters wth no plates. now i see high number cc' bikes with no plates. worse and worse.
I think impoundment the car and selling it at public auction is more befitting of the crime. Plus, treat these folks harsh like a DWI charge...throw the book at them cause they've likely broken several laws: no license or registration, no insurance, probably on drugs, and wanted on an active warrant.
Great job GP PD! I drive a lot, & see a MINIMUM of 10 ‘paper plates’ a day. I’ve lived in Houston 5 years now, & I’ve seen ONE car pulled over by police. They seem to do NOTHING about vehicular crime here.!
@@johnsmith5028 You’re not ‘getting it’. A lot of the sleazebags that have paper plates do it on purpose….so that the can COMMIT the crimes you’re talking about, without being traced. And, not registering your car, or having no insurance, is against the law, & therefore IS a crime! 🤷🏻♂️🙄
Its because it's a self created problem. They're advertising it to everyone now. Look at all the revenue they generate "being the good guys" and winning public support. People need to use their F-ing brains.
I have noticed lots of expired temp tags here in Arkansas. I thought it might be because of the ridiculous prices people were paying for cars. A $10k markup on a car is going to add up to even more sales tax when time to register arrives.
I think your average person who does this is trying to avoid those cameras that issue tickets for speed or red lights even when the circumstances do not justify it. Not saying it is right but many states have already outlawed these devices and I imagine people don't want to feed a flawed system that usually just puts money in a politicians pocket.
My son bought a motorcycle from a dealer a few months back. He was sitting in a local park after dark and an officer ran his plates. The officer, said the temp plate was not registered! Thankfully, the bike was insured and my son had the bill of sale. Officer let him go. Not sure what happened next. Arizona
I see this all the time! Thing is I don’t even live in Texas! Down my street there is 3 or 4 cars with a “temp” tag. They’ve had these cars for months maybe over a year for one! Everywhere I go I spot these fake tags. When I’m on break at my job I see them all over the parking lot as well.
I have seen lots of those Texas Paper plates here in NYC 🗽 I wondered why someone would make a trip from NYC to Texas to buy a car. Everything makes perfect sense now.
So if someone managed to drive around like this for 5 years until getting caught, you can be 100% sure that they will pay for the 4 tickets and do that same shit again. :D There are things in USA I'll never understand. On one side you're going to jail for having an open bottle of whiskey in your passenger seat, but you will walk away with 4 tickets after driving a car with a home printed plate, no paperwork and no insurance for 5 years...
I'm very frustrated. This is seen everywhere. I just got an insurance hike. Im considering giving up my car. Just got it registered and check for inspection. My insurance agent did not inform me of incident report or police report. This is very hard for those of us that are law abiding citizens. My heart goes out to all. If you have any suggestions on how to look into this matter please advise. Good job to law enforcement.
Like others have mentioned - Canada did away with paper plates over a decade ago - If you bought it from a "person" you walk into our DMV ( Service Ontario or equivalent for other provinces) Plunk down your $100 or so and walk out with plates if the sellr did a safety - If you bought it from a dealer it is the dealers' job to send someone down to our DMV and plunk down the $100 for the plates. For a person the line is typically 20 min - There are dedicated tellers for dealers and they are typically in and out in 5... No safety - No plate - If you have done your safety in your driveway, it still has to be towed to where a licensed mechanic looks it over and gives their John Henry and then you to and get your plate. It used to be you could get a 15-day paper plate to get work done for safety - No longer.
Yea that’s not how easy it works here in the states unfortunately! Most places of not all, getting an appt at the dmv (if your able to get one) takes weeks or months & when you finally do get one your guaranteed to be at the DMV ALL DAY LONG regardless of your reason for being there. It’s pathetic actually
Get rid of those temporary plates. Go back to posting the info on the inside of the windshield like they used to do. Government makes another stupid law.
Ban paper plates. Drivers buying vehicles should be transferring plates from the previous. Speed up the process to get plates on brand new vehicles. Just get rid of paper plates altogether.
I don't think banning paper plates is practical. While most of our vehicles were bought from friends and came with metal license plates, a couple of vehicles we bought came from used car lots and one was even bought at auction. No metal plates in the latter instances. We had to get paper, temporary tags with the vehicles bought at used car dealers. The auction vehicle was the most fun! I had to rebuild the car and get it inspected in order to get it registered properly with metal license plates and a windshield sticker issued. In order for it to pass inspection, it first had to be driven at both city and highway speeds for the OBD2 self-diagnostics to complete and the computer to say "ready for inspection". Not possible to do in our apartment complex parking lot. I say we probably need a 48-hr tag that says the vehicle is insured and mechanically sound but is being driven only to verify repairs and for the vehicle's emissions systems self-diagnosis procedures to complete before the vehicle is re-inspected and cleared to be properly licensed.
‘Ghosts cars’ are not an issue at all in Australia. The motor vehicle departments Down Under _never_ issue these truly idiotic temporary paper plates at all, which naturally lends itself to routine abuse. A used car which is sold by a private seller, or a car dealer, must *always* have present the front and rear registration plates, in good condition, before the car can be driven at all. The same applies to new cars sold by car dealers. Moreover, the Australian police take missing, damaged and defaced rego plates very seriously. Rego plates laws are strictly enforced. You can only drive a car with a missing rego plate, probably due to theft, immediately to the DMV in order to have new plates issued. Every office has a supply of new rego plates. The ghost car issue, which is entirely avoidable, is purely an American problem of their own creation. It just does not happen in other countries which approach these fundamental car registration matters in a far more sound, robust and decisive manner.
I was once on the interstate in Washington state. I was following a black SUV with a California plate hidden behind one of those bumper hitch bike racks. All fine and dandy until the wind caught the plate and it flipped up like it was made of cardboard. From a distance it looked like any other CA plate it wasn't temporary.
Regular California license plates are pretty thin aluminum, but if attached properly with a few bolts they shouldn't flip up even on a windy day. My car is 16 years old with 16 y.o. California plates front and rear and I've never had a problem with them even in the strong 'Santa Ana' winds we get here in So California.
In Houston most paper plated cars are getaway vehicles. Thats why no matter if camera catches the exact car or plate it never results in arrests. Its basically a cars ski mask and criminals love it.
I'm not condoning this behavior but if the insurance companies would quit raping us with their costs maybe more people would quit doing this. Also, these insurance companies need to be regulated more. They have too much freedom to take advantage of us via raising coverage costs for no reason, etc. JMO
In the Charlotte Nc paper tags that I have seen sometimes are so old the numbers are faded out I can not read it I see the same cars this way for many months

I really dislike the wording of the statement about "Your insurance will take the hit" .... Literally had a woman ruin my life by pulling through 5 lines of traffic with her lights off. Yeah im blessed to be alive but she did not give a flying fuck. She went all in - my insurance is still fucking me 2 years later.
4 hrs off the lot. She called her insurance right after and was able to have it for herself. None the less, off a dealership lot - its not ecpected by law enforcement for you to have insurance
Unless they arrest the drivers this is not going to stop. Crimes in the US are out of control. We all pay for the damages, losses, and injuries and death via uninsured motorist premium and our tax.
If you have insurance and they don't then your ok that's why you buy insurance why do I need it when if my car gets totaled I can just go and buy anther car or put another one to gather cheaper than doing it you way.
Arrest the drivers for committing a crime, not for breaking some rules! Make access to the rules easier for registration so taxes can be collected more efficiently. Greedy insurance and high tax rates are the beginning of the problem. Paper plates should not be assigned to a resident.

I am curious… Wisconsin temporary paper plates can be run by the cops through the DMV for info on owner and vehicle… does Texas use a different way of registering their vehicles? I mean, you cannot even get a paper plates without registering your car and that’s only if you do so online instead of going to the DMV in which then, they hand you actual plates for your car. That paper plate is a temporary plate with expiration dates and series of alphanumeric numbers that can be used to query the DMV for info.
its so funny i bought a car i just wanted to drive it home without a plate, i was probably driving 1 or 2 blocks and got pulled over, how these people can drive for years without getting caught is mindblowing

@@MrTottanham : You do know that if you've just bought a car, that you are allowed to take it to wherever you live?

My wife and I are dealing with this exact issue...our uninsured motorist coverage had to pay for my wife's damage and medical bills. I'm just waiting for my rate to go up
You are either an idiot or a liar. I don’t know what state you live in, but I doubt that the law is any different. Your insurance company can’t raise your rates for things that are not your fault that includes uninsured motorist which is why you pay a premium for that? I don’t know if it’s mandatory coverage but if it isn’t and you didn’t get it, that’s on you it since doesn’t cost much and it also pays for your pain and suffering and will pay for your collision deductible. I’ve had hundreds of thousands of dollars in claims and my premium has never gone up one penny because none of them were my fault. You must be stupid to think your premium will go up if you make a claim under your comprehensive coverage for theft or vandalism or something else. before you go spouting off on TH-cam, maybe educate yourself about insurance. call your insurance commissioners office and ask them questions. clearly you don’t know anything. There are some unscrupulous insurance agents that will say things to make you jump to the conclusion that your premium will go up If you make a claim on your comprehensive insurance, etc. get them to put that in writing and then report them to the insurance commissioner’s office. Of course they won’t put that in writing. They will “clarify” what they “actually” meant when you tell them you want that in writing. If your insurance agent ever alludes that they don’t know if your premium will go up if you make a certain claim, they are lying and you should change agents and tell them you’re changing because they’re a liar.
In Maryland, our car was parked in front of home. Snow plow hit it. He took off fast. We chased him down. He was a green card, valid driver license, but no personal insurance.

You don't need a license or registration to "travel" if not in commerce. Did you know that? It's not "law" to "register" your car to THE STATE OF. Of course you can't be doing mischief either. Codes and statutes are NOT LAW. I just thought to mention it. Of course you can't steel cars either. There should be papers to prove who owns it. I use a passport. But this doesn't excuse fake plates either. I'm hoping I get my next car new and take the MCO instead of Certificate of Title. NOT registering it either. I figure I would own it and not THE STATE OF. Then might put in a trust. Where are the Reg Z plates anyway? Or could put under a DOT number after in a trust. But that's complicated. Know what you're doing and do it right the first time or you get arrested. Naughty naughty. Just do it right.

I've never understood paper tags. Here in Alberta, you walk into the DMV with your proof of ownership, your drivers license and proof of insurance, and they issue you an actual metal license plate right on the spot. No waiting, no mailing, no paper tags. You just get your license plate within an hour of buying your new or used vehicle. And NOT at the car dealership. You have to go to the DMV to pick up your plate.
Because Socialists need artificial jobs. Occasionally you might benefit but at what cost, lol.
is it free too?
I live in Virginia, and they offer paper plates, but there's no reason to. You can walk into a DMV and be in and out within an hour with metal plates, a new title, and registration for any vehicle you buy.
Here in Ontario, if new plates are being issued to the car, the car dealer can go to the DMV on the buyer's behalf, purchase the new plates, put it on the car for the buyer, and then the buyer picks up the car with the plate and ownership already in it and can drive off the lot with everything they need.
In BC you can get temp tags to move a vehicle, but you buy a short term insurance for that tag. OTOH, you can transfer your plates from your old vehicle to your new vehicle. I've had the same plate for 30 years now.
We bought a new truck in 2022 and after the permanent tags came in, we got a TOLLTAG bill for the paper tag (which we still have in our possession) - which was photographed on a Nissan sedan. Had to fight with the toll company over bogus charges because they said the DMV identified the tag as ours even though the picture showed a Nissan and the fake paper tag says 2014 Nissan. The DMV had verified it was for a 2032 truck. Toll company didn't care. Nightmare. So glad they are finally fixing that problem.
Was this the infamous Texas Tags? I started receiving bills every month from TXTag for driving on tolls roads in Austin, TX. The only problem is I have never driven any vehicle in the state of TX. After 2 letters to them I finally called and talked to a nice woman who looked my plates up and said it was a plate for a trailer not a vehicle. After 5 months of getting billed she stopped the charges and fixed the issue. Don't pay these people. I thought it was a scam but NO, it's the state of Texas!
@@WilliamDean-y4w no. NTTA
TXTag is everywhere else in Texas
Why didn’t you shred the paper tag ?
The obvious solution is for Motor Vehicles Department to stop issuing paper plates. We would walk into DMV, fill out the forms, pay the fees, and were handed an envelope with a pair of new license plates and the validation tags to stick on them. My sister-in-law went to the dealer window at DMV with the paperwork for all sales in the last 24 hours or over a weekend and walked out with registration for each vehicle. They told customers that they had 48 hours to return the loaner plates (DMV clearly marked those plates as Dealer Temporary). You had to be able to forge license plates and registration tags, not just be able to print your "picture of a license plate".
Japan does the same shit. They have official loaner plates for unregistered cars that need to temporarily use public roads. It always seemed wild to me that states in this country don't have something more official than a print out.
The obvious solution is to let people be free and stop requiring free people to do things. That's not freedom. Taxes are stealing, we pay cops to take more money from us... That sounds exactly like freedom to you?? 🤔
Another great way is just to keep a bunch of random unassigned plates on hand at the dmv, when someone registers their vehicle, they can assign a plate they already have to the registration. If someone wants a custom plate, then they get temporary dealer tags. Voila! You walk out with tags that day and no more paper tags.
Why stop issuing paper plates? The officer said for every bogus paper plate he catches, there's probably 10 more passing by. Seems like an opportunity to get criminals and unworthy cars off the road, they just need to create a special unit to focus on this effort.
It's really not a big deal lol calm down.
I think this problem has an easy fix; have the dealer issue the actual license plate. Since I bought my first new car in the 80's in Puerto Rico, the dealer put the official license plate immediately before I drove away. Today, they still do it that way. Another interesting fact is that in Puerto Rico, the license plate stays with the car forever until it goes to the junkyard to die. When you sell your used car, the registration has the license plate number which then changes to the new owner's name.
That's how it should be done!
There are some dealerships that do. I got my plate at a dealership one time. They had a stack of em piled up.
Yeah but then they have to make sure you have insurance and registration and that would mean they would sell less cars because most of these people cannot afford that nor do they intend to ever pay it. Greedy dealerships.
Cool. That might work there. But with the number of people and vehicles on the mainland,that's not feasible.
@@eddy3080 paid more there than at the dmv.
I have been seeing paper tags all over the place since COViD. I thought it was strange but makes sense people are using them to skip out on registration, insurance, and use stolen cars. I am sure there is a way to end this but all I can think is to get rid of the temp tags.
Can't make that assumption. Lots of state services were down during covid. I had a valid "expired" drivers license for over a year. I also had expired registration stickers for 6+ months. Hard to resolve issues like that when there's nobody handling those services. I'd be more apt to assume lots of cars are being sold post covid where people actually need to drive again.
What would work is a genuine crackdown. Just impounding the car is not a sufficient punishment; what is needed are felony charges and lengthy prison stretches for deliberately ignoring the law. Yeah, it would be expensive to jail a lot of perps, but as soon as word got out, there would be rush to the DMV to make your car legal. Just consider the expense of people not paying their tabs and insurance; the savings from that would pay for a lot of prison time.
@@freewill1114 There should be a fraud charge and a three-year sentence (non-reducible) for this fake license plate deception and cheating the public who get authentic plates for their car.

@@kaybee5008 Exactly. They keep adjusting everything for inflation except for my salary.
The solution is pretty simple. Where I live, you either go to a DMV location, acquire the plate for the vehicle you've purchased... and then take the plate to dealership where you can pick up your vehicle and drive away. Alternately, the dealership will obtain the plate on your behalf for a fee. There's absolutely no need to have dealerships print out temporary paper plates. This is a nonsense process.
What about people to people sales?
I just bought a car last year in Florida. When I went to pick it up and do the final paperwork they already had a license plate for me and put it on the car before I even drove off the lot.

apok, good advice, taking the tags off a car you sell. Hadn't thought of that angle.
Today I was driving behind enough vehicles that had paper plates that I began to think that this is not really happening. But it was.
In recent weeks or months my observations of an un believable number on cars without any plates whatsoever.
Last summer I was made aware of a store that someone had stolen several of their highest priced drones by simply walking in and grabbing them, and running out the a waiting car which had no plates on it so the security cameras had no useful information to use to catch the thieves. Masks because of covid were of course part of the crime.
After learning about this is when I started watching all the cars without identifying markings
They seem to be the type of car you might guess. Blacked out windows and some other distinguishing features that are conveniently able to be seen as a particular type of defense mechanism that get called out when the car might be pulled over by police.
It’s not acceptable.
The police have given me tickets ages ago because of expired tabs. But I don’t think any of the cars I have looked at being ticketed along the roads seem to be missing the plates.
That’s BS.
There's going to be more than usual, as a lot of cars bought between 2020 and 2021 are "stimulus cars," some never registered "because lockdowns" Most legit buyers have registered, leaving the ones who bought less-than-legal still with paper tags.

It should be illegal. Cars should NOT leave the lot without real metal plates and insurance. Even if you buy it cash, you must have liability insurance and real plates before driving of the dealer's lot!
I live in Canada and when you buy a car here you go to the MOT (ministry of transportation) and show bill of sale, a sellers package, and you get the vehicle transferred into your name and get metal plates right then and there. No opportunity to even deal with a "temp" paper plate.
Here in Australia you get metal “dealer plates” on an unlicensed vehicle from an actual dealer, to test drive in, dealers include proper licence fees in the cost and car will be plated properly when you pick it up from the lot. An unlicensed vehicle should only be driven to the license & inspection centre where it gets safety checked before you pay for the registration and receive the metal plates. 99% of sellers register cars before selling them privately.
There are temporary paper permits in at least some provinces, but typically only for "in transit" situations, not for temporary use until the real plate arrives.
It was that way in the States in like the 70’s. Everything is online now. DMV doesn’t even see your face but once a decade.
@Nunya Bitnezz I don't know about other provinces, but in Alberta you never need to go to a registry agent for a vehicle license again once you have your plate... but you need a plate.
You still do in the United States. The problem is people buy these of individuals. Then never transfer the title. Either due to can't get an inspection done or an outstanding ticket prevents them from it....
And this is not Canada.. Where they deem you a terrorist trucker. They take your bank account...
Oklahoma has this same problem. It is rampant. I cant go 10 miles down the road without seeing an expired temporary tag. It's super rare for me to see a temporary tag that is not expired.
A simple 10 minute drive in Tulsa County and you'll pass at LEAST 10 cars that have heavy damage on them and have not been repaired.
That is a huge signal of no insurance
Insurance will not insure a damaged/inoperable vehicle
What does TDP do?
Nothing
GOOD! We need more people not falling for the scam of the DMV, driving at liberty!
Oklahoma City is the same. I drive 10 minutes and literally 30-40% of the vehicles have paper plates. Some are torn up, dates missing, etc. Cops don't seem to care.
I live in MA and the DMV started issuing temp/paper plates during the pandemic due to the backlog. It is already a problem here. I purchased a car vehicle recently in NC which I brought back to MA. I was pulled over within the first week because they wanted to check if my temp plates were real. I showed them my paperwork and insurance and was on my way. I totally understood the reason and see it to be a problem. Glad theyre cracking down!
Sounds like an illegal stop to me....
‘Ghosts cars’ are not an issue at all in Australia. The motor vehicle departments Down Under _never_ issue these truly idiotic temporary paper plates at all, which naturally lends itself to routine abuse. A used car which is sold by a private seller, or a car dealer, must *always* have present the front and rear registration plates, in good condition, before the car can be driven at all. The same applies to new cars sold by car dealers.
Moreover, the Australian police take missing, damaged and defaced rego plates very seriously. Rego plates laws are strictly enforced. You can only drive a car with a missing rego plate, probably due to theft, immediately to the DMV in order to have new plates issued. Every office has a supply of new rego plates.
The ghost car issue, which is entirely avoidable, is purely an American problem of their own creation. It just does not happen in other countries which approach these fundamental car registration matters in a far more sound, robust and decisive manner.

TBH, they should do away with the tag fees and raise the gas tax instead. That way you're only paying based on how much you drive, and people who put less wear and tear on the road won't have to pay as much as people who drive three story gas guzzling pickup trucks 500 miles a week. People who only own very lightweight vehicles, and don't drive much, are contributing almost nothing to road wear.

My wife and I have typically bought used vehicles from people we know. Vehicle comes with license plates. While that is the majority of our vehicle purchases, we have bought from the used lot of a new car dealership, used car dealers, an auction, and even Facebook Marketplace. We've personally never had more than one temporary, paper tag on any vehicle we've bought. We've always gotten proper metal license plates and paperwork before the temporary tags expire, where applicable.
However, we know people who've bought vehicles at "buy here, pay here" lots and some have been given a string of temporary paper tags, one after the other, until the car is paid off. The used car lot, in some instances, refuses to provide proper registration & title until every last dollar of the installment payment is made. The correct thing to do is to issue the title to the buyer and put a lein on the car until it is paid in full. But issuing a string of temporary tags is how they prefer to do it.
I've also seen ads on OfferUp for temporary tags. Nowadays the ads are often titled something else entirely, but in the picture and buried in the description, you can see they're really selling temporary tags. I've sent one or two such listings to a friend who works in law enforcement.
I think the mills turning out the temporary tags and the used car lots refusing to issue proper documents until the automobile is fully paid should be the subject of scrutiny by law enforcement. The drivers should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis - some are clearly complicit, and others, victims of unscrupulous used car dealers.
My 2 cents.
right on. arnt there laws that a vehicle has to be titled and registered a certain time after purchased
Not every state works the same way. In New York State when you buy a car you bring your license plates. You never let anybody take yours.
Because if they get a ticket you get the bill because it’s your plate.
"Vehicle comes with license plates. "
Plates are not transferable.
Shady dealers and shady financing has a lot to do with this.
The buy here pay here dont give up the title,which makes them the owner. This comes into play if the person doesn't pay! They can legally repo the car. They still have the only title and registration!
Add arrest, jail time, and a very steep fines to who ever used the illegal tag or plates, as long as the punishment of the crime is weak, people will always abuse the system.
I'm surprised you didn't call for the death penalty on this one lol
people are getting sold cheaper stolen cars is the problem. These people could be innocent.
need to make sure the issuing part is locked up first. Once they put into place an easily verifiable system so drivers know it's a scam and they have no wiggle room in court, them tack on , fines, jail time and license suspensions. First offense fine, 2nd fine and jail time, third, fine, jail time and license suspension.
We're living with a mass population of illegal immigrants who love to break the law and they are not held accountable.
System make money ..they don't care about safety....they care about safety free money in hygienes pocket..legal corrupters ..like modern cartels....govements think we peopleblind and stupid😅
Simple solution - seize the vehicle and auction it off, with the proceeds going to the police department. And charge the driver with a misdemeanor with mandatory jail time.
If these people had to sit in jail for 30 days, and knew the car they paid for was gone forever, they wouldn't use these fake tags.
A couple of things could help this. First; separate the Registration from the Inspection Sticker. There is no reason for them to be linked. Second; separate the Insurance requirement, from the registration. Leave the Insurance requirement connected to the Inspection Sticker.
It used to be that way...
this is a huge problem in Cleveland, too. It started here when Covid began. They refuse to pull them over here.
Same, no plate no insurance
Yep. Inconvenient demographics.
Solution to this in PA is, you must have a physical metal plate in addition to the printed temporary registration tag. It’s law that all cars unless purchased out of state have a metal tag.
Only problem is nobody enforces it i live in PA and i see cars with paper temp tags in the windows all the time with no metal plate
And in Philly i see cars with no tags at all just driving around.

Yeah this ain't nothing new, just the paper plate has evolved. At least back then the dealership would get some free advertising outta it 😅
My wife got a used car (from a shady "dealership" where the main office was a run down trailer on the lot...) a while back that didn't have any plates on it, which I thought was strange but the dealer said they were out of state and expired so he had to take them off. After a few weeks of driving around without plates (the guy said he'd file the paperwork and get the plates sent to the apartment ... for an additional fee of course ... but he sent them to the wrong address), she got pulled over but was let go with an apology when the cop saw the temporary registration taped to the back window. At the same time, a coworker had just gotten a brand new car and replaced the dealer plates with DMV ones, so I talked her into giving me the dealer plates to put on my wife's car so she wouldn't get pulled over again while we waited for the real plates (that would never come, of course, but that was a whole other thing to deal with).
This is actually a profitable venture for the police. Most of these cars will never be bailed out of impound and become state property to be auctioned off.
Everything the police does is for profits.
If people would register the vehicles this wouldn’t be. It’s profitable for people that don’t want to do the right thing, register and carry insurance.
@@user-ln7of9gs4s I’m all for wrongdoers getting reamed. Don’t see this as a bad thing at all.
That's why you air tag or hide a burn phone with tracker app in it, so you can find it again later, and take it back.
Why don’t they make it illegal to operate a ghost car? Arrest the driver rather than just letting them walk away?
Pre lazer printers or the printing press , paper tags might havemade sense but now they're just an invitation to criminal behavior .
If you create the opportunity, like keys in your car , wallet left on the table , or printed plates , then since most criminals are creatures of opportunity , you're effectively inviting crime .
Ditch the paper tags , whatever convenience they initially created is far outweighed by the cost to law and order , or to your insurance if a ghost car crashes into you .
With so
My dad was a cop. Fake paper tags were a pet peeve of his. Every time he saw some old hooptie rolling around with a faded paper tag he’d pull them over right away. Always had an expired tag underneath. He said if you really want to fix them impound the car. Only the registered owner can pick it up and these drivers never bothered to register it in their own name, it belongs to the guy they bought it from.
Can he go to the hood and fight dangerous criminals instead?

20+ years ago in Michigan when you purchased a car/truck, the dealer either gave you a 30 temp plate if you were going to re-register your old plate (personal plate) or handled you the standard Michigan license plate and attached it to your vehicle. They were connected with SoS and also handed you your registration papers. If you were stopped leaving the dealer, you had all your documents on you.
Last year in Michigan, I saw a Ford F-250 with expired Texas paper plate.
Texas was being sued by New Jersey and another state over this BS
These people are fools. It's only a matter of time before they get caught. People commonly think driving is their right, and not the privilege that it is
@@imaramblins Ok. Stop right there on that last part. It is a right.
And hopefully the Auto Insurance Agencies will join in. Right now it sounds like us responsible folks (licensed and insured) are the ones paying for others dishonesty.

@@mikem5475 I hope that when you pull that crap during a stop that the police provide a path for the electricity to "travel" through your body.
Here in GA they disincentivize going the legal route by charging new residents a sales tax on their vehicle even though they already paid sales tax when they bought the car in their other state. Can't say as I blame them for not registering here.
At least the money collected there is going to ACTUAL road repair. Im in SC and the roads are absolutely HORRIBLE. I-85 is STILL being worked on towards the northern border and work was going on there back in 2018 when I went to DC. 6 years later, STILL going on.
@@Sovek86 That's to do with your low gas tax.
I've never understood these people or the blacked out plate people. It's like screaming "please pull me over". I suspect these people are simply stupid. As they pointed out the guy that fled had warrants. This will be the default assumption of any officer.

“The truck would follow us around if this is all we did” perfect, I support this. It’s much better than being a speed trap
There is a lot of wanted persons driving these vehicles, and there will be more because they won't pay the tickets.
The problem with not having the car properly registered is that if it's impounded, they might end up contacting the last registered owner to come get it. That happened to a friend of mine... twice. A truck he used for a trade in got impounded about a year later. So he went down, paid the fee, and took the truck back. Gave it to the family mechanic to get rid of... then a year later he got notified that it was impounded again. However he couldn't get to it right away and by the time he could someone else had paid the fee and taken the truck.
That's why you also want to have the buyer fill out a bill of sale, and then keep it handy, to prove it's not yours anymore, if they fail to title in their own name, and end up injuring someone in it.
@@JoeZyzyx He originally traded it in at a car dealership. A reputable one that should have taken care of that. The second time (family mechanic) was someone he knew and thought he could trust to take care of it.
That is why one issues a release of liability.
In California you submit the paperwork yourself saying when and who you cook the car to. It's called the Certificate on Liability I think. DMV then removes your name from any association with that vehicle.
@marih3286 "Release of Liability"
4 citations and gets to walk away? Not a very good deterrent for continued incidents. Just pay the citations and wait to do it again another day. Why not confiscate the vehicle? Otherwise, stop complaining about this type of crime taking place. Legislators are too incompetent to change the laws or keep up with laws in other states.
I just purchased a car at the end of December. A temporary paper plate was issued which expired in 60 days. I did not receive actual license plates until a week before expiration. It seems strange that it would take that long to receive the actual plates. We need to update the process to minimalize the time to get the final plates or even the need for temporary plates. Unfortunately, criminals will find a way to work around any system developed.
Agree! 👍
curious, what state is THAT SLOW?
That's why they don't have paper plates in my state. You are issued a metal plate the moment you register the vehicle and simply don't have one until then.
It no longer takes 30 or 90 days to issue a pre-printed metal license plate. In Virginia I don't believe car dealers issue temporary tags anymore, and even when they did they couldn't simply print them out on the office deskjet printer one by one, they had pre printed temp tags issued to them by the box-full or truckload from the DMV.
But eventually somebody got smart and figured out they could streamline things by giving car dealers boxes of permanent plates that they can issue to each sold vehicle, and then the DMV simply has to process the registration using those plate numbers. And now that's all probably done automatically and electronically without any DMV personnel needing to do anything.
And if you buy from a person rather than a dealership, you were always forced to immediately go to the DMV to register and tag your car.
i just bought a new BMW from a Virginia new car dealership and they put a paper plate on the car. Btw, I live in Virginia.

Why were they let go instead of being charged for no registration or insurance? This is another reason law abiding people have to pay so much for their insurance.
Government officials would actually have to do something for that. Easier to sweep it under the rug.
True just lazy
You do notice the cars are being impounded. It's going to cost them a lot more to get the cars released than it would have to register them. And who says they are not being ticketed? (I'm assuming these drivers did have a valid driver license.) Anyway, in most cases throwing the drivers in jail just creates more hassle; easier to ticket them and let them walk home.
They impounded the car, gave them 4 tickets, and made them walk home, proportional punishment to the offense. No evidence of deliberate malfeasance, no arrest. You don’t even know if the buyer was a victim of a scam too.
They WERE charged. Do you know what a ticket is?
I work as Armed Security in a private neighborhood and when we have mail theft or porch pirates, they ALWAYS have paper plates. I think that if you are caught with a fake paper plate, you should get a $100 fine and a week in jail.
nj here. i law breaking getting worse. first it was electric scooters and gas scooters wth no plates. now i see high number cc' bikes with no plates. worse and worse.
$100?!? Really?!?
That's no deterrent!!!
I'm with you on the week in jail, though! 👍
100 bucks? Are you out of your mind. 10000 bucks sounds better to me. Who wants to risk paying that?
lol 100$ fine how about a 10,000$ fine
I think impoundment the car and selling it at public auction is more befitting of the crime. Plus, treat these folks harsh like a DWI charge...throw the book at them cause they've likely broken several laws: no license or registration, no insurance, probably on drugs, and wanted on an active warrant.
Great job GP PD! I drive a lot, & see a MINIMUM of 10 ‘paper plates’ a day. I’ve lived in Houston 5 years now, & I’ve seen ONE car pulled over by police. They seem to do NOTHING about vehicular crime here.!
Bad job. They are pulling people over illegally. I wouldn’t produce any information.
only ten? hell you can go park in any supermarket parking lot and see more than 10 in Houston....
Good the cops need to focus on real crime bother people who don't have money for insurance and registration is petty and tyrannical!
@@johnsmith5028 You’re not ‘getting it’. A lot of the sleazebags that have paper plates do it on purpose….so that the can COMMIT the crimes you’re talking about, without being traced. And, not registering your car, or having no insurance, is against the law, & therefore IS a crime! 🤷🏻♂️🙄
Its because it's a self created problem. They're advertising it to everyone now. Look at all the revenue they generate "being the good guys" and winning public support.
People need to use their F-ing brains.
I have noticed lots of expired temp tags here in Arkansas. I thought it might be because of the ridiculous prices people were paying for cars. A $10k markup on a car is going to add up to even more sales tax when time to register arrives.

@@redfox_84 Then don’t buy a car.
I think your average person who does this is trying to avoid those cameras that issue tickets for speed or red lights even when the circumstances do not justify it. Not saying it is right but many states have already outlawed these devices and I imagine people don't want to feed a flawed system that usually just puts money in a politicians pocket.
My son bought a motorcycle from a dealer a few months back. He was sitting in a local park after dark and an officer ran his plates. The officer, said the temp plate was not registered! Thankfully, the bike was insured and my son had the bill of sale. Officer let him go. Not sure what happened next. Arizona
I see this all the time! Thing is I don’t even live in Texas! Down my street there is 3 or 4 cars with a “temp” tag. They’ve had these cars for months maybe over a year for one! Everywhere I go I spot these fake tags. When I’m on break at my job I see them all over the parking lot as well.

I have seen lots of those Texas Paper plates here in NYC 🗽 I wondered why someone would make a trip from NYC to Texas to buy a car. Everything makes perfect sense now.
But also because the cars in Texas aren't rusting out from salt on the roads.
So if someone managed to drive around like this for 5 years until getting caught, you can be 100% sure that they will pay for the 4 tickets and do that same shit again. :D There are things in USA I'll never understand. On one side you're going to jail for having an open bottle of whiskey in your passenger seat, but you will walk away with 4 tickets after driving a car with a home printed plate, no paperwork and no insurance for 5 years...
So the driver just walked? No charges, no handcuffs?
Did you not hear the part about the 4 tickets?
What’s the need for arresting him? It’s a victimless crime a fine is more fair than locking him up.
They lost their car and got tickets. I hope a judge would revoke their driver's license as well, but they never say what happens.
wym just walked? bro just got 4 tickets and is down a car😭
I'm very frustrated. This is seen everywhere. I just got an insurance hike. Im considering giving up my car. Just got it registered and check for inspection. My insurance agent did not inform me of incident report or police report. This is very hard for those of us that are law abiding citizens. My heart goes out to all. If you have any suggestions on how to look into this matter please advise. Good job to law enforcement.
Like others have mentioned - Canada did away with paper plates over a decade ago - If you bought it from a "person" you walk into our DMV ( Service Ontario or equivalent for other provinces) Plunk down your $100 or so and walk out with plates if the sellr did a safety - If you bought it from a dealer it is the dealers' job to send someone down to our DMV and plunk down the $100 for the plates.
For a person the line is typically 20 min - There are dedicated tellers for dealers and they are typically in and out in 5...
No safety - No plate - If you have done your safety in your driveway, it still has to be towed to where a licensed mechanic looks it over and gives their John Henry and then you to and get your plate.
It used to be you could get a 15-day paper plate to get work done for safety - No longer.
Yea that’s not how easy it works here in the states unfortunately! Most places of not all, getting an appt at the dmv (if your able to get one) takes weeks or months & when you finally do get one your guaranteed to be at the DMV ALL DAY LONG regardless of your reason for being there. It’s pathetic actually
why is that relevant this video is about Texas?
Yea.. And in Canada your Government deems you a Trucker Terrorist. Then they seize your bank accounts. Till you bend a knee to the New World Order...
Get rid of those temporary plates. Go back to posting the info on the inside of the windshield like they used to do.
Government makes another stupid law.
Ban paper plates. Drivers buying vehicles should be transferring plates from the previous. Speed up the process to get plates on brand new vehicles. Just get rid of paper plates altogether.
I don't think banning paper plates is practical. While most of our vehicles were bought from friends and came with metal license plates, a couple of vehicles we bought came from used car lots and one was even bought at auction. No metal plates in the latter instances. We had to get paper, temporary tags with the vehicles bought at used car dealers.
The auction vehicle was the most fun! I had to rebuild the car and get it inspected in order to get it registered properly with metal license plates and a windshield sticker issued. In order for it to pass inspection, it first had to be driven at both city and highway speeds for the OBD2 self-diagnostics to complete and the computer to say "ready for inspection". Not possible to do in our apartment complex parking lot. I say we probably need a 48-hr tag that says the vehicle is insured and mechanically sound but is being driven only to verify repairs and for the vehicle's emissions systems self-diagnosis procedures to complete before the vehicle is re-inspected and cleared to be properly licensed.
"Speed up the process" on government work? Hahahahaha
‘Ghosts cars’ are not an issue at all in Australia. The motor vehicle departments Down Under _never_ issue these truly idiotic temporary paper plates at all, which naturally lends itself to routine abuse. A used car which is sold by a private seller, or a car dealer, must *always* have present the front and rear registration plates, in good condition, before the car can be driven at all. The same applies to new cars sold by car dealers.
Moreover, the Australian police take missing, damaged and defaced rego plates very seriously. Rego plates laws are strictly enforced. You can only drive a car with a missing rego plate, probably due to theft, immediately to the DMV in order to have new plates issued. Every office has a supply of new rego plates.
The ghost car issue, which is entirely avoidable, is purely an American problem of their own creation. It just does not happen in other countries which approach these fundamental car registration matters in a far more sound, robust and decisive manner.
I was once on the interstate in Washington state. I was following a black SUV with a California plate hidden behind one of those bumper hitch bike racks. All fine and dandy until the wind caught the plate and it flipped up like it was made of cardboard. From a distance it looked like any other CA plate it wasn't temporary.
Regular California license plates are pretty thin aluminum, but if attached properly with a few bolts they shouldn't flip up even on a windy day. My car is 16 years old with 16 y.o. California plates front and rear and I've never had a problem with them even in the strong 'Santa Ana' winds we get here in So California.
In Houston most paper plated cars are getaway vehicles. Thats why no matter if camera catches the exact car or plate it never results in arrests. Its basically a cars ski mask and criminals love it.
I'm not condoning this behavior but if the insurance companies would quit raping us with their costs maybe more people would quit doing this. Also, these insurance companies need to be regulated more. They have too much freedom to take advantage of us via raising coverage costs for no reason, etc. JMO
In the Charlotte Nc paper tags that I have seen sometimes are so old the numbers are faded out I can not read it I see the same cars this way for many months

I really dislike the wording of the statement about "Your insurance will take the hit" .... Literally had a woman ruin my life by pulling through 5 lines of traffic with her lights off.

women huh? what do they ever do right?
4 hrs off the lot. She called her insurance right after and was able to have it for herself. None the less, off a dealership lot - its not ecpected by law enforcement for you to have insurance
Start making it a felony with an automatic, unappealable 10 year sentence on your first offense.
Unless they arrest the drivers this is not going to stop. Crimes in the US are out of control. We all pay for the damages, losses, and injuries and death via uninsured motorist premium and our tax.
If you have insurance and they don't then your ok that's why you buy insurance why do I need it when if my car gets totaled I can just go and buy anther car or put another one to gather cheaper than doing it you way.
Arrest the drivers for committing a crime, not for breaking some rules! Make access to the rules easier for registration so taxes can be collected more efficiently. Greedy insurance and high tax rates are the beginning of the problem. Paper plates should not be assigned to a resident.

I mean, you cannot even get a paper plates without registering your car and that’s only if you do so online instead of going to the DMV in which then, they hand you actual plates for your car. That paper plate is a temporary plate with expiration dates and series of alphanumeric numbers that can be used to query the DMV for info.

You are either an idiot or a liar. I don’t know what state you live in, but I doubt that the law is any different. Your insurance company can’t raise your rates for things that are not your fault that includes uninsured motorist which is why you pay a premium for that? I don’t know if it’s mandatory coverage but if it isn’t and you didn’t get it, that’s on you it since doesn’t cost much and it also pays for your pain and suffering and will pay for your collision deductible. I’ve had hundreds of thousands of dollars in claims and my premium has never gone up one penny because none of them were my fault. You must be stupid to think your premium will go up if you make a claim under your comprehensive coverage for theft or vandalism or something else. before you go spouting off on TH-cam, maybe educate yourself about insurance. call your insurance commissioners office and ask them questions. clearly you don’t know anything. There are some unscrupulous insurance agents that will say things to make you jump to the conclusion that your premium will go up If you make a claim on your comprehensive insurance, etc. get them to put that in writing and then report them to the insurance commissioner’s office. Of course they won’t put that in writing. They will “clarify” what they “actually” meant when you tell them you want that in writing. If your insurance agent ever alludes that they don’t know if your premium will go up if you make a certain claim, they are lying and you should change agents and tell them you’re changing because they’re a liar.
In Maryland, our car was parked in front of home. Snow plow hit it. He took off fast. We chased him down. He was a green card, valid driver license, but no personal insurance.

This is a BIG issue in NC also. Specifically the Fayetteville area.
You don't need a license or registration to "travel" if not in commerce. Did you know that? It's not "law" to "register" your car to THE STATE OF. Of course you can't be doing mischief either. Codes and statutes are NOT LAW.
