Q: My girlfriend was pulled over by a state trooper and issued a citation for out of date registration and at the time she
She couldn't find her registration card but the sticker on the license plate said it was good until 11-22 and we have the registration card now and it says the same thing what should we do
A: She should plead not guilty. A hearing will be scheduled, and if she brings proof of current registration, the trooper may be willing to withdraw the citation. At worst, a violation for expired registration carries only a fine - there are no points or license suspension. That differs however from suspended registration, which does carry a suspension. Best wishes.
