Q: Can you have Christmas lights on your car in NE?

The only information I found was that you can not have red or green lights visible directly in front, and you can not have flashing or amber lights. Does this mean I can have red mounted on the sides with blue as long as they are constantly on and not flashing or rotating?

Sometimes important documents get misplaced. Generally losing your title to a vehicle doesn't mean the person that finds the title now gets your vehicle. The person listed on the title of the vehicle is very likely still the legal title holder.

While there is no set time limit, unless the party is in custody delays of months would likely be acceptable. The forcing the court to rule is not an real option since it will likely result in a denial by the court. The defense cannot even appeal the ruling until the defendant has been sentenced.
