while I love making fun of any politician, it looks to me like the nitpicking/ripping on obama by conservatives has started a bit stronger than it did - dogbert183 Mar 20, 10:53 10

wait, how can they pull me over for an expired license based on running my plates? I might not be the owner of the car. -- nm - loosilu Mar 20, 10:48 20
- Cops can pull you over for far lesser reasons -- nm - black people SI Mar 20, 10:51 3
  - [deleted]
  - Which is why you must acquit -- nm - Zombie Johnny Cochrane Mar 20, 10:54
  - so sad and so true. I have co-workers who literally avoid certain towns because of this. nm - Jovian Mar 20, 10:52
- cause the violation runs to the car, not the owner -- nm - pigby Mar 20, 10:49 1
  - my license isn't linked to my car. -- nm - loosilu Mar 20, 10:51
- yea thats true, license expiration may not come up on a plate search, but registration definitely will. nm - Jovian Mar 20, 10:49 3
  - not being a cop, I have no idea what comes up on a computer search. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 20, 10:50 1
    - "Excuse me, Mr. tRuMaN, could you please explain the "monkey situation" to us?" -- nm - Qale Mar 20, 10:54

- well they still need to pull over the car -- nm - J Mar 20, 10:49
- but it's probable that you are. -- nm - Reagen Mar 20, 10:49 5
  - in VA, if I'm ticketed by a red light cam, I don't get points on my license. -- nm - loosilu Mar 20, 10:49 4
    - neither here. But if they stopped and checked, they would find out if your license was valid or not. -- nm - Reagen Mar 20, 10:51 3
      - my point is, how would that come up on a plate check? -- nm - loosilu Mar 20, 10:52 2
        
        I don't know if it would. But, I suppose they could look up your plate, see the registered owner and see if that person's license is valid. - Reagen Mar 20, 10:55 1
        
        it's not just about giving the ticket but getting unlicensed drivers (and therefore uninsured) off the road before they get in an accident -- nm - zork Mar 20, 10:57
- they can stop the car under that issues, and check to make - tRuMaN Mar 20, 10:48 2

- Here's why he asked: - kelly Mar 20, 10:50 9
  - indeed, not legal. don't violate any traffic laws. -- nm - loosilu Mar 20, 10:53 8
    - But even if I don't violate any traffic laws - can't they find this out by running my plates? -- nm - kelly Mar 20, 10:54 7
      - The answer is yes, the likelyhood is hazier. -- nm - Max Mar 20, 10:56 4
        
        Why is it hazier? -- nm - kelly Mar 20, 10:57 3
        
        "Can they find out?" Yes. "Will they find out?" The answer is not certain. -- nm - Max Mar 20, 10:58 2
        
        Ahh, okay. I guess I just assumed that would be something they'd easily see if running a plate check. -- nm - kelly Mar 20, 11:01 1
        
        Right. The chances they'll run your plate as one of thousands driving by is low, but possible. - Max Mar 20, 11:04
      - if they have access to the RI database. (plates are RI, yes?) -- nm - loosilu Mar 20, 10:56 1
        
        Yes. -- nm - kelly Mar 20, 10:56
