    Damn wish I could make up some bullshit and get my sales tax waived… Assuming they’re telling the truth.

      They’ll probably still have to pay the tax, otherwise someone’s books are not gonna check out. And then the man is gonna come for you.

        Most states will verify taxes have been paid when a vehicle is titled in the state. Without a Title, you can’t get plates.

        I was pulled over for a private plate

        So they likely haven’t titled their car in any state, and haven’t paid sales tax. Yeah, the judge is going to have a field day with this and our protagonist is going to be looking at a much much larger problem than they have now. Its one thing to run afoul of the laws. When you mess with the state’s money, they get REALLY pissed off.

            Well, they seem to revel in all the attention, maybe they see it as validation.

          Could the judge order a psychiatric review? Not familiar with US law in this context.

        Exactly! A vindictive fantasist can make so many people’s lives miserable without repercussions, but not the tax man OR the student loan man. They will find you.

      I’m more thinking about starting a 5-stars passport business online. Something tells me this pays much more than any sales taxes. The world never seems to get short of idiots.

        The real money would have been selling them passport NFTs in late 2020-early 2021. Too bad I didn’t have that business idea at the time. I’d be retired now.

          Maybe we still have a shot with blockchains validated Visas?

      I call shenanigans, you cannot wave a piece of paper that says “no sales tax” on a vehicle. The slang for registering any vehicle in most of the US is “tag, tax and title”. If you do not pay the tax, you do not get tags, which are annual (unremovable holographic vinyl) stickers. They shred if you even lift a corner. No pay, no play. This sobbie is lying about avoiding sales tax, he’s not just bananas. I hope he gets valid tags, applies them to his Sharpie ass paper plates, then decides to peel them off and sell them.
