    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.
