Where do you live? I’m pretty sure in Australia your registration is checked automatically whenever you drive past a police car, which are all equipped with cameras.


Is the ticketing automated? In my (NZ) experience, you don’t get pulled over and they leave that crap to parking wardens, who do it with pleasure.

When I walk through car parks I notice plenty of cars with expired registration.


In Australia it is state based. In South Australia some fixed cameras will automatically issue tickets (still in pain from a $600 fine I got once).

Not sure about the mobile police ones.


United States. The vehicle had a dealer plate on it (paper, handwritten)


I have seen numerous cars driving around with months long expired tabs. Right now it isn't being heavily enforced, and these tickets are quite hefty, often several hundred dollars, and are not considered a moving violation. (Seattle, WA, USA)


Not sure about WA, but over here in OH we have a covid extension - if your registration expires between March 2020 and April 2021 you have until July 2021 to renew. So I've been driving a vehicle with an expired temp tag from November.
