Funny story: When I was living in North Carolina, I got a ticket in the mail for staying past the allotted parking time. It was a $10 ticket. Trouble is, the time I was to have been parked there, I would have been at work 2 towns away. I called them and showed them and told them that I was never in this area. They ended up squashing the ticket. Fast forward to a year or so later and I'm back living in NJ. I get pulled over for an expired failed inspection sticker(the sticker was a NJ sticker while my car had NC plates and registration. I didn't have a NC inspection sticker because at the time inspection wasn't required in NC). The cop took my paperwork, returned and said that my plate didn't match my registration. He asked me if I knew. I said no but it explained a lot and I told him about the other ticket. Apparently when I got my NC registration, they had given me the wrong plate. Cop ticketed me for unclear tags and a short time later I converted everything over to NJ. I still have the plate.Parking an unregistered vehicle on a public street involves getting one of those pain-in-the-rear-hard-to-remove-orange stickers on the vehicle's window as a warning before an actual ticket is issued also, as far as I know. Heck, we had a fully registered and drive-able vehicle parked in front of our house where we have lived for more than 20 years and we were constantly getting tagged by the local police in a non-HOA neighborhood. Such a pain to get those stickers off.
