You're in Washington? Remind me to never drive through there with expired tags. Hell, even in California, the bastion of overbearing police force and big government, they aren't as strict. I've been pulled over twice for expired tags. First time was when some motorcycle copper pulled up behind me at a red light and noticed I was four months past the registration month. Gave me a fix-it ticket which cost $10. Second time was by a female officer mere blocks from the sanctuary of my home. The tags were only a couple weeks expired though. She let me go after running my profile on their computer. Fairly attractive girl too. Might have been younger than me. When you see cops who are younger than you, you really start to feel old.
