    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.
