What happens when you drive with someone else plates?
I don't have plates on my car, and I'm thinking about borrowing my friends plates for the next week or so. I know it's illegal and a felony charge, but how easy is it to get caught with someone else's? As long as I'm not speeding or doing anything wrong on the road the cops would have no reason to pull me over and find out right? I don't know for sure, but if anyone does know how that type of thing works please let me know. Thanks.
What if I borrow my friends new car, and the cops say its stolen and take me to jail? It had the keys with the dealer plates and temporary registration in the window.
One of two things probably happened..The first is that your friend filed a false police report, and wanted the use the resources of the police department to get his car back. He knew you had it, but neglected to mention this when he made the report.The second is that he did tell the police he handed you the keys and let you “borrow” the car, but you were supposed to bring in back within a certain time frame, but didn’t. We technically call this “embezzlement”, but it amounts to the same thing if you get caught driving the car…you wind up in jail until the matter is sorted out. You may or may not be charged with a crime.
Do you get in trouble if someone gets pulled over driving your unregistered vehicle?
Not so much you, as your car.More than likely, the driver will be cited for driving an unregistered vehicle. The officer may then impound the vehicle, and not release it for a minimum period, or when proof of registration and/or ownership is obtained. The VIN may be flagged, so that the registered owner may have to post special (expensive) insurance in order to register the car.All told, it’s a lot cheaper to just register the vehicle.
How can I report a car stolen if it’s not in my name?
You call the police, report the vehicle stolen and ask that a unit be sent out to your location or the location where the vehicle is supposed to be. They will then either dispatch a unit or, if they are backed up with calls, they will instruct you to come into the nearest police station and fill out a report.That’s what you need to do.Here’s the problem:Whose vehicle is it? - The police are going to want to speak with the owner at some point to determine whether or not you had any right to have the vehicle in your possession, if you indeed did. The owner is also likely to require a copy of the police report for insurance purposes. Finally, the police will almost certainly only release the vehicle if it is found to its legal owner.What is your role in the matter? - If you are simply a bystander, then there’s not much you can report to the police. They again are going to want to talk with the person who was operating or in possession of the vehicle and then the registered owner. If you are simply a fired, co-worker or person on the street, your role usually ends when you have informed the police of your status.Your story needs to “add up” - If the police come out or you go the station, what you tell them needs to make sense. If you don’t know much or what you tell doesn’t sound truthful or logical, you could find yourself in a great deal of trouble. Unless you have a good reason to become involved, you may wish to leave the heavy lifting to the vehicle’s owner.If the vehicle’s a rental, then you need to let the rental company spearhead the matter - After you have reported the theft (or potential theft) to the agency and the police, they’ll handle the majority of what remains. While they may need a statement from you, your role largely ends when the police and the rental agency come together.Frankly, unless there are strong reasons not to do so, you should allow the vehicle’s registered owner to deal with as much of this type of matter as possible.
