New RMV Registration Codes

(Click here to view the original thread on the MassCops Message Board)


Posted by: USMCMP5811

Straight from the RMV

Effective February 27, 2005 the RMV will begin suspending the vehicle registrations of vehicles not in compliance with state motor vehicle safety and emissions inspection requirements.

Handle these registration suspensions as you would any others. Vehicles that have the registration suspended for inspection non-compliance are eligible to be inspected.

Due to the number of Massachusetts vehicles operated out of state, the RMV does issue exemptions to some vehicle owners while temporarily residing and/or operating their vehicles out of state. Vehicles issued the TEMPORARY exemption will display OUTSTA plus three numbers in the STKR#-DT field of the RMV response. These vehicles MUST be inspected within 15 days of returning to the Commonwealth.

New Status Codes are:
__________________________________________________ ___________

SUSP/IMF - Vehicle did not pass inspection within 60 days after a safety/emission failure.

SUSP/IMR - Vehicle was not inspected by required date.

SUSP/RXP - Inspection requirement met, however State fees owed

ACTV/PIMF- Registration is active, but pending suspension exists for not passing a re-inspection after a safety/emission failure

ACTV/PIMR- Registration is active, but a pending suspension exists for a missed inspection.

Also like someone else said in another thread, The duty tows are going to make a lot of scratch with this. not to mention if it happens after 1500 or on the weekends, most tow drivers get between 40 to 50 % commision on what they do.

Yes, it has been has not been operated on the road for the month of November. Whats next, automatic tickets for periodic inspection?

I didn't look it up, but I thought there was something that said Official Municipal vehicles (police/fire) were not legally required to have inspection stickers.

I was monitoring Brockton Pd the other day and heard an officer call in a registration plate and the status came back quote "Suspended" I know plates come back expired, revoked, capr, swap etc....never saw suspended. The officer, the dispatch and including myself were clueless. The only thing we could come up with is the MV inspection sticker was a fail status which the RMV may have suspended said vehicle for.

Any thoughts?

Irish, I'm not %100 sure about this, (becuase I'm too lazy to go downstairs and look in the cruiser to confirm) but if you have a warrant, etc I believe not only does your license get suspended, but your registration does also. Go on LEAPS and type in SUSP, then look up recent suspensions in Brockton. It will give reasons why with each listing.

Maybe I'm not getting what you are saying but any reg. status with SUSP = "Suspended"

?

Ok thanks, I will do that. The first post by USMC explained it, did not read post. The RMV must be enforcing the new RMV codes then.

Blues the suspended was on a license plate just never seen it on a plate on a license yes plate no, live and learn

Thanks all!

10-4. It used to be a lot more common to see suspended registrations. Revocations are used a lot more now. Like Mikey said, you can run a SUSP and see a whole bunch of suspensions and revocations.

I did inspections for a garage in my city and from what I was told they are required to. I'm not 100% positive because I always hear different rules from the RMV. But thats for police not sure about fire. One guy from the RMV told me it was ok to let someone pass with no driver's seat as long as they have the seat belt . Then he said they don't need side mirrors to pass but they can get cited for it if they are pulled over by a PO. I think he was full of BS so I just stood to the rules I was given at training.

My understanding as well. However, The RMV did start revoking licenses for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender. They are now linked with the SORB, and (supposedly) after someone fails to Register, they will be sent a notice and revoked within 90 days. Before they would wait for a warrant from the court (and we know how long that could take) so, this appears to be a step in the right direction.

Also, when I asked one of the legal counsel RMV people, I was told that the RMV uses the terms "suspended" and "revoked" interchangably. That there is no disctinction as far as they were concerned. ???

If a citation is written to an operator and the operator box is checked, a payment default will result in the license being suspended.

If a citation is written to an owner and the owner box is checked, a payment default will result in the registration being suspended.

More often than not if the registration is suspended, a third party was stopped driving the vehicle sometime prior and an officer wrote the owner a citation for an equipment or inspection sticker violation and the fine was never paid.

What if I check off both, Owner/operator?

So what is the deal with your reg. being susp for failure to inspect. I havent seen it. did the whole issue just die in legislation somewhere. Anyone have any insight? Thanks

Its on the books and could be instituted by the RMV. There has been talk the RMV will turn on the codes to LEAPS but it has been postponed a few times. The codes were accidently turned on a few months ago for one night. I cited someone because the reg was "suspended" with the secondary code of I think "IMF". Sgt. told me to process it as a "Suspended" reg and to look into what the secondary code was later. I called the RMV at 9am and they told me that police could not see those codes on their version of LEAPS. When I told the rep that I could see the codes, he ran it himself and I got a big "UH-OH" from the guy. One hour later the LEAPS terminal was spitting out admin messages telling PDs to disregard these codes because they were due to a software problem.
