Can anyone clarify something for me :?:
From what I understand, if you stops someone and they are the owner/operator, and the operator has a suspended license, you can remove the plates from the vehicle and turn them in to the RMV. Someone tell me if I'm wrong? Thats they way I learned in the academy. I work with some guys who won't do that for whatever reason.
Second part of the question. Joe Schmoe is operating after suspension, he is locked up/or summonsed. You remove the plates from the car to be turned into the registry. The next day Joe Schmoe pays the citation he never paid and gets his license reinstated through the RMV. He comes to the police station and says he wants to pick up his plates and that his license is all taken care of. What can/do you do? Do you tell him have a nice day and take it up with the registry? Or can or do you give him his plates back?
I would say no and let him take it up with the RMV. After all the plates were seized in accordance with the RMV. The reason why I ask is that this has happened and we have some people I work with POs and/or dispatchers that end up handing them thier plates back. Half the time the plates just end up in a big pile waiting to go to the registry.
I hope someone can help to clarify this for me. Thanks in advance.
