It doesn't matter what you pay for a car. The DMV in Nevada prices what it charges to register a vehicle based on the MSRP of the vehicle when new and deducts a little every year. (Who TF ever pays MSRP?? No one) I bought a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee off an auto auction for $750 to replace the 2005 Pontiac Grand Am I bought for $1,200 a year and a half earlier. The registration for the Pontiac was $80. The registration for the Jeep was $180 even though the Jeep was 20 years old and the Pontiac was 13 years old. A car that is over 20 years old is eligible for 'Classic Car' status and you do pay a little less. Nonetheless, registration fees in Nevada are out of control!!

One thing I'd like to see the DMV do is to make temp placards to place on the back of the car rather than papers to stick in the front passenger side of the windshield. Or perhaps we should change the law to be like california the plates stay with the car when it is sold.

[@naekosl3059]

Not Vegas, but activists over a decade ago in my city complained to city council that allowing police to go into parking lots to ticket or impound cars without plates or cars whose VIN come up as stolen is discriminatory behavior. The city council stopped the police from going into any non-public-property location to patrol. So the police don't go into malls, strip malls, parking garages, hotel parking lots, or apartment parking lots/garages to look for stolen cars, stolen license plates, or missing license plates. Fighting crime creates highly disproportionate crime statistics and that must be avoided apparently.

[@The-Oneness11]

Maybe police officers are dealing with more serious crimes.

[@personnesenki4521]

How hard is it to impound these vehicles and making the owners walk?

What is the citation amount for this?

[@antgunz9594]

This is hilarious. They wont pull the car over with no license plate but pulled me over for my license plate light being out. I have registration, insurance and a drivers license. 😒

[@Mtworld18]

They won’t stopped cars like this, but will stop you for having tinted windows for “safety” reasons

[@thud9797]

People say enforce the traffic laws but operating an unregistered vehicle in most places is a criminal offense and is quite serious. Unless you can prove that you just bought it or have some other legitimate documentation the vehicle would be towed and impounded on the spot. So don't understand why this is not being done. Also without registration your insurance in the unlikely event that they even have it, would probably be voided so seems totally ridiculous this os being allowed to happen.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

We're not supposed to be a police state.

[@ihatedjinc]

I had a rental car for Cail with no tags on it

[@grumpyoldretiredcop8382]

If there were enough officers to actually enforce traffic laws, make stops and impound these "ghost cars" they might be able to make a difference. However, LV Metro just doesn't have enough officers. So, Las Vegas mayoral candidates, how are YOU going to fix this?

[@nobodyspecial9035]

When you need to make household budget cuts, car insurance is one of the first things you decide to go without. Next you default on your loans and credit cards. Food is really getting too expensive, sacrifices must be made.

[@minirunt]

Another issue is fake temporary tags.They are easy to produce. Many cities have reported major issues with such.

[@byronkacheris5781]

[@soslow4109]

Navada is the worst state for registration. Cannt get into dmv to get a plate. It also takes 6 months to a year to get your title. Dmv is passing the buck, but bmv is the problem. I know. I went through their trying to get plates and registration

[@BrianWaller-qe7gr]

Moved to Utah from Vegas. When I first got my Utah registration I was blown away I was literally in and out of dmv in 10 minutes. I got my number and didn’t even sit down before my number was called. In Vegas that’s an easy 3-4 hour wait at minimum

[@gmc9753]

They should have a bounty out for these cars. Maybe the state offer $50 to the first person reporting it.

If democrats are so worried about co2 emissions, why not get cars off the road by enforcing registration and insurance laws?

Arrest them, it’s really that simple.

[@MillerMeteor74]

Something similar here in New Jersey- New Jersey requires plates both front and rear. Over the past several years I've been noticing a lot of New Jersey cars with no front plate. I see them nearly every day, and usually more than one. One story I was told was that a lot of used cars have been coming from out of state, states that don't require a front plate, and these cars don't have a plate mount on the front bumper. In recent years I've also been noticing cars driving around with smoked plastic covers over the plates. The only reason I can see for getting those is to make it more difficult for the police to read your plate number while going down the road. Whether that is the reason, I don't know.

[@BenMonares]

First of all, do you learn what’s car culture is? Car enthusiasts don’t usually have they’re front plates on

[@MillerMeteor74]

​@@BenMonares I never heard of that. Car culture or not, front plates are not optional here. But they are getting away with it. I never saw cars without front plates before covid.

[@BenMonares]

@@MillerMeteor74 bro you act like that’s like a bad thing. There’s nothing wrong with it since it didn’t cause anything dangerous

[@MillerMeteor74]

@@BenMonares The first time I mentioned it, I was merely mentioning it because it's something relatively new that's been happening here. I thought that was the end of it. But then you start arguing with me over it. It isn't a big deal, except if a police officer randomly chose to run the rear plate, and discovered there wasn't one in the front. Then there could be trouble. But whatever. It's pointless to keep this going.

Politicians want the illegals to vote. Pulling their cars would discourage them. So the police seem to be limited in the number of cars they do pull over for driving without license plates, driving with stolen plates, driving with false paper plates, etc. Their votes are needed for 2024.

[@tomnastyV2]

This pisses me off more than anything. They better fuckin get on it if I have to pay you have to pay

[@texasrob2782]

You want to know why they don't get stopped? Because there's no money in it! Drivers of unregistered cars don't have money for the fines and end up in court over and over just to make long drawn out payment plans. Try driving 5 mph over in a new corvette or Lambo and BAM!, $250 ticket. They know we will pay it and never go to court. They mostly stop expensive out of state vehicles and rental cars because they know the will not have to send a cop to court. Try renting an exotic car in Vegas, I swear they assign an undercover to follow you.

[@delmarrey9077]

In WA State they issue temporary numbers that are printed out and put in the rear window until the metal plate becomes available. Maybe NV should do the same. Btw how do the people get insurance w/o a license plate #

[@novembercherry4]

The plates don’t come attached to the cars in NV like some other states. The dealer prints out a temporary tag that lasts for 30 days and we have to get the car registered within that time. We have our choice of many license plates to choose from. Since there are so many doggone people moving here, mostly everything is done online now.

[@fredrickriffel5845]

Maybe they are financially strapped. We live in a world of you having a job, and then you're laid off. Then you have tax bills and all your other bills, and then you get sick. Then, there is no job and an economy that expects monthly payments. This payments world isn't working anymore.

[@The1symba]

Anything dealing with a license is commercial. When licensed is when policies apply to that license holder, which includes plates and soforth if talking driving.

[@anthonymartinez4307]

Your state has monopoly the insurance and takes people’s vehicles without permission the moment tags are do. If it’s a public safety issue you wouldn’t sell alcohol because people drink and drive. The high cost to survive and drive created this mess. What can a state do if everyone stops paying insurance and state tags? The extortion games are long over do.

[@SpookyFow]

I got my plates stolen four times in Vegas. I had a shop rivet and glue my plates in place. Haven't had them stolen yet.

[@jeffrosati2570]

That's weird. I've rented cars for almost 40 years from all the major car rental companies, including Enterprise, and never had this problem.

[@mrzorg]

Weird fact most people don't know. Plates are for highway use. If you're not on a highway, you're not really breaking the law without tags... Still insurance is a must. I found this out in the 70's. Here where I live, people just drive around with expired plates, and rarely get stopped.

[@hanskorschinowski1113]

Another problem, all over the state, is people who NOW live here still driving on the states plates they came from

[@jasoncaine2600]

What percentage is that exactly? People travel... this is a tourist place not to mention rental cars. Your problem is really a non issue 🤷‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kens962]

⁠At least rental cars come up when you run the tags. And rental cars are usually in good shape, clean (cars get washed when return/released back out), and have barcodes on the window for scanning when returned. The ones being addressed are the 💩 boxes you don’t want to get hit by or get in an accident with.

Okay, so what? It’s better than not having a license plate at all

[@minirunt]

Alas, the police or county does not care. There a several cars in my neigborhood that are unregisterd, - no plates, expired emporary or California plates. I pointed this to a country, and police. Even to a police in person right by those cars. They did nothing. Many cities are also seeing problems with conterfeigt temporary tags/plates.

[@williamgeardener2509]

In the Netherlands you need a license plate to prove that the car is registered to someone. There's only a few firms that are allowed to make these plates. So false or "cloned" license plates hardly exist. Anyone driving around without license plates will get pulled over and their car will be seized until they have proven the legal owner and that the car is insured.

[@lorenl9262]

Maybe Las Vegas Metro police motorcycles maybe should FOCUS on ticketing these folks instead of useless traffic control!!!!

[@MenoProductions]

If they don't register the vehicle , they don't need to spend on the insurance and that right there is the main reason why this is happening.
