I know its normal to get asked for license, registration, and proof of insurance. But why ask for the registration? When I register every year, the county sends me a sticker with the plate number and expiration date to stick on the lic plate. The cops van see the plate and date right? Plus I’m sure they run the plate when they pull you over anyway. Seems to me they already know the registration status.

So why do they still ask for the registration paper?

    Hell, I caught a ticket for not carrying my registration on a canoe. They always fuck with me because they assume I’m running a trolling motor without registration, despite the perfectly legal numbers I put on the side.

    “Your license. Where’s your license?” “It’s back there on the bumper, man!”
