UPDATE AGAIN:
I went to the sub station in north collins. A sherriff showed up and I told him what happened, showed him my OLD and NEW reg and showed him the typo.
these were his direct words:
“well you can see right here that it was a dmv mistake, why on earth would the officer still impound your bike?”
me-“that’s what I said”
officer-“man, if I were you i’d have a pretty bad taste in my mouth, that cop was a real jerk”
me-“thanks for understanding lets go get my bike”
So we go down to the impound $152 later, and NO PLATE. The officer took my plate.
the officer who came with me goes,
“I can’t believe they took your plate, i’ll get on the phone and try and find it”
It turns out it’s at the sub station but there is no one there and the place is locked.
The cop even goes to me- “if I was working that scene, i woulda told you guys to have a nice night, what the officer did was went by the book, hell, i woulda looked the other way on the inspection tickets”
I plan on picking my plate up tomorrow and I also PLAN on having BOTH tickets waived. As for the DMV refunding my impound fees…HAHA you guys make me laugh
Totally agree that the cop was really bending you over. It’s going to be hard to dutch the inspection sticker, that one is on you. Good for you though, looks like karma actually works.
