I broke a record today with my new LML, and it was everything BUT a fun accomplishment...apologize for the rant/ run-on, I am so heated.
Within 30 hours of buying my LML it got impounded, heres the story: (Note: I am a Wyoming resident, I moved to Boston area a few months ago but hadn't switched over the TAXachusetts because I was not sure how long I was staying and my DL and registration on old truck i sold last week was still current, no more explanation needed)
Purchased the truck yesterday morning (3/30/16) from seller in MA, drove straight to work (In MA) with new truck, signed over clear title, bill of sale, and proof of insurance.
I was told by a Boston officer last week that I was legally allowed to drive the vehicle without plates after purchase for up to 10 days before registering with proper paperwork in vehicle at all times (signed clear title, bill of sale, and proof of insurance) which is also the case for many states, including the state I had planned registering the truck in, BUT...that was not the case according to the Weston, MA cop that pulled me over for no plates, so he says.
Said cop pulls me over and I immediately tell him its a new purchase and I have all required paperwork to be driving vehicle without plates or registration. He looked at me with a blank stare, then told me that was not the case. I explained that I was informed by a Boston officer that that was the "case" so we went back and forth in a polite manner (I was just honestly confused). He then goes back to his car and runs all my info and it all checks out, however while he was in his car he had some fun things prepared for me: $101 citation for driving without registration, and called a tow company to impound the new truck. ($143 towing fee)
So of course Im still baffled since I was following the instructions a Massachusetts officer told me last week, yet I still get f*cked. Not sure who to trust here. Now my truck is sitting in a towing yard and wont be released until its registered or I hire a private towing company to pick up and bring to my house 10 miles away. I had planned on registering the new truck again in Wyoming next week since everything in my name is Wyoming still and you can register by mail and phone with out of state vin inspection since there is no actual vehicle inspection in WY. May have to quickly figure out a NH registration with "residence" at my parents house or actually move there while I'm still alive in the state.
ANYONE HAVE ANY INSIGHT ON THIS??????????? ANY COPS THAT KNOW THE REAL RULES??? At this point I don't know who to trust.
If I am not driving it around this weekend I will be beyond pissed.
