pathfinder is wrong.

BUT if the registration is expired OR the plates don't match the car OR many other things are amiss then they could take the plates. Take illegal immigrants who steal plates to drive around without insurance and without registration (and frequently without a license) - those plates can be seized and returned to the DMV
