I got a citation for Displayed Fictitious Number Plate in Colorado. (42-3-121 (1) (b).
I was driving my car that I had purchased from a lady that I work with. She left the tags on there and told me I could keep them. Now the care was registered, just not in my name. Is this correct? Should I have been charged with this? The officer took my plates at the scene, and I had to have my car towed. I got it registered today, in my name. I have to go to court because of this. If the charge is correct, what can happen to me when I go to court??
Is there any advice to lessen the charge, or fight it?
If there is anyone that might have advice for me, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks!!!

Well, if everything you are saying is accurate, I would have the woman you bought the car from go to court with you.
BUT
Personally, I think the woman may have filed a complaint that you were driving with her plates. That is why they were seized. She may have said to keep them--thinking you would drive the weekend and then get them transferred to your name. How long did you drive on her plates? A month? 2 months?

You have at least 30 Days to register the vehicle in your name afterwhich, you go to court and show proof that you have now registered the car in your name and the judge will "write it off" (like a fix-it ticket). Either way, you have already been inconvenienced, but can't get compensation even if your right. You will end up with the same result... right or wrong. (ticket written off)

The plates nevertheless belong to the lady which you acquire the motor vehicle from. Regardless on no count if she stated you have them or no longer the they're technically state property and have been issued to her. once you pass to court docket you will likely purely receive a superb.

I don't know about Colorado, but here in Illinois, the plates stay with the previous owner. You cannot transfer plates from one owner to another.

First you shouldn't have admitted you bought the car.Now that shows that yes I should have transferred the tags before driving.Should have told them just taking it for a test drive.Just a smal fine here in VA.They could have popped you with no insurance unless you put it under your plan before you bought it???
