I do not have insurance. I got pulled over the cops would like to see my insurance within the next five days. I have an insurance card but there is an expiration date on it. Could i possible change this date on a computer, then give it to them?? or do they double check to make sure you actually have insurance??

They check with the insurance company when you bring it in.

Sure you can, but then you're looking at additional charges.
See, in PA, and most states, the insurance company "upload" data to the dmv every night, including which cars (by vin number) have insurance, which were cancelled, which were added. So they KNOW that you don't have insurance, they knew that when they pulled you over and ran your plate.
People stopped, with insurance, that can't find the insurance card, do NOT have the problem you had, because when the plate is run, it comes up "insured".
So by producing a "fake document", you're compounding the driving uninsured, with a forgery crime - which WILL get you jail time.
They WILL run your plate, they DO see which dates THAT policy was active, and when it cancelled - and they will know you forged the insurance card.

You REALLY want to screw yourself I see. Yes, they can and will verify the coverage. That will get you arrested on a felony charge of insurance fraud and possibly perverting the course of justice or obstructing justice. I hear that the prisons are much nicer these days than they used to be.
Take the hit for no insurance. It's the least painful way by far.

The insurance card simply indicates to the police your policy number -- this number is then looked up via computer to confirm your coverage. So no, changing the information on the card won't get you anything but fraud charges.

If they suspect that your insurance card is bogus, they will call your insurance company for verification and they may charge you with obstruction or giving false information, in which case you are better off paying the fine.

there is not any such ingredient as fake coverage. What each and every person is doing is forging information as a manner to faux they have coverage. it particularly is a criminal act. in case you have the capacity to fool the licence bureau, then have an twist of destiny on the way abode, you come across immediately how plenty complication you're in, and how many circumstances greater costly it particularly is to pay damages out of pocket rather of procuring for coverage in the 1st place.

this is called fraud.look it up,i dont think it is a misdomeanor,so off to jail you go. if that is not enough,than think of the possibility you will never get insurance again,and if that is not enough,dont pick up the soap.

If you want to get slapped with a fraud charge then by all means do it. If not, go and get your insurance legally.
Man, the nerve of some people I swear.
