Sorry, not a cops job to 'escort her home'. Registration renewals are the responsibility of the motor vehicle owner/operator. Enforcing laws is the responsibility of the police (hence the term law ENFORCEMENT).
My sympathy lies with the cop, who was doing his job. I might be more sympathetic if her reg. was a day expired and she was on her way TO renew it, but I have no sympathy for your friend.

When you take your driver's education classes when you first get your license, you are educated on the fact that it is your duty to know and understand the law. It is also your duty to make sure the vehicle you are driving is up to code at all times. What is not, is that it is not the duty of a police officer is to babysit your friend. And if the cop had not stopped her, she still would have driven home by herself, without an escort, right? Why do you feel she deserved an escort? Why was she out in the snow storm in the first place? What increased hazard did he place her in with an expired registration? Not like that affects the safe operation of the vehicle. Right? It always ends up being the cops fault that someone breaks the law and gets caught, I'm so sick and tired of people like you who complain like it's the cops fault, like he was there before she left and said "hey, why don't you take your kids for a drive in the bad weather, and while your at it, why don't you drive a car with expired registration?" See where I going with all of this?

First of all, there are laws, and driving without a license, or registration is illegal. Anyone who does so without considering the consequences, deserve what they get.
In many states, if the license is expired, the vehicle, unless there is a licensed driver in it, is towed and impounded. She could have gotten of worse for her own actions.
People have to be responsible for their actions, good or bad. In her case, she made poor choices and it caught up with her. No different for people who drink and drive, or commit other crimes.

you recognize what, she is the butt head. She is a discern. area of parenting is placing an occasion. once you rigidity you're in consequence agreeing to rigidity in accordance to the regulation. If the regulation calls for registration be modern, then you definitely ought to comply. it rather is not any longer the police officers fault that she did no longer renew it. It her grown up accountability to be sure her affairs are so as. If she is grown up sufficient to have little ones, she is the right age to guard her very own enterprise. there is not any excuse. And the adverse me, i'm a single mom of three BS gets previous genuine rapid. There are loads of single mothers that shelter their enterprise responsibly and don't take a seat there whining and on a pity kick watching for others to guard them. As for the regulation and if she would be in extra advantageous subject. i wish so. She became ordered to no longer rigidity the automobile. She did no longer obey the command. She merits despite she gets and who cares what this is named.

In case you haven't noticed, it's a police officer's job to enforce laws. Your "friend" was in violation of more than one of those laws, as the officer otherwise wouldn't have had cause to pull her over. Is there anything that can be done about a cold-hearted woman who exposes her children to her illegal behavior?
It's her registration and therefore her responsibility to keep it up to date. There is no such thing as unknowingly driving an unregistered vehicle. She knew she was driving it. For doing so, they can probably suspend her license.
