You don't pay your insurance they'll pull your tag - well, depending on how long it takes before you're stopped and they run your tag.
That's the one I see - alerting on insurance pulled tags.

That is true Pete, however, vehicle registration, vehicle taxes and vehicle inspection are three seperate transactions here in NC. It was only a few years ago that they tied your vehicle registration to paying your vehicle taxes. What I foresee with this is the confiscation or towing of vehicles in parking lots when they have been identified as delinquent tax vehicles. Currently, a NC LEO cannot stop a vehicle with an expired registration unless it is being operated on a roadway. Even if it is identified as a delinquent tax vehicle, we don't write tickets for civil infractions. If a warrant has been issued, that is another matter, but I see this as a way to get around obtaining a warrant for civil disobedience.
