They recognized you were driving with expired plates and nailed you. Did they get your for no insurance as well as the DUI?

Well, the auto was impounded ....
kiss that one good bye

I've been avoiding using the old bimmer ....
smartest move so far

.... I've posted the certified copy of the bill of sale, designed my own plate that reads not in commerce between the upper two plate srews, three inch letters not4hire, and pri- property-vate across the bottom.
and this will accomplish what other than notifying any cop who is not brain dead that here is a fresh batch of tickets to hand out and a vehicle to impound

Oh, I also, made a certified copy of preceding bill of sale to keep in glove box.
and when they run the VIN it will come up not in your name and they can then haul you off for suspicion of having a stolen vehicle on top of no license or registration, really good move there

I think I should be ok cause checking the VIN online doesn't pull up anything with SOS and my niece, who was originally given the car was using illegitimate plates from another vehicle. It had been sitting on the street by my brothers over a year I suspect.

Now, to the point, Illinois has the attached online faxable form. Your state may have them easily obtainable too. I'm going to have my niece fill it out for junker or sold tomorrow and send in on bmw title,since it's lost somewhere. Going downtown to pic up the certificate of search to file with the county with the bill of sale and declaration of private conveyance.

I'm wondering, if when I do the suv I should fax the other docs to the state police with the revocation form.
it will certainly make it easier for them to pick you up

Is it mandatory to give notice before filing with the county clerks? I would think not, when exercising one's right.
what, give notice that you are intending to break the law, sound legal thinking there

Illinois, like every other state, has laws that require that ALL vehicles that are used on the public roads, for whatever purpose, be registered, licensed, and insured, and that the operators thereof be licensed as well. To claim that they do not, or that those laws do not apply to you is the height of hubris, self delusion, and self destruction. All that is going to happen is that your new vehicle will end up getting impounded like your old one, as will you for not having license and insurance.
