Actually this is false, They CANNOT cite you when the car is off because then the car would be considered to be in a non-operational condition. That would be like getting arrested for thinking about committing the crime before it actually took place.

You could fight this in court (AND WIN) if you were cited and wanted to take it that far. I have taken less things to court and won. If the car is standing still and in a non-operational state, they CANNOT cite you for anything. NOT even expired tags, they would have to wait until you got in the car, started it and then moved the car AT LEAST 3 inches from the postion it was parked.
Most people don't know things like this, but MOST FEDERAL laws concerning motor vehicles is approached with the 3" rule. Such as if an officer observes that you are not wearing a sealtbelt, he has to PHYSICALLY observe the car move at least 3" inches before trying to cite you. I learned this one by taking this same EXACT thing to court...I started my car (from a Walmart parking lot), put it in reverse, rolled back maybe an inch or 2 and then stopped to put my seat belt on. I didnt even get the rear end of my car out of the parking space and he blocked me in and cited me for not wearing a seat belt. When he gave me the copy of the citation, I asked that he put his badge number on it. This ENSURES that you have the right officer, as it is ILLEGAL for them to provide citizens with false information...even though it happens.

Maybe true where you are, but here we can get cited for having a car on our own property that either has no tags or expired tags. You will receive a ticket in the mail for not registering your car and also for not having it inspected. These are cars that you may not even be driving. This state keeps tabs on who has what, where and when.

what about those places with rusted out non mobile early 60's cars. you're telling me that they have to pay registration on every vehicle whether it's used or not? i have a hard time swallowing that.

I think its different if they are non operational, junked or scrapped, I know I was reffering to residential areas.

Once a car is junked, it is technically supposed to go to scrap. This is not just residential areas though, this is a computer automated system that prints you a ticket if you don't register or inspect your car. I got a "fix-it ticket" this year from the state because I did not have my car inspected yet. I do not have to go to court, I just had to have the inspection station sign my paper and when my case does go to court, the officer will drop it as it was fixed. This state is funky and has some of the strangest rules I've heard of.
You don't really drive down the streets here and see many cars just sitting in people's front yards or in their driveways unused.
