    They’ll probably still have to pay the tax, otherwise someone’s books are not gonna check out. And then the man is gonna come for you.

      Most states will verify taxes have been paid when a vehicle is titled in the state. Without a Title, you can’t get plates.

      I was pulled over for a private plate

      So they likely haven’t titled their car in any state, and haven’t paid sales tax. Yeah, the judge is going to have a field day with this and our protagonist is going to be looking at a much much larger problem than they have now. Its one thing to run afoul of the laws. When you mess with the state’s money, they get REALLY pissed off.

      Exactly! A vindictive fantasist can make so many people’s lives miserable without repercussions, but not the tax man OR the student loan man. They will find you.
