I received a misuse of plates ticket this morning. I did have insurance on the car,but no proof with me in the vehicle. I have a court date on the 5th of March for misuse of plates and driving an uninsured vehicle. The officer stated that I could easily take care of the uninsured vehicle charge if I just showed them the proof that it was insured in court. I know that this forum is for law enforcement officers and not judges but was wondering if anyone has an idea of what kind of fines I should be expecting here? I read that in Connecticut it could be up to $300 for misuse and or 30 days in jail. Also up to $200 dollars for it being unregistered. He didn't write me up for it being unregistered but I assume that I am still subject to the fine.I will have the car registered and bring registration to the court. I haven't had any tickets in over 3 years but not to sure if that will help me at all here.(I'm 20 years old so I've only been driving for 4). If anyone has any insight I would really appreciate it.
