Hello,
I am currently working in Las Vegas, Nevada. My home and family are in California. The plant in California shut down and I was offered a position at our plant here in Las Vegas. I am still on the payroll and pay my taxes to California.
A cop pulled me over yesterday. He didn't say why, he asked for my license, registration and proof of insurance. My tags were expired but I renewed online so they were sent to my home in California. I told him I was working here. He asked for how long? I told him almost a year. He asked if I lived here and I replied 'yes'. So he gave me a ticket for non-registration and no license in Nevada.
My question: Is he right? Do I have to register my car in Nevada and get a Nevada driver's license. He also said I would have to turn in my California plates.
I am scheduled to appear September 20. There is no bail or any fine entered on the ticket. He said it was handled like a 'fix it' ticket - get it taken care of.
My plan is to appear in court and explain my situation to the judge and let him inform me of what action I am required to take. I'll do whatever I need to do but this sounds way off, considering my home is in California.
Any advice or sharing of similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.
