On a side note, if you do go the court route and win could you sue in small claims court for time lost from work and associated expenses?

Things could be worse. I just watched a YouTube vid yesterday where a young mother was detained for 45 minutes by TSA because she didn’t want her bottled breast milk ran through the X-ray machine. I immediately thought of the thread about the poor old gubment workers going without pay. Those particular ones needed a good azz kicking.

Sucks, but good grief, "Go to court out of principle"?
I wouldn't spend time going to court if it was $100. Your time is worth more than $20. What exactly are those of you suggesting that thinking it's going to accomplish? Showing them you won't be pushed around? No one will know, remember, etc. and nothing will change.
Just chalk it up to garbage government and don't make a bad situation worse.

You did not break any law, you had clearly paid for new registration regardless what any system malfunctions might be saying.
There are not many things that pizz me off like the DMV

Governments suck at running things. Newsflash. That's been the case since the dawn of time.

Seems like the trooper was inexperienced or not real bright. I have come across this issue a few times in my career and will make the stop and see the sticker. I usually explain the reason for the stop and then let em go on their way. When there is any question whatsoever, the benefit of the doubt should always fall in favor of the violator....not the state. I saw a lot of hardcore tactics in new and super gung-ho guys but this is ridiculous. There should be a complaint number listed on the bottom of the ticket. I wouldn't want the guy to get in trouble but his Sergeant should know and address this.
