Don’t let a Mistake Lead to a Criminal Record!
Arrested or Summonsed in Massachusetts for Operating an Unregistered Vehicle?
A guilty finding in Massachusetts on a charge of operating an unregistered vehicle carries with it the penalties or a license suspension for 60 days, as well as significant insurance penalty and other potential costs. For a second offense charge, they will suspend your license for a year.
It quite common to have an unregistered vehicle by a simple mistake in failing to update your registration, or a lost piece of mail or incorrect address. If you are a person who never imagined in a million years that they would be facing a criminal charge in court, you need an experienced attorney to help you work through this mess and keep your record clean. There are a number of legal options available that we can employ to get the charges dismissed or voided entirely at a clerk’s/show cause hearing.
You may not know that, if you transfer a registration after buying a new car, the registration date doesn’t change! And you may not be notified of the expiration.
So you could easily register your new vehicle, and then have it expire the next month! Unfortunately, this happens all the time and is an insane loophole in the Mass Registry’s system.
