Minnow, Just be careful. In NC, many years ago, I once was stopped at a roadside license check. Police noticed my sticker was expired. I told him it was sitting on my desk at home ( I was about an hour from home ) and showed him where it had been paid for. Mind you this guy was a real Butthead. He said I'm not going to charge you with not being registered, I'm charging you with not displaying the sticker/registration!
I checked and it was a legit charge although not used much. No driver or insurance points. Not worth taking a day off work and taking my chances with the Judge so I just paid it. So you may want to visit DMV...
