idk i'm not sure how a lawyer is going to help if he knew his registration was expired. he can't lie to the judge and claim ignorance, because he'd be in bigger trouble than just paying the fine
so i got my left side view mirror swiped off and i had to drive with one duct taped for like a week until i could get an appointment at the body shop. i mean if i had gotten stopped i would just called the shop and asked them to confirm that i had an appointment to get it fixed
