Fake rego sticker?

[george formby]

Heard a wee story today... A genulmen with dual citizenship, fed up with the unwashed driving unregistered cars, of which there are many round here, scanned his out of date rego, tutued it to bring it upto date & stuck it in his windscreen. He is self employed & owns his home. What are the potential consequences should he get caught, have an accident etc?
Er, it's not me. I like to lie straight in bed at night, the hospital is just next door & every now & again I see a nice bit of tarmac which I may have contributed to.

he'll get bent over and fucked in the ass. first by the "justice" system, then by his new hispanic room mate, named kevin.

i'm guessing they'd do him on various kinds of fraud, using a document to obtain pecuniary advantage, falsifying legal document, failing to display valid evidence of rego, being a cheeky cunt, rorting the system, not paying his dues to society...

pretending to be a legal c*nt is probably worse than saying "ftp yo" and ignoring the c*nts.

Yes, I figured he would be buggered if caught or involved in an accident or when he decides to sell his nice car. Being buggered would probably spoil his holiday options, no? The more I think about it, the greater the buggery. No doubt bugger his business credibility, too. Quick check & fraud pops up. Oops. Buggered again.

oh no, its well worth doing. You just have to know the whyfore.

Look out for a white commy with the confederated tribes flag instead of plates.
(the first/last flag to receive royal assent)

He lives up the road I think.

In all seriousness, on KB terms, this guy is a mate, a smart arse admittedly but... No doubt this is a knee jerk reaction on his part, "if they can, I can" etc.
Fraud is a criminal offence, yeah? Goes on record. He renews his "other" passport, European, it will come up?
In an accident, if somebody is hurt, will ACC chase him to recover costs?

I'm just wondering if the consequences of his actions are worth me having a word in his selective shell like or not. I think it's dumb. A smack on the wrist & a fine is one thing, chastening, but having a serious criminal record something else entirely.

How much does he charge for one with my rego number on it?

depends on his whyfore, and any situ he finds hisself in.

The cops wont tell you, but a crime requires an injured party.

Yes, as the average yob, if shtf, he'll likely be listed as maori. Or undesirable.
Depending how it plays out, it may be a bit of lawyer chortle and laa dee da, but if they decide to make an example of him....

ill do you one for 5 buck and a bag of chips

[awa355]

ill do you one for 5 buck and a bag of chips

So, for 3 regos it will be $15 and 3 bags of chips? Any particular flavour of chips?

It is an offence under the Land Transport (Motor Vehicle Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2011, Clause 85 (1b is moving, 2b is stationary)

And it carries a fine (for an individual) of $100 for a moving offence or $200 for a stationary offence under Schedule 6 of the same regulations

Of course if they try to convict you for it, you would get a penalty of up to $1000. But that would cost them a lot of money in lawyers fees etc obviously so is less likely. They'd have to find you first?

Well, deception is a $1000 fine, thank you. But is it deception or fraud?
Deception could be as simple as obscuring part of the rego. A fake, yeah, deceptive, but where is the line which separates that from fraud? He has deliberately produced a sticker to avoid payment.

Oh, he's very easy to find. Straight as, generally.

then probably not suited to arguing with five 0.
