Reply to comment by The_rising_sea in Massachusetts RMV drops case against Virginia man who overstayed vacation! by Hoosac_Love

Accountable for what? It wasn’t possible for him to register his car here because he didn’t have proof of residence. According to the law, he should have to do so but it wasn’t even possible.

And the other option they offered him was to sell his car and provide a bill of sale...

Sounds like the dude was all for being accountable, but the RMV didn't give him any real options.

Exactly! If they had just sent me a ticket for $100 for being in the state for 30 days, I would have been confused but definitely just paid it without appealing or anything.

We have so many laws that it’s inevitable for them to contradict each other every now and then
