“Dear PoPville,
Bringing this thread back, mostly just to warn people that I think there is some sort of scam going on with temporary license plates and want to make people aware.
The situation I emailed you about earlier this year is still unresolved (Appeals Board says I’m still liable because I didn’t provide evidence that I “properly disposed of the tags, returned the tags to the dealer, or canceled the tags with the DMV” despite them being TEMPORARY TAGS) and I just logged into the DC DMV website to find that yet another ticket was issued with those exact same tags.
That leads me to believe that there is some sort of scam going, where people are replicating legit temporary tags and slapping them on vehicles. I am having a hell of a time getting anyone to give a shit but if anyone else is going through a similar ordeal, that may be helpful in escalating it to the Mayor’s Office.”
