Best Answer

Vehicle registrations are simply a state tax to use the roads in that state. Police, Fire, water department, schools, and any other municipally owned vehicle is registration exempt. Meaning, the state does not tax itself. As for unmarked police cars. The registration tag may look the same as the one on your POV, but the registration fee was not actually paid to DMV by the department which owns the car.

Even if you do, most states have laws that exempt emergency vehicles from such laws, ie police cars, fire trucks.
