What are the ticket fees for expired plates in Washington state?

Answer 1

I got one for expired plates (2 months expired) I got the ticket on 1/17/2009 and it was for $216….. :\ crossing the i90

The officer was very suspicious of me, and really looked into the car. Shone his light into the glove box, when I was getting the registration. Stuck his head in when I opened the window to smell my breath. Noticed my girlfriends drivers license in my wallet (as I was carrying it for her, and she was with me)

He went back to his car for 15 min, came back with the ticket. I asked him if he would give me a warning, since I really had no idea they were expired (my first time owning a car). He said he wouldn't since it was too far out (2 months) and it wouldn't be fair to others who he gave tickets to.

I think he could have been nicer, I felt like a criminal. It is just expired plates, take it easy police dude..

I am a working professional, doing my masters…. There are many more bad guys out there you, can save that kind of treatment for them.

I think traffic cops are the ones with egos, and were undermined when they were young, and they try to get back at those that made fun of them during their adolescence. Cops here(USA) need to have more discretion, and treat civilians like humans. They are here to serve the tax abiding citizens, and provide a service to them. Not ruin their nights.

When I was leaving someone stopped to ask for directions, and he told them to wait, but before he went to help them, he checked their plates through the radio.. He was one sick suspicious puppy…

He marked mine as a moving violation, so I think I might be able to get it written off (this is just wishfull thinking since expired plates are a non-moving violation

Answer 2

I just got one the other day. It's $217.00... at least in Redmond.
