The road is narrow.

No, it was a late model Toyota.

current plates more likely to be insured
I am not for longer lines at the border, but I am for licensed vehicles with valid registrations. Less stolen vehicles being used and more likely to
have insurance.
For Sentri lanes they certainly can reject you if either plates or insurance are not in effect. These are both checked when you apply and obtain the
sticker for the window.

Ill bet the wait will be shorter, not longer. Less people with bad tags will even try. And by the time you get to up the booth, your front and back
license plates are already scanned and entered. All they need to see is the sticker color for the most part anyways. With current tags- I doubt they
will ask for the matching registration.

I doubt they'll have lasting interest in doing DMV work anyway.
What's next? They write you a ticket?

That was sort of my point to begin with. get a ticket and go to Federal Court? It just seems to me that the world is going mad when it comes to
spying, snooping and generally keeping tabs on everyone's business. The guys at the border have a difficult job, and their mission is fundamentally to
keep the wrong people, the bad people out. Why be diverting resources to assist a state DMV?

bajawood:
the border guys already run license plates as part of the entry inspection (that's what those cameras are doing just before you enter booth area). i
think they should check license status and reject expired tags from entry. expired tags is a good indicator of bad people (it's almost a given that
an expired tag on a car is an uninsured car or driven by an uninsured driver).
what they also should also do is catch tax cheats who register their cars out of state to avoid motor vehicle fees. if passport record shows one
address and vehicle registration is different address, then send them to secondary and let IRS and local authorities sort it out.
we have a deficit, caused by necessary steps of the great Obama to save us from GWB's econ meltdown and GWB's transfer of citizen home equitty to wall
st bankers, so catching tax dodgers is good for the country

And while they're at it maybe they can check for outstanding parking tickets? Or, since there's so much time spent in line, they can do cholesterol
screening.

For what it is worth. I just got back from SENTRI office today. I finally replaced a cracked windshield and needed to get the new sticker. I asked the
agent why you have to replace a cracked windshield and he gave me that 'are you ffing kidding me' look and said "becuase it is violation of the law to
operate your vehicle with a cracked windshield". I mentioned the fact that I had been thru SENTRI crossing several times with no problem and he said
the agent(s) either did not notice crack or used his or her own discretion on matter. He said it is just a matter of when, not if, you get pulled into
secondary and have sticker removed for cracked windshield.

That's Homeland Security keeping America safe from the likes of you and your cracked windshield.
It all gives me this warm, protected feeling.

I think there are more "Import" cheats than anything else. It is so hard and expensive to get a US car imported and the Mexico plates that most people
don't do it. They just take them down and drive them. Why not? That's what needs-based mordias are for, the people don't mind paying the cop, the
cop needs the money and they both come out ahead financially- until they get in a an accident.

where they scraped off the sticker after waiting about 1/2 hour. I had to get a new windshield and go to Otay for another sticker.

They must not like you. I've had a foot-long horizontal crack in my windshield on the passenger side for two years and no one has said a thing.
Now I'm jinxed...

God bless Momeland Security who makes the rules for Sentri and NEXUs and the "trusted travelers" who utilize those lanes. CBP makes the rules for the
regular lanes

About two weeks ago on the way down through San Ysidro, the customs or cops(i cant be sure) stopped me before i crossed and asked me about 20
questions, one which was "why" I would want to go to Mexico. I answered them all, but later thought about the fact I could really have said "Nunya
business!" Weird, i guess you cant flee the country as easily these days.

window...the real problem is not with the crack
it's the fact that the crack will weaken the windscreen.
this means it WILL shatter with little warning
not good when you're driving on a freeway at 70mph...
and while the window won't actually break
it’ll shatter
it’ll mean that you won't actually be able to see where you're driving
i hope you’re not next to me when that happens
Solution: buy a new car…support the economy
when you drive across the border the technology is in place to "flag" you plates...
weather they use it or not is up to "them" your "big brother"
it isn't thay bad
there are many more ways people collect data on you anyway
anyone have a "grocery store club card" ????
