Ticket says State Police. I'm fairly confident it'll get dismissed, especially if I bring my Brooklyn lease and new registration. It has nothing to do with a bribe or a deal. No infraction was actually committed in the first place, and I have supporting evidence of that.

The State Police ( or Troopers) can cite you anywhere in the state. https://www.troopers.ny.gov/
Some towns or villages have no police force at all; they just rely on the State Police .
You are not in NYC anymore.

The second you changed your address on the driver's license, it became your "primary residence" in the eyes of NY state, regardless of where you spent more time, or if you still had a lease elsewhere. So, according to the law, you had ten days from 7/28 to update your registration.

Interestingly, though, the DMV website states that you can have different addresses for your license and registration. It doesn't elaborate as to when that is possible, but, if you choose to fight this, I would start there.


"Can I have different addresses on my driver license and my vehicle registration?

Yes. The DMV sends documents and important notices to customers by mail. The DMV recommends that you use the same address on all of your applications, documents, and transactions."

Just curious....you either had to go to the DMV or visit the DMV website to change the address on your license. Why wouldn't you have changed the registration address at that time? What would be a reason not to do it at the same time?

The car in question had still been located in Brooklyn up until 11 Aug.

It's it's okay with the NY DMV to have two different addresses, and the actual law doesn't state otherwise (it doesn't), then it's pretty hard for someone to argue that there was any wrongdoing.

The DMV probably allows it for people who have multiple residences--especially if a vehicle is usually kept at the residence that is not on your license.

NY has a requirement that they see your car in person when you change the address on the registration?

Why would I register the car to an address 400 miles away from where the car is located when the NY DMV clearly allows motorists to have different addresses on their registration and license?

Well that certainly may be true, but it appears you had no idea that was the case until I posted the link yesterday. Doesn't explain, really, why you didn't do both at once. But it doesn't matter, I was just curious.

Apparently the cop who issued the ticket had no idea that was the case either.
