How would they know if you're just a visitor versus long-term resident? What if you're an out-of-state student? I would have fought the ticket.
If you decide you are going to live there, isn't there some kind of grace period?
The NY VAT law implies section 402.1 is applicable only to NY registered vehicle.
§ 402. Distinctive number; form of number plates; trailers.
1. (a) No
person shall operate, drive or park a motor vehicle on the public
highways of this state unless such vehicle shall have a distinctive
number assigned to it by the commissioner and a set of number plates
issued by the commissioner with a number and other identification matter
if any, corresponding to that of the certificate of registration
conspicuously displayed, one on the front and one on the rear of such
vehicle, each securely fastened so as to prevent the same from swinging
and placed, whenever reasonably possible, not higher than forty-eight
inches and not lower than twelve inches from the ground; provided,
however, that in any registration year for which only one number plate
is issued, such number plate shall constitute a set of number plates for
the time in which such use is authorized, shall be displayed on the rear
of the vehicle and none shall be displayed on its front, except in case
of a tractor, when such number plate shall be displayed on the front of
the vehicle and none shall be displayed on its rear.

Thank you. Will save for my knowledge. Would anyone know how long a new resident has to register their vehicle in NY before getting charged late fees/penalties?
Fight the ticket,don't admit to living in the bronx, out of towners can be ticketed for parking and moving violations, but never heard about a license plate...

I would think that this means they have 6 months to get their car registered if they live in NY. Assuming they are new to the state, they can fight it. That officer really tried it. They were probably just trying to reach a quota and knew it wouldn't fly if the person fought it.

this is not correct , you do not have 6 months
You must get your car registered with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NYSDMV) when you move to New York. The car must be registered within 30 days of establishing residency, and you must get New York car insurance before you register the vehicle.
