A, I sympathize with trying to keep a stable full of vehicles registered and inspected
in NC...my jail house lawyer 50Cts: that ticket does not come with "points", but
I can't nail down the typical fine, as it really varies by county/court, etc. The max
for failed emissions/no insp renewal is ~$250, but not really your case.
In some counties it appears that one can "petition" the DA, before the court date,
showing your citation and proof of current renewed registration, and in some
jurisdictions, the DA will do a compliance dismissal; in some couties they will not.
In other counties, it appears one can show up early before your court "time", find
the DA or ADA, show citation and renewal and they may toss it also...
No idea of what Charlotte area will do for you. But, it is fine only, and a few hours
out of that day, for you. I would pass on the lawyer solicitations, imo.
I bet the cop was bored/sharp eyed, as it take some serious vision to spot our
lil' "date sticker" on the rear plate, and even sharper eyes to determine it is of
the current year's "color". I wouldn't sweat it, and I hope you get off, or pay
a slight fine only.
