Got pulled over for a stolen plate on my car but I didn't put it there. A guy who was supposed to be fixing my car put it on and was driving it while he had it. I wasn't aware when I got car back that it was still on my car. He's not a certified mechanic and I can't even find him to vouch for me in court. What can I do? Don't want to go to jail over a plate. I didn't have a plate on my car at the time because I couldnt get it inspected so they wouldn't renew my registration. But I finally passed inspection and have plates but have to go to court for this stolen plate. Need help.
