You misunderstood my original post. I said, “This is like”. I didn’t say they did that. What I meant with my post was that cops don’t generally pull you over for things that would be legal in other jurisdictions. One plate, tint, bumper height, tires extending outside the fender (legal some places, but not others), snow tires. They’ll get in-state vehicles for those infractions, but will usually leave out-of-state alone, unless in the case of moving violations.

I understood perfectly what you wrote. My point is that it is not ‘like’ since one is about in-state registration and the other is about vehicle operation in the state.
