Re: Vin tags; the actual law; reply to Bob diehl's question

Dear Bob:

That's not your problem.  The analysis is backwards.  The question is, "how 
would the state prove that the car underneath is a different car."  If it were 
a stolen car, information re:  The theft (i.e., The car had a scratch on the 
bumper shaped like the last 100 miles of the Mississippi) would surface.  If it 
were always your car, there is nothing to counter your contention that it is 
your car.  Both the DMV and the State in a prosecution would have to prove 
you're lying, you don't have to prove you're telling the truth.
