Judge Shuts Down “Right to Travel” Argument Over Expired Plate

A defendant challenges an expired registration citation by arguing that Michigan vehicle laws do not apply to ordinary personal travel. The judge carefully addresses the “right to travel” argument and explains why Michigan law still requires a valid registration plate for vehicles operated on public roads. After hearing both sides, the judge denies the motion to dismiss. Later, the officer discovers that she had mistaken the plate information, but the court still finds the defendant responsible and reduces the fine from $110 to $90.
