In a "somewhat" related matter the Leesburg, Virgina police department would drive around apartment buildings in the middle of the night writing down the license plates of out of state tags.

I lived in Michigan while based in Dulles with Indy and happened to occassionally have a crashpad car with MI plates there. I tried to fight the "personal property tax" and subsequently my wages were garnished without notification. Well, the chief pilot called me in after the wages were being garnished to find out why. Never got that money back.
