Good point, but wrong direction of thinking. When you register your automobile with the state they own it. You are also bound to all their stupid bullshit rules. If there wasn't insurance and the damages people cause by being stupid came right out of their pockets they might not drive so stupid.
People should only have to use a license, registration and insurance when they are engaging in commerce, for example transporting goods (semis) buses, taxis etc
Registering you automobile as a vehicle doesn't give the state that vehicle/automobile. That's not true.
Registering your automobile as a vehicle makes that automobile commercial ready. But by doing so, if you are traveling down the road and you break a law in the transportation code, the officer witnessing that infraction sees your license plate and can then assume you are engaged in transportation, which gives him probable cause to initiate a traffic stop, aka, an arrest.
Do you have your Manufacturer's Statement of Origin to prove ownership? Who do you think does?
Possession of the manufacturers statement (I thought it was certificate) of origin is not how ownership is determined. If it were, the bank that financed the auto would have it for collateral on the debt.
Can vehicle registration be avoided?
Of course. Just don't do it. But you better brush up on the law cause that's a fight in the courts that you aren't going to win without an appeal.
If you know what you're doing, there's alot to learn. Gotta claim your legal name and try to get the Manufacturer's Statement of Origin to prove ownership.
