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.
