Review of Plano Police Department

Received a citation for expired registration right...

Received a citation for expired registration right at Christmas. My registration expired 3 weeks before the citation and I wasn't able to renew it because the DMV website was unable to verify my inspection and I was working to resolve this. I was also working 60-70 hours per week. I explained this to the officer and he shrugged and said "go in and get it dismissed." Of course, once you get a citation you cannot renew online.

Instead of playing with my kids at Christmas after working so much, I went to TWO locations to get this resolved. I have never even had a speeding ticket or any citations at all before. I have always been a huge fan of the Plano PD but a citation for a registration that expired 3 weeks ago, especially after I explained that I was trying to renew but couldn't, is simply ridiculous. Huge waste of everyone's time and my tax dollars...and it is unpleasant living in a city where police officers act like this. Clearly Plano PD is overstaffed if they have time to stop people for a registration that only expired a few weeks ago.
