They will have to pay the fees when they finally get their tags, or when they buy their next car. Often, many crappy dealerships lose titles or paperwork and it can take them more than a month to get it sorted out. It’s a waste of time for a police officer in a busy municipality to stop people for that sorta thing exclusively.If we just look at the numbers (at least what few I could find) I found 2 numbers: 1169, and 2000.1169 is the number of uniformed officers employed by the City of OKC, to enforce the laws of the roughly 700sq miles that OCPD is charged with patrolling 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This includes Field training officers, supervisors, UC, CSI, regular beat cops, traffic cops, etc. I’m willing to bet that when it comes down to it, there’s a max of 250 cops on duty at any one given day. 2000 is the number of 911 calls a day that OCPD/OCFD was receiving in 2009, according to an article in the Oklahoman. This doesn’t include non emergency calls or routine police work, like traffic stops or helping someone observed on the side of the road. Since 2009 OKC’s population has grown 20%.Just by looking at the numbers, I think it’s safe to say that they don’t have the time to pull people over for not going to the tag agency.</blockquote>
