Hypothetically, yes. However, the cop has to ascertain your intentions. At the time of the infraction, you may have fully intended to transfer the old plates but changed your mind at some point after you take the plates off. Then, you are no longer bound by your intentions as the plates aren't on the car anymore. Just sloppy drafting that gets under my skin more than anything and way more pedantic than necessary. But I am getting paid by the hour to be an internet lawyer, right?
