Ultimately it was my fault but let me explain. When my wife got her warning I went the next day for her to renew her registration, The car is only in her name but the insurance is in both and I couldn't find the old registration so they wouldn't let me renew it but while on this process and me saying "That's why I renewed for 2 years online" they looked up my vehicle to see if both of us were on it and should have clearly seen my registration expired also in August and let me know.
I was literally 2 blocks from the registry when I got pulled over and immediately went and renewed for 2 years, I plead not guilty to the ticket with above and a picture showing the registration being paid 15min after the ticket time and asked them to throw the ticket out to avoid wasting everyones time. We will see what happens.

I mean, good luck, but I will be surprised if they do. A friend of mine got a ticket for running a red light (or something of that sort, can't remember) and the cop wrote the details of his car down wrong. He tried to argue that in court that if the officer couldn't get the details right then how was the ticket valid. He ended up getting an even bigger fine which I have never heard of. Not being reduced sure but increasing? Some people are just out for a power trip.
