ot: die bureaucrats, die!

 I was victim of theft "pocket picking" last saturday. Some bastard
took advantage on a crowded street and picked my wallet with my
drivers license, my wife's motorcycle registration (registered in
other state), a couple of credit cards  and less than 5USD in cash. To
get new credit cards, all I had was to log into the internet banking
website. Driver license was easy, just log into "DMV"(*) website,
print the invoice and they should mail it by the end of the week, easy
as it could be. Now, the registration... I have to drive 650km with no
registration in order to the (other state) "DMV" do an "inspection" on
the bike. Problem is, legally, I can't drive 1 meter, let alone 650km,
without the registration. They don't know how should I proceed. I
called my local "DMV" and they said that I only needed inspection if I
was to transfer it from the other state to this, it isn't necessary if
I am just asking for a copy of the registration, if it was here, all I
had to do was to pay the invoice for the new copy and wait a couple
days. The other state, however, has a requirement of inspection that
can't be fulfilled. If I try riding 650km just for they to look if I
have mirrors and blinkers, I can end up having my (hers...) bike
seized if a cop pull me over. Damn, you bureaucrats who seems to not
have a functioning brain, die you all. You know what'll happen? We are
already in november. Next january registration expires and I have to
do another one. I will ride two months with no registration and try
not getting pulled over by cops, in two months I will have a new
registration and everything will be back to normal.

thanks for letting me vent,
yours truly,
Tiago

Next time, keep the original somewhere safe and carry a photocopy?

copies are not allowed.

did you know it is required that our license plates to be securely
attached to the vehicle body using a security unbreakable seal? I
guess this is the only country in the world with this requirement.

I suspected, seemed too obvious--that's why I used a "?"

Did not know that. Finally, stupid bureaucracy that outdoes California...
