Robert,

I believe part of the problem is that it is a FEDERAL OFFENSE to tamper with a legally issued out of state title. California laws cannot supercede FEDERAL LAW. If you believe this to be untrue, then with that same belief you risk the loss of Federal dollars that flow into your state for complying with FEDERAL laws. No matter how you word it, no matter how you attempt to enact new laws to "get your way", there is no circumventing the FEDERAL statute.

Now, with that said, if a legal full time resident of your state attempts to title a vehicle in one of the states above, then yes, you can legally intercept said title/vehicle. If however a legal resident of your state purchases a legally titled used vehicle from out of state and brings it into your state, then you and your state government must comply with the FEDERAL statute, on this it is clearly black and white. You need to ask yourself and your fellow California based lawmakers if they are willing to go to court for stopping the legal transfer of goods from one state to another. If so, would the backlash once it becomes known to other states in which you export goods and services become enough to bankrupt your state? Sounds a bit extreme and overboard, but it does make you sit back and think about it from the other side of the equation.


Here is wishing you well.


Sincerely,

Bill S.
