Reply to comment by jimx117 in Massachusetts RMV drops case against Virginia man who overstayed vacation! by LoanWolf888

It should take more than an "anonymous tip" from an annoyed neighbor to set such a process in motion. And it should be easy to dismiss such a claim online by showing proof of out of state residency.

I have no problem with that "anonymous tip" setting things in motion (though the neighbor was absolutely a nosy asshole to do it). The problem is that "things in motion" should have immediately stopped being in motion after the RMV called the guy, and he said he wasn't in MA anymore. Okay, thanks for your time, closed case.

Well you should probably have to prove your residency somehow or else the idea of thwarting tax/insurance cheats would be pretty easily defeated by lying to the person on the phone.
