When police run your plates they can see if your registration is valid on their laptop, but they can't see inspection status. Register and wait to inspect. You're not gonna get caught if you do it that way.

You will absolutely get pulled over for no/expired inspection.

You absolutely CAN be. However, since the only way for them to tell is by noticing your sticker color from a distance... Odds are you won't be. Usually it's noticed by the officer after he stops you for something else. (assuming your shitbox isn't pouring smoke or something)

You absolutely will, but how long it takes and how smart you are about driving will determine when. I went 10 months without my car being inspected because I only drove at night. A former coworker of mine has been rocking a 2019 inspection sticker on his car as of this past March and had only been pulled over because of it once.

If you don't get pulled over anyway lol... If you get pulled over, you will be. Suppose to get it inspected within 10 days of registering it

My buddy refuses to inspect on a moral basis lol. Say what you will but he did the math and over a period of 3 years he only got one citation and paid less than the cost of 3 inspections. He also told me a story of a cop letting him off free for it because the cop thought the law was unjust.

Hopefully he doesn’t kill anyone because he drives a shit box that won’t pass inspection. Move down south if you can’t afford a $40 sticker

Unsafe cars can pass NH inspection and safe cars can fail. It's not always cut and dried.

Inspection (by which I mean the State-mandated inspection of private vehicles) is nothing more than a racket for the State and some mechanic cronies.

I agree school buses shouldn’t be inspected either and we shouldn’t do background checks on the drivers. Safety inspections makes sense emissions is a crock of shit

No, the State requiring us to have our own vehicles inspected is also a crock of shit. Driving a shitbox without knowing how to maintain control of it is dangerous to, you guessed it, the driver. School buses, and background-checks of the drivers thereof, are a non sequitur in multiple ways.
