I think I posted about it this before - I got pulled over for expired registration when I was trying to reset the CEL on my 993 so I could get it smogged. After I explained the whole Smog, CEL, no more referee debacle, he said, "With tags so long expired I am supposed to impound the car. That's why I had you pull off on the onramp. But I understand what you are trying to do so I will let you go with a fix it ticket. Have a nice day."
It's amazing what being calm, polite, reasonable, and without animus towards a peace officer can do. I have similarly talked a +20 speeding violation in podunk-ville Nebraska into a warning.
YMMV
