If you get a letter, I'm sure you'll be able to show the vehicle was registered and insured in TN within days of your LA coverage being dropped.
nope. That's what I thought. It's $128 for not answering the "first letter".

The old phantom first letter trick. Louisiana at its finest right here.

Has any news outlets picked up this scam yet? I don't live in the state, so I have no idea. I have been checking the Nola.com and Baton Rouge advocate websites but have yet to see anything mentioned.

I'm applying logic and reason in my analysis of the situation. I also realize that the LA Legislature and OMV are involved, which makes the issue much more problematic.

However, if you never had a lapse in liability insurance coverage, which I assume to be true in Bottomland Brew's case, you haven't broken the law. If the first letter was sent in error (if it was even sent at all), how can you be held responsible for the fine?

If you moved to a different and registered your vehicle there in a timely manner, you or your insurance company should be able to provide an adequate paper trail. If you sold or junked a vehicle in LA, it may be trickier.
