It’s not. If you use out of state property in a state that has a use tax, you need to pay a use tax on it. I do this as part of my job.

He has a history with going to court with TN over some bullshite charges they tried to levy against him and he won. They tried to bully him and he didn't back down and even made videos with millions of views showing how they tried to bully him. They didn't warn him to give him a chance to work it out because they wanted the perp walk of him.
Facts. This has more to do with a personal vendetta than the state wants to admit.

What constitutes “use” though? If he was just using it for day to day purposes?? Or is his “use” for essentially his business (his YouTube channel) the kicker here?

WD says he had accountant and paid monthly to multiple tax agencies.
Said the worst part of the arrest was having to walk his entire mile long driveway in cuffs.

It probably never touched the ground in Montana after he bought it.

His personal use or his business use. If the item is used in Tennessee more than in Montana (was, and likely never in Montana), then he owes use taxes on the item.

He would have owed sales tax if he bought it in Tennessee, so that’s why use taxes exist.

Got it. And I’m guessing they are depending on neighbors to rat on each other when it comes to general personal use.

Well until they put in camera systems they have in CO where they’ll just show up at front doors using the police state.

Finding creative ways to avoid taxes is an American past time. Just like the govt keeps finding ways to control us via surveillance via zero privacy.

Shouldn't be that way because taxes should be 1/2 what they are. Too much govt at every level.

Plate readers exist basically everywhere now.

Watch the video from the GA officer in my OP. That's one way they got the owners in GA.

Assuming he intentionally got arrested for this for the clicks, $39k in the grand scheme of his revenue is pennies and he would have as said already been notified multiple times before the police just showed up.
