I was about to point out the lack of stickers. Cops will seldom write you for a front plate in NY unless they are looking for something to write you for. The car appears to have no legal inspection. Even if It had been inspected, the sticker was not on the window, and the sticker must, by law, be attached at the time of inspection by the inspector. There was no registration sticker displayed, which is also illegal. If there is one thing that NYS cops take seriously, it's vehicle registration / inspection. The fact that someone drove the car away indicates that it was paperwork, not an actual registration violation. If the car was not registered, they would not let anyone leave with it. Failure to display documents is not an impound violation. The car could have been impounded for the lack of inspection, but the car does not appear unsafe, so I could see them letting her leave with it, even if it wasn't in order.
Bottom line, dude's a douche. What did he think he was going to accomplish by driving off? I've seen lots of collectors run without their stickers displayed because they "look bad". It's a pretty stupid reason IMO.
