    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    Hate to say it, a "Warning" is something that is stored on an internal database that law enforcement officers have access to. The next you are pulled over, the officer can run your tag, see that you have been "Warned" then they could proceed with issuing a citation based on an incorrect...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    In regards to the Republic, here in Maryland your "Warning" or actual "Citation" is stored in an internal police database for a period of time. That being said, had the trooper given me a warning for the actual violation of hauling a trailer, this would not be an issue. One uneducated or...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    I am aware that I was violating the law hauling a trailer, not the point. Do you speed, thus you break the law. Regardless, there are 1st degree and 2nd degree offenses. Is hauling trailer with historic tags in the State of Maryland a 1st degree or 2nd degree offense. If it is a 2nd degree...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    I have already spoken to who I need to and was informed on what I needed to do to beat the 3 charges, down side, they are only warnings. Should said trooper do it again, I will ask for an actual citation so I can request a hearing. At that point, whether I have a lawyer or not, I can beat all...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    Military contract vehicles are exempt from meeting FVMSS but are required to meet MIL-STD-1180B which takes into consideration FVMSS. Lights, heck, some people with Daytime running lights don't know how to turn on their normal lights. I see it every morning I commute to work. I have offered...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    I've offered to my elected official to get educated, grow a set, lets all go down and educate them. If you are referring to the State Trooper who doesn't know what General Daily Use is versus Occasional Use is then we are all screwed.

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    I don't know how many law enforcement officers I have driven by that have waved, nodded there heads in approval etc in the Communist State of Maryland. I don't know how many countless law enforcement officers I have passed and done nothing but let me pass in peace while driving my M998 in...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    In regards to a court hearing, that would only happen if said Trooper pulls me over gives me the same 3 violations that he warned me for. The Trooper needs to be educated on the differences of General Daily Transportation and limited personal use, which is allowed. The officers in the Maryland...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    AOR, with true respect for all of us in the State, there needs to be a positive change. If we all live under rocks, stuff will never change in our favor. Honestly, if I could afford to move out, I would. I would buy a home in PA, put my truck through their enhanced inspection, and drive my...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    My OP, he is jealous, doesn't have anything better to do. On a 2nd note to the above traffic stop. Just prior to the traffic stop, the said Trooper was in front of my vehicle driving at the legal speed limit, pulled over to the shoulder for me to pass. At which point I pass him legally, for...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    Update, got pulled over by a MSP, issued a warning with 3 violations for pulling an empty trailer in my M998. Not sure if this tropper his a stick up his hind side. What blows my mind is the MSP Barracks in Hagerstown have a HHMWV with a Maryland issued State Tropper tag. If MSP Automotive...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    I'm not actually going to request anything from MDSP. I wouldn't want anything negative to come about. I will on the other hand keep the responses from MDSP in case I have to go to court for doing something I'm not supposed to be doing on Historic tags.

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    I should request a formal letter on their Department Letter Head stating that: The MDSP ASED does not know how to address the ownership of FMVs and allowing exemption from Maryland Safety Inspections, thus allowing owners of FMVs to register them and have MVA issue standard tags versus Historic...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    Sent MD State Police a question. Received a BS blanket statement response. Stating how the HMMWV does not meet the COMAR, the 17 digit VIN, as a buyer you sign a hold harmless agreement, off-road use only. Again all BS. When I brought to their attention actual facts readily found. Their...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    So, currently my M998 is registered and tagged Historic in Maryland. I do take it out on the roads. I just wanted to be legit when hauling or driving the M998 more than 1000 miles a year.

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    When I first registered with Steel Soldiers, I lived in PA. I have since moved to Maryland and lived in MD since 2011. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll correct that. Secondly, I'm not stating that Maryland State Officals told me where to get my M998 inspected. I went to a licensed Maryland...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    I have an M998 that I purchased out of state with a clear on-road title. I have since registered it in the communist state of Maryland (sorry don't mean to offend, but we know how the state is) with Historic tags. It is registered as an AM General Pickup (per the out of state title). I am now...
