Arizona MVD Department of Motor Vehicles, DMV, ADOT, Arizona Department of Transportation Government out of control, no title transfer without registration, no plate refund without declaring that you don't own the vehicle anymore Mesa Arizona

The  Arizona  MVD  constantly  tries  to  find  ways  how  to  increase  the  revenue:  Recently  they  started  to  refuse  to  transfer  a  title  (which  simply  shows  that  someone  owns  a  vehicle)  without  paying  for  a  registration.

I  have  several  collectors  vehicles  which  I  purchased  in  different  states.   These  vehicles  are  not  driven,  they  simply  stand  in  my  garage  and  I  bought  them  as  collectors  items,  not  for  the  purpose  of  using  them  on  public  streets,  roads  or  highways.

I  believe  that  I  have  a  constitutional  right  to  document  that  these  vehicles  belong  to  me,  but  ADOT /  MVD  would  not  transfer  the  titles  into  my  name  without  paying  for  a one  year   registration.   Obviously  they  feel  that  nobody  is  entitled  to  own  a  vehicle  kept  in  a  garage  without  registering  it  for  the  use  on  public  roads.   

ADOT   does  not  even  offer  to  deregister  a  vehicle.  The only  option is  to  submit  a  "sold notice",  certifying that  you  don't  own  the  vehicle  anymore.   This  is  total  nonsense  as  well  as  their  practice  to  change  the  "Date  of  First  Registration"   if  a vehicle  is  bought  in  another  state.   I  had  a  motorcycle  which  was  built  in  April 2004,  first  registered  in  New  York  in  December  2004.   After  transferring  the  title  into  my  name  I  saw  that  ADOT   changed  the  date  of  the  First  Registration  from  December 2004  to  December  2003.   I  told  them that  this  wasn't  correct  and  not  possible  since  the  bike  did  not  even  exist  in  December  2003.   

ADOT's    explanation:  "  This  is  how  we  do  it  in  Arizona".   I  believe  that  they  are  a  bunch  of  morons,  probably  they  would  also  change  the  date  of  birth  of  someone  moving  from  New  York  to  Arizona  when  they  issue  a  new  drivers  license.
