<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

*The setup* Last year I got sick of the astronomical gas costs in my lifted 4Runner with mud terrains, so I sold it to another guy and bought an Acura from a bordering state. When we were negotiating, I asked if there was a valid state inspection sticker on the vehicle and to my surprise, there was! Anyhow, it expired in a few months and I said 'Oh well, I'll deal with it later.'

Fast forward a few months, and no surprise, the sticker comes due. Again, I said 'Oh well, I'll deal with it later.'

Now we come to the present day, February 2015. I'm driving back to work from the bank, and a cop is sitting in one of the mall driveways laying in wait for some other random derp, or so I thought. Nope, he pulls out behind me tails me for a bit, then pulls me over after the next intersection.

"How you doing today, sir? I'm pulling you over because you passed me back there and I saw your inspection was due in **August of last year.** Is there any reason for that?"

My face must have just went slack, because a smirk crept across his face. 'No sir, other than general laziness.'

"Well, I'd like to see your license and registration. Are you still at this address?"
'Yessir'

He walks back to the squad car, writes me a ticket, goes over prepayment and if I get it fixed and prove it to the court it may just go away. The TIFU part of all this is:

*I work at a state inspection station*

Go ahead, I'll wait while you all facepalm. It would have taken perhaps 10 minutes of total effort on my part to get that sticker squared away 6 months ago, but I couldn't be bothered. So now I get to go spend that 10 minutes when I'm slammed to get it done, in order to take off a day of work to go to court and hope it gets dismissed.
<bot>: Let inspection sticker expire, got pulled over and ticket. I work at inspection station, taters gonna tate. Day off though, not wow.
