Not to stir anything up but for those that think it's very easy for a cop to let you go with an expired/suspended/revoked license and or registration, it's not. If the cop lets you drive after stopping you and citing you and you go down the road and kill grandma walking accross the road, the cop is subjected to a lawsuit. The clearly states that you cannot drive in MA without an active license/registration and you must have insurance. By letting you go, not only have you "violated" the law but the officer has also.
Just my $.02 I just love the way people rip the cop for doing his job. Don't get me wrong, cops with attitudes are bad news but you can't rip the cop for doing what the are paid to do.
