Similar thing happened to me a few years ago. I was about to get in my car when a detail cop (Edison was working on the street) says "Where are you going?" I politely informed him that I was going home. He then pointed out that my registration had expired and I told him that I never got the renewal. He calls in the plate and the address comes back as #55 XXXXX St. I showed him my license that said I lived at #155 XXXXXX St., and that's most likely the reason I never got it.
The cop told me he didn't want to see me drive the car out of there so I waited until he left and went home.
Then after about 3 weeks of constant calls to the Registry, it was all straightened out, but what a PITA.
