One can get a citation for a vehicle that has an expired vehicle registration for a car parked in a parking lot. The rationale is that under most statutes of all states in this country all vehicles that are out in a public area must have a valid registration.

The vehicle that you are writing about was in a public area and was subject to citation. Good question.
