Default Re: Reconstructed Vehicle VIN swap

I'm not a lawyer (but I play one on TV), so Lynn, correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe there are two laws in play here. The first, from South Carolina that states it's okay to change VIN's if you leagally own both cars, and the second, from a Federal standpoint that states you CAN'T change VIN's no matter what. In this case the Federal ruling would take precedance over the State law and make it illegal to change VIN's.

It's like the Pot laws. Some states have made it legal to posess MJ, but since it's still a Federal offense, it's against the law and you can still be arrested.

Comments?
