Uh, no, what I'm saying is that you have people right now that own cars that are "incorrectly" tagged with no intent to commit fraud. What you guys are basically saying is: "Too bad sucker. Now prepare to lose your arse." This is thus a financial hardship, and what I'm saying is that it will wreck the hobby.

The people who right now have a fake trim tag are in no different position than before this law came out. Let's say for example that someone who does not know he has a faked car, sells it to someone in Oklahoma and the buyer then decides to pursue the seller through this new law, the seller would not be held liable since he did not "knowingly" sell a car with a fake trim tag. If you are attempting to sell a car with a fake trim tag, either remove it, or get an acceptable tag. If you have a car with a fake trim tag but have no desire to sell the car, just enjoy the car as this law was not written for you.

As far as the lose your arse comment, this happens every day in this hobby unfortunately. Someone buys what they thought is the real thing, only to find out later that they do not have what they thought they bought. Anyone in this situation has lost money at the buy because they paid too much for what they really have. They in fact, may be the victim of fraud themselves. If the person upon finding out he has been taken attempts to sell the car with the fake trim tag to an Oklahoman, they are guilty of the law because they know the trim tag is fake. Nobody wants to be caught holding the bag but just because you were screwed, doesn't make it right (or legal) to "pass the buck".
