I've read the argument concerning drivers licenses being constitutional. ie "driver vs. travel" etc. - would the same argument apply to license plates?

yes, it would as a annual tax creates a lease upon your property making it not your property.

The State owns your car. That's why you need license, registration and proof of insurance. For the full story see http://www.kingsbeacon.org/stateownsyourcar.php. This is using Louisiana law, but it will be the same in your State. They are just allowing you to use their car. That's why driving is a privilege.

Seeya is wrong. It is not the annual tax that gives the State a lien on your vehicle. In Louisiana it is Article VII section 5 of the Louisiana Constitution that creates an admiralty lien on the vehicle by an illegal bill of credit. This is why you have to appear in a federal admiralty court (notice the admiralty flag in the court.) There is a full translation of Article VII section 5 from legalese into plain English. It can be found at http://www.kingsbeacon.org/stateownsyourcar.php. Don't believe me. Go and see for yourself. You can also find all of my paperwork on the site too. They have been trying (unsuccessfully) to convict me for 5 years and have stopped inviting me into court for over a year as of October 30, 2008
