I recently bought a car but decided shortly thereafter to resell it. I was short on money which is why i didnt bother registering it. The title was left open by the guy that i bought it from. After posting an ad about it on craigslist a guy showed up, test-drove it and decided to buy it. the issue is that he actually turned out to be a police officer off duty who was looking to buy a car for his personal usage. When i gave him the title he looked at it and noticed that i didnt had it registered to which he then said: "Thats called skipping title, which is a misdemeanor...". Regarless of the issue, he still bought the car! Now my question is the following:
1. can he get me in trouble? He knows my real name and where i live but.....he was an OFF DUTY police officer.
2. what are possible consequences i may face
3. What does the law say about it here in Missouri? Is that really a misdemeanor or something less than that.....like an infraction maybe?
4. If he decides to give me trouble how would he proceed and what chances do i have to avoid procecution. (there was no bill of sale signed")
these are all the questions that go through my head right now. i would appreciate if if i get these questions answered. Thanks.
