I'm surprised that he did not ask you where your regularly issued VA tag was. I am sure you need to have it in your vehicle at all times along with the vanity tag. Can't remember how VA tag records look in NCIC but both tags should come up as a cross reference when you run the registration including doing it by VIN#. That might mean there is actually a problem with the way VA put your tag into the system. DMV depts do make mistakes......trust me not often but it happens.

Sorry, you got a ticket for 10 over...a little "weak" by my standards....and apparently he had no Camaro Love....but then again those VA boys are tough down there...I don't even go messin' around in VA.
