Honestly, if someone gets pulled over for no inspection and they tell the cop, its a 1995 and now exempt, the cop will most likely just make sure registration is valid and insurance is up to date on the card. That is all.
I highly doubt they will go back to their car and run any sort of search, not worth their time.
When I have issues with the Ram in say a roadside checkpoint, , I don't even tell them what year it is. They usually just ask "diesel?" I say yes and they wave me though. In the future it'll probably be "1995? yea? ok on your way". When I get stopped and the cop asks why no inspection, I also say "exempt, diesel" and they just check that I have my paperwork and then let me go, No running my info or anything.
The whole exact date thing with, If i buy a car today... is really just silly. If someone is worried, just wait till may. Then if its a 95 or older, most likely at the dmv they will say right then that its exempt. No worries then. For those cars coming due, most likely they will get a letter stating exemption begins when sticker expires. They are only sending letters right now to cars coming due, not ones due next year yet. In any case, once may hits, its basically all 95 and older are exempt. not much to be worried about. If you have no sticker after that fine, if you have a sticker that says 2017, also fine. in 2017 peel it off, or if you're a baddass, peel it off now.
