The idea is to prevent someone from having a valid looking tag on a car without insurance.
The penalty is $150 fine for first 30 days and $7 for each additional day, up to an annual maximum of $2500 per vehicle. I don't understand the point of the maximum. At $7/day without a cap, the maximum possible would be $2555, $2562 in leap years.
If you don't respond to their liking soon enough, they send it to their collections unit which adds an additional 17% penalty.

No, that's Maryland. Government is inherently neither evil nor incompetent. It is, at its worst, a reflection of the citizens it governs.
