No police officer would ever pull you over to check and if you got stopped for something like rolling through a stop sign no officer could ever tell if it had a VIN # . . . the problem might be, "what happen if you have an accident with the insurance?" I do not think it is worth the gamble but that's me and the cost of insurance on an LSV is very very cheap (I have one).
My understanding is that if it is an LSV (and they do look different that golf carts) it must be registered. If a policeman sees an LSV looking vehicle without a license tag they will stop it and ticket it - VIN number or not.

Go to the Golf cart seminar or the poice station and present this tale and see what they say.
