Yes, 15 points, plus another 25 points if picked up with the wrong plates.

And how pray tell would it be possible to determine that a trailer was wearing a "borrowed" plate?

Depending on trailers it could be hard but if say one was an old 1975 home built blue one and it's plate was on what is clearly a newish silver one they might wonder. But yea, not like they have body tags. maybe they should?

My black trailer is registered as yellow, coz it used to be yellow years ago. The colour can be changed at the time of a fresh rego. But then again - my boat trailer is yellow!

A lot of commercially made trailers have a serial number from the manufacture somewhere on them and boat trailers normally say boat trailer on the rego papers ,

but the serial number is not on the rego, so how would enforcement know?

Are trailers subject to the new wof rules where as if newer than 2005 you only need them yearly ?

Isn't that for a motor vehicle? is a trailer classed as one?
LOL Iv'e just got one for my trailer for "Operated a motor vehicle on the road when it was not licensed. by a parking warden.
My trailer wasn't on the road, It was parked 5 metres off the road (council land) on the grass and had been there for 5 hours.
Thinking about fighting it. just for S and G.

Ah just found the def of the nzta site
DEFINITION: Trailer A vehicle without motive power that is constructed for the purpose of being drawn behind a motor vehicle.
So surely no demerits on that one.

sounds like done for the wrong thing.
a lot of councils have bylaw stating you can't have an unlicensed vehicle on council land and i think some may include "public place".
