That's not unique to NY.   KY has the same tax regulations as do I
expect most other states.  Since no one is normally tracking your out of
state purchases it's a regulation that is most often enforced when those
purchases are discovered in the midst of some other investigation and
have significant value. They are a lot more concerned about you crossing
the state line to buy a new car than they are about the Mickey Mouse
ears you brought back from Florida.
