Better than getting the ticket while you're driving as a moving violation... Consider yourself lucky. Not only do they ticket you and fine you, but they also make you get out of your car and have it towed, which is an extra $100 cash straight into the pocket of the tow company. It doesn't make sense that they treat you this way for a 1-day expired sticker, but speeding, texting and even plowing through red lights don't get that kind of treatment.
