The vehicles were stopped following ANPR alerts indicating that the vehicles had no tax.
The Broxtowe South police division said the drivers were reported - and urged others to tax their vehicles.
Police published comments that were made to them by drivers after they were told their vehicle was being seized.
In an attempt to put cops off the scent, one told officers: "I'm a taxi, it has to be taxed."
Another said: "I pay by direct debit but not paid it since November last year."
One more said: "How do I get a log book to tax it? I've owned it for over a year."
