If the police are not sighting them, how are they stopping them --
and how do they know their licences are recently expired?
While they are SIGHTING them, the problem is that they are not CITING
them. When they are stopped and hand over an expired license there is
no need to check the computer - the document itself has an expired
date on it. All checking with the computer would do is verify if the
license had been renewed (and thus was in force). Also the computer
check would be needed to spot a license whose expiration date had not
yet been reached but which had been suspended.
