I would be concerned that this plan is not implemented fairly. What happens if you just renewed your insurance and can't convince the officer that it has been paid? What if you left the receipt at home in your briefcase? What if the insurance office can not be reached by phone and the officer doe not believe that you paid. Is the officer more likely to believe a white man driving a new car or a black man with a busted tail light driving a rusty 1979 Plymouth sedan?
Or what about the thousands of poor people that can't qualify for even basic liability. The insurance companies stick it to the poor people who walk in off the street with no insurance and no credit, especially if these people can't afford the policies down payment. Rich people have no problem paying for car registration, car inspection, car insurance, car maintenance, $ 3.50 gasoline. But for poor people, this is a major portion of their paycheck, and for many it is more than their income. Yet they have to have a car to get to work, or to take their family to the doctor, etc. I am concerned that this plan will end up being just another way to rob the poor people. We don't need to live in a police state where citizens are scared of the police. This policy will unintentionally cause poor people to dislike the police even more. We are becoming an aristocratic culture just like in the early days before the Russian Revolution. I believe that although the current system is flawed, that this new system will backfire. Much like the 55 mph speed limit back in the 70's.
