You guys really want to get upset, watch Live PD on A/E on Friday and Saturday nights 6 pm until 9 pm Pacific time. 99 percent of the people pulled over have no license nor insurance. Cops do very little if anything. It is crazy that the honest ones keep paying and nothing is done to the ones that don't. LOE keep saying if that is all you have done you are good to go.

Because they can.....I got arrested once for a warrant for a "no proof of insurance" ticket from a traffic stop years prior. Ended up being a clerical error by the county that cost me $250 and a morning in jail, lol. I provided proof directly, the next day. New policy, hadn't gotten cards yet was the issue.
Anyway, point was, it took 3 years before they "caught" me. It would have only cost $500 if I was guilty and I should have been "caught" sooner as I'd been pulled over for speeding several times in those 3 years with no repercussions about the past insurance thing.
Not much of an incentive for the law breaker to comply....
