Some of those are definitely safety issues, but even if we ignore those (and we shouldn’t)…

Why would you bother pay pay a red light ticket, speeding citation, school bus violation, whatever, if you can’t be pulled over for an expired registration?  How can they even issue a ticket if you have a non illuminated plate?  Why bother with so many things (like repairing a headlight) if you don’t have to?  How you you ever even know that you had a tailight out?  I’m just spitballing, I don’t have time to really list all of the reasons this is stupid.

I guess that the upside is that you can freely commit crimes at night if you just disable some plate lighting.

It’s all some weird justice theater with way more downside than upside.

Why would you bother obeying the law about right turn on red if you can just not obey the law about right turn on red? This is what I asked myself, this morning, as I sat in the right lane at a red light, waiting for the light to turn green so that I could go straight, and the driver behind me didn't want to wait, so they went around me and turned right on red from the left lane, in front of me, where there might have been pedestrians (high school students) in the crosswalk, which is actually a real and immediate safety issue. This happens [i]all the time[/i] these days. Not a cop in sight.

And meanwhile you're worried that cops might not be allowed to pull drivers over for tinted windows.[/quote]
