This is akin to mandatory wearing of seat-belts, talking on your cell phone, etc.. There are not enough cops to ride around and enforce this stuff and for the life of me I wonder why a little common sense is not used, but I forget we are dealing with low life politicians trying to get elected over and over again.

In California, there is an ad running on KRLA where the CHP is asking you to turn in your neighbor if they have out of state plates on their cars. "Just give us a call, we'll do the rest". Same thing will happen with this. Some busybody malcontent will see you smoking in your car, get on their cell phone and call some "tipster" number with your license plate number. You'll get a ticket in the mail, just like with the red light cameras. You won't be able to contest the ticket because the burden of proof will be on you.

Sounds outrageous, but as the frog boils, the politicians get more brazen.

Why would the CHP want people to turn in their neighbors for having cars with out of state plates? That could lead to a lot of problems as well as so called invasion of privacy. Are they looking for something specific?????
