Why not check for proof of insurance? Uninsured motorists are a tremendous problem in this country, and other than making sure that a car is insured when it is registered, most counties don't do anything to crack down on this problem.

Why not random late night house searches ... I sure that it would caught many instances of law breaking ... and I know as of late every Podunk town has a SWAT team that could use the exercise and the practice ... after all we have nothing to hide.

"Why not check for proof of insurance?"
Why not search the car for illegal weapons or drugs? Why not search the people in the car? How about strip-searching everyone? How about arresting and detaining anyone who can't prove beyond a reasonable doubt who they are until they can? How about we check for outstanding warrants on all of them? Unpaid child support, traffic tickets, or any of a dozen other reasons to jail people or otherwise punish them?
After all, every 'citizen' is just another potential criminal, right?

I'm sure when the nice officer asks for "your papers, please", he means both your DL and POI. More likely he/she asks for both by name, for the time being. Until we all get used to the pot being a few degrees warmer.
