BTW this is why I have been saying for years, insurance companies
should be titling cars and issuing tags. They are the ones with the
skin in the game and the databases the cops use anyway.
The whole thing could be rolled up into one national database and
eliminate 51 state (remember DC) operations that are not that good
about talking to each other

National db? Perhaps administered by insurance companies? Or, by the
gov't??? Sounds like a police state to me...

Insurance companies already maintain a national database. That was my
point.
The insurance company database is a whole lot more accurate than the
police database unless the police link to the insurance companies,
which they do in Florida.


It is amazing how private enterprise can get a system up and running
between many companies extremely quickly. However when there are
government agencies involved it never seems to get done.


Yeah all those civil liberty issues are really a bummer.
