They search the database and respond to any hit.

That was a puff piece, trying to minimize everything that this system
will do.

Look... cops are not driving around aiming cameras at cars to figure
out if the owners have insurance. That's just nonsense. It might come
up during a stop, probably would, but that's a long way from what
you're proposing.

Read my top quote

If you pop on the computer for anything, you get stopped. Insurance is
one of those things. It is clear the cops here go looking for cars
with no insurance or they would not have found the server yesterday.
I don't know what the chances are that you get caught on any given day
but it is enough to scare people into getting insurance.
This is four for her place that she knows about and one of them took
the chance, it didn't work out so well.
The damned tow is about $300 and $50-$100 a day (depending on who gets
the tow) until you can get your tag straightened out. I hope you don't
have a roach in the ash tray.

One of the reasons they use the traffic (radar) guys for this is they
may be able to write a few speeding tickets while they are waiting for
the insurance guy to drive onto a public street.

They are not checking unless they have a reason to. Not sure how to
make this more understandable.
