Get third party vendors to do all the dirty work? No oversight? No taxpayer control? No accountability? Sounds like they're taking a page out of the Zuckerberg/Facebook playbook.
They already do this in Florida. I totaled my car a few years ago. Since I didn't have a car, I called and canceled my insurance. Shortly after, I received a threatening letter from the state of Florida, saying they were going to suspend my license, unless I got car insurance. Big Brother interfering in our life at every moment.
Police already have a database for insurance, if fact Alabama already does"random" checks for insurance and will cancel your registration. Unless you rather have uninsured drivers out there, I'm ok with it. Driving a car involves tremendous risk to all parties. People forget how deadly and expensive a car wreck can be. Push back in Illinois if you don't like the law, but these databases have existed for a long time.
The police do ask and run checks during traffic stops, I have no issue with that. I do have issue with this going to a 3rd party and being random. This is not going to force people to get insured. Half the people not carrying insurance are not even licensed drivers but continue to drive. Mandatory insurance laws have not improved number of insured drivers. As usual these laws are intrusion on the law abiding citizens. The criminals are not impacted.
Nevada insurance is tied to registration. No proof of insurance, no registration. If insurance is cancelled for any reason the car registration is automatically revoked and there is a $250 fine to have it reinstated. The fines increase if there has been another suspension within 5 years. My insurance company screwed up a payment and there was a lapse of 2 days and I got nailed. There are no appeals and no excuses. You get your registration suspended, pay up.

I finally get to move my family out of this shit hole at the end of July.

I'm just making the point that these databases already exist and they already share them with leo
