Many police now use automatic scanning to check for valid registration or insurance. There are also some heavy penalties for driving without insurance. Something like a simple RIDE check (impaired driving check point) could reveal you have no insurance and you could face a lisence suspension. You could also be subject to an expensive lawsuit if you do hit an expensive car in an at fault accident.
yeah but the us is a dictatorship. fairer countries probably aren't forcing you to pay private insurance nor they are scanning your plates.
