• Cars can still be identified by the VIN which is on the windshield.

    You mean that tiny little plate of numbers you can only see by being up close to inspect? How does that help find, say, a suspect in a hit and run? You’re sure as hell not gonna be able to read the VIN off a moving vehicle unless you’re hanging onto the hood for dear life.

      Did you even read my post? I said that you need plates to drive, but you don’t need plates if you are parked (or on private property). If a car is parked, you have plenty of time to read the VIN. Driving on public roads without plates is illegal and you risk jail time.
