As I recall, when they started handing out failure to produce proof of insurance tickets more often, a compelling factor was they would hand out a no insurance ticket and it would get fought because most of the time they actually did have insurance, but not the current paperwork in the vehicle. The end result was often a increase in court costs but less ticket income, so they prioritized the failure to produce proof tickets instead.
Maybe my memory is skewed though, anyone know if this is even remotely true?
