I'm dealing with this right now. A cop wrote me a ticket for not having proof of insurance when it isn't a law in my state to carry it. DMV.org even says LEOs have access to a database where they can look up insurance.

But now I have to deal with going to court and I imagine I'll still pay a fine.

Really? In my state (Virginia), officers have to write the number or whatever of the statute that you are breaking when writing a ticket. Is there anything like that in your state?

Some states require that you give them "insurance information" which is different than proof of imagination.

Basically, they what the key to do the lookup in the DB by policy ID because their tables are not quite joined the right way... :)
