So is the proposal a system for identifying known images of stolen bikes? That doesn't make sense because it isn't against the law to have an image of a stolen bike.

No. This system would only work for material that is illegal to possess. If we want to go paranoid, we could see a similar system deployed to prevent computers from having unauthorized copyrighted materials (DRM-free ebooks, academic papers, movies, etc), that’d be a horrible reality.
