How about a hard no to that....
>That makes enforcement better
No it does not, it has problems with constitutional issues (being able to face your accuser) and owner of the vehicle is not always the driver, and under an innocent until proven guilty system it is on the state of PROVE you were the driver, many automated systems flip this and assume the owner is the driver and if you were not you are liable until you inform the state who was the driver.
None of that should be allowed in a free society,and I am not willing to give up essential liberty for traffic safety
That is all with out going into the innumerable ways traffic systems are already abused for other purposes than just traffic enforcement
