What gives the police the right to check out our plates while they are driving? To me that could lead to an accident that they are causing? I have had mine checked at least 3 times while I have been driving down the road and the police were behind me typing into their computers to me that is not safe.

Oh, don't worry. There is an automated plate scanner that scans 3 plates/second as they drive around town.
