I mean can they show a vehicle not having insurance when it has got insurance, because I'm typing this out now with my insurance document to my right having had a police officer an hour ago tell me I had no insurance and he would make a few phone calls and come and get me when he found out that I never had any.

If you showed a cop your documents, he may question them or threaten you but if they can be verified then his doubts and threats mean nothing. Additionally as far as I know the cops cannot tell if you have insurance or NOT through any means or resources they have.

Do citizens forge documents to fool the cops... YES!! From false plates, to ID's, to false insurance papers, and cards. So if your documents are legally valid then what's to fret about?

Does your state require that a an insurance sticker be placed on the license tag or windshield? As far as I am aware most states do not require this. Which would mean this has nothing to do with a camera, but with a database of vehicles. The officer ran a check, which, apparently didn't show insurance coverage. But if you have your insurance ID card and checked with the carrier that the policy is in force you should have no problem.

Frankly, I think the officer overstepped his bounds. If you had an ID card with you, that should have been sufficient proof. If you didn't the officer would have issued a summons for operating an uninsured vehicle. He would definitely not "come and get" you. He would not have bothered to check. All you would need do is show up in court and show proof of insurance.

Yes, they do malfunction. A friend of mine just got pulled over for an expired tag. The tag decal was current and matched the tag number. Officer said?? In GA, you cannot get a renewal tag decal without current insurance and payment to the tag office.
