You mean that tiny little plate of numbers you can only see by being up close to inspect? How does that help find, say, a suspect in a hit and run? You're sure as hell not gonna be able to read the VIN off a moving vehicle unless you're hanging onto the hood for dear life.
Did you even read my post? I said that you need plates to drive, but you don't need plates if you are parked (or on private property). If a car is parked, you have plenty of time to read the VIN. Driving on public roads without plates is illegal and you risk jail time.
