In a town that is an hour into NJ from PA where 75% or more of the license plates driving around are PA (I've also seen 4 or 5 other states represented to a lesser degree) it's quite easy knowing who is unregistered/uninsured and who isn't...
You could drive down almost any side street and run all the tag #'s and probably tow off 80% of them for being unregistered/insured.
(If you live in NJ you should have NJ tags, period.)
As for 'racial profiling' that's easy enough to remedy. Run EVERYONE'S tag #'s, not just the PA tags. Those who have done nothing wrong have nothing to worry about. A friend of mine has a nephew in the local police department, and he's said that most of the cops just don't want to have to deal with all the paperwork involved when you pull over an illegal and take their car away.
I have known many many people to have their car hit by an illegal not only driving around, but parked at the curb in front of their house. In every case they run, or, if the car doesn't work any longer, hop out of the car and scurry off like a bunch of cockroaches. Then their's my friend Jennifer. Her grandmother had JUST attended the funeral of a family member. She drove home with another family member, parked at the curb in front of her home, got out of the car and was struck and killed by a drunk uninsured/unlicensed illegal. He, again, jumped out of the car and ran. Luckily some people caught him and held him until police could arrive.
I (and most people I know) have absolutely no sympathy for illegals. Round 'em all up, send 'em all home. Build a wall, and shoot any that try to sneak over...

Nah, I won't really be much concerned with the lack of a front plate on mine. Only when I have to go thru inspection, and I'm sure I can rig something up to hold it on for that 30 mins or so. LOL
