well that really doesnt matter, because if you do get pulled over the officer/deputy/osp has to have something to go on. that way they can run the plate before they even exit the vehicle. when they run the plate threw L.E.A.D.S. it brings up your whole driving record and if you have CCW to approach with caution. Also if they walk up and you decide to take off then they wouldnt know who it was. Thats the reason.
