When I was in law enforcement in Florida, the law allowed us, if we pulled over a vehicle with no proof of insurance, to confiscate on sight the license plates. They were held at the post for a short period of time to allow drivers who had coverage, but no proof in possesion, to get proof and get their tag back. After the cut-off, the tag was sent to Tallahassee. All of the Troopers in my unit carried screwdrivers and pliers.

I left Florida in 1991, so have no idea whether the law is still in effect, and how succesful it was. I do know that I never let a vehicle without proof of insurance leave without the tag being removed.
