If you get caught by the police you have a human to reason with. "Listen officer, I have all the paperwork right here I simply haven't gotten it to the DMV yet because today is a weekend and they are only open weekdays".

I don't live in western Europe (thank god) so the police here don't impound people's means of personal transportation at the drop of a hat so you get the same fine the camera would have handed out with the opportunity to get out of it if you are genuinely being reasonable.

These sort of stuff tends to discriminate against certain segment of societies, like you are let go if you are white and fined if you aren't

Well, if that's your argument again automated systems I think it means that these systems are quick ok...

Also, we don't need to send any paperwork. For road tax they send a reminder a month in advance and you just need to pay online. Same for insurance (there really is no excuse for driving without insurance).
