Not sure how long they need to keep the plates though, this only started this year.

I remember hearing about that... and it's got some issues as well... what happens if Mrs Absorbentishe gets fed up wiht all the time you spend on TFP and decides to go out drinking with the girls and gets a DUI on the way home. Is her car tagged? Or yours - what's to stop her from driving your car, assuming you are both insured on both cars. What happens if your car gets sick and you take Mrs. Absorbentishe's car with the special plate and someone decides that people convicted of DUI's should be expunged from the earth and drives you off the road, you didn't do anything wrong though - ... It's making the driver of the car a target.
Unless you can guarentee me with 100 percent degree of certainty that these databases are going to be accurate (and I don't think that's possible, they are just opening the door for trouble)
