Can the police check and see if you have insurance?

[Edit]

Answer

In most states when a person is stopped by police and proof of insurance is not provided, they will receive a ticket with a date to appear in court to prove they were insured according to state law on the date they were given the ticket. If they do not appear on the court date or make other arrangements with the court, they may be charged with contempt of court and other applicable violations.
