I think it is a good thing. Take some responsibility for yourselves and check your license and registration on your own dime. I have no interest in paying taxes so that somebody can be mailed a reminder to renew anything because they are too bloody lazy to use their own brains.
And if you are not smart enough to figure out how to track this sort of thing on your own then you deserve the ticket.
Here is a hint: Use your PC to email yourself a reminder.
Bloody hypocrites whine about Obama and then whine about having to actually do something for themselves when the state can no longer afford to hold their hand....
