No.
Currently a police officer can run your plate through the LEIN (Law Enforcement Information Network) and get several returns. One return is from NCIC which tells if there are any national 'hits' or 'wants' for that plate (i.e. is the plate reported as stolen someplace). It also checks through a statewide file for wanted hits. One of the returns is from the SOS (Secretary of State). This return will give all of the registration information on the vehicle. Registration information includes VIN, year, make, (sometimes model) and style of the car. The SOS return also gives information as to the registered owner of the vehicle and lien-holder (bank) if any. Lastly the SOS return gives an expiration date of the plate.
By running a plate, an officer CAN also run the registered owner of the vehicle and see if they have a valid license, who they are, and if they are wanted.
Despite all that information, the officer CANNOT determine whether a vehicle is currently insured or not by running a Michigan plate.

Yes, in Michigan, police officers can run your license plate to determine if your vehicle has valid insurance. This information is typically accessible through the Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN) database. If the officer discovers that your vehicle is uninsured, they may take appropriate action, such as issuing a citation or impounding your vehicle.

Yes!

They will also find out once that particular ticket is reported to the insurance companies, and placed on your record.

If two cars crash and neither driver has insurance, the police officer arriving on the scene will of course both issue you tickets for no insurance, and your license can be suspended.
