No, they can't because your insurance is linked first to your vin number and not to your license, but in some states when you cancel your insurance they inform the DMV, in the case the police office can check in the case !

∙ 14y agoNo. Not by only running the license plate. However, the registerd owner(s) will be on the return the Officer gets. The Officer can then use that information to check for a license on the person listed on the return.

Why don't the cops in California give tickets for not having a front license plate when the law requires a front plate?
Front license plates weren't always required. If you purchased a car before the law passed requiring front plates, you don't have to have them on that car. I know from personal experience they will sometimes issue a ticket for that and the ticket is invalid.

Can you be pulled over solely for having a new car with paper plates?
No, those are temporary plates. They are good until they expire. But, what cops like to do is find anything you do wrong and pull you over for it, because they think you won't have insurance because you 'just bought the car.' If you get pulled over and ticketed because of temps, and your actual plates haven't come in yet, I would fight the ticket.
