Sure, sure, I didn't mean that this will force _everybody_ to get it in a timely number - a lot of people will just play the numbers, and they'll be on the winning side, for quite some time.
But my feeling is that _most_ people will abide the law, and do it. Even playing the numbers, if the fine is larger than the cost of installing the gizmo, then if you're caught even once, you come out losing. But you can definitely postpone it.

And I didn't mean that all cops should actively look for it (certainly that would be impossible), but they could easily check that as well, whenever they pull you over for whatever reason. That's what I meant by playing the numbers, too. It's the same thing as giving a cursory glance to your licence plates, your lights, etc - if, for whatever reason, you get pulled over and they notice any problems with those, you suffer the consequences, even if that was not the reason to pull you over to begin with. This is just another small thing they can check _while they're at it_.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not supporting the idea, I'm just saying that they can implement it easily enough, in an efficient enough manner. Sure, it won't get 100% of folks installing it, but I would bet on a large majority.
