So the solution to government agents exceeding their authority is to increase the authority in order to catch up to the agents.

Lynchburg Commonwealth's Attorney Michael R. Doucette agreed that failure to have proof of insurance while driving is not illegal.
"Rather, the offense is having an uninsured motor vehicle and not paying the uninsured motorist fee of $500 per year," Doucette said.
Doucette said requiring drivers to present either proof of insurance or proof of payment of the uninsured vehicle fee would go a long way to clear up the confusion. The General Assembly has considered such a mandate at least three times, but has never passed it.

Get that?  It's not illegal, it's not even "incorrect" as some asshat said in the article. But the commonwealth has been treating as such and now in some bizarre attempt to grandfather their law into effect, it will become illegal, and legally speaking it will have been illegal.




It's the only option, really...



Also, isn't the English language amazing?  "It will have been" is the future tense of a past tense.  Fun!
