I always looked at it as a reduntant courtesy to the officers...They'll find out anyway, and confirm everything is hunky-dory...
It would not bother me in the slightest if requirement were to go away...Knowing me, I'd forget and keep on notifying, simply by handing them the license when I get stopped...
But if it did come up for review to remove that requirement, the opposition would scream "blood in the streets" again...
I just don't see this to be that big a deal...
I don't want to be treated any different when I get stopped...Nor do I consider the license to be a free walk on anything...
