Best article written on the topic to date. Thanks for posting.
TLDR: It depends. Some states have now enacted laws specifically targeting this issue, which implies they felt they didn't have enough teeth to enforce the issue prior to that.
Utah's strategy is interesting. They are going to compare data between the
Tax Commission and the state's
Uninsured Motorist Identification Database. The former will tell them if a car has been registered in the state and the latter will tell them if a car is insured in the state. If the car is insured in the state, but there isn't a matching registration, then that's how they find you.
