Nice thought, but what about when there's no red light anywhere close? The people shooting riders up here (Seattle) with darts last year were doing drive-bys on roads where they could easily just speed away. And by the time you realize that there's a 3" dart hanging from you, the car is gone and you can't get a plate.
