(1) registration will be a key to LIMITING governments role by focusing attention on those responsible for the actions which so many cyclists find abhorrent about CM 'events.' Compare that with the 'dragnet' approach which is necessary right now because miscreants cannot be indentified.
(2) Again a good point as a conservative; but behavior on the roadways has always been subject to a host of regulations on velocity, seat belts, signals, etc. Again...how do identify violators of these rules? By using license plates.
