Right up there with some insurance agents here.
A number of years ago the state required insurance agents to inform them if a customer let their auto insurance lapse.
In theory, not a bad idea for combating uninsured drivers.
Didn't quite work that way.
Find a better deal on car insurance, cancel your policy with the old company and old company notified the state that you no longer had car insurance. The State, in their infinite wisdom, automatically suspended your drivers license for not having insurance, of course they didn't bother to notify you. Get pulled over for a minor infraction, go to jail for driving on a suspended license, car gets towed and impounded.
Of course you got your "due process and the chance to sort it all out in court. So, even after having done nothing wrong, you got to deal with the courts and associated legal fees, deal with paying for towing and impound/storage fees.
Didn't last too long and the legislature actually managed to fix it.
