Tbf those rules came about due to it being a common avenue for robbery. The logic is that if you have a car at least we have your licence plate if you rob us, but if not you could get away with it easier.

I'm surprised they let you do it at all, must've been a while ago (or your area just recently got as bad as mine has been for years lol).
