You are not entirely correct .... in fact ... entirely wrong. First off, you are proposing addenda to the bill which as of now do not exist.
Second, you are assuming cops will be more willing to look for bike thieves. The people who would get busted would be poor folks who bought off EBay or local websites. Thieves don't steal bikes and ride them. You do know that, I hope.
What this could do would be to bind up a bunch of folks whose bikes were stolen, who needed to buy a cheap replacement immediately to do their daily commute.

Lucky you, since that would never have happened anyway.
My question would be, if there is a plate issued .... where would it be mounted? I have no free real estate on my seat post, no rear rack, no place to attach a bracket ....
