Can police ask for insurance still? Registration CA?

You heard a bunch of nonsense.

Sound like someone is pulling your leg. Yes you must provide, insurance, registration and driver's license to any officer that asks. You must also provide the above information to anyone you crash into. If you forget your insurance card and are given a court summons this is how you can reduce the consequences.

In California, we cannot pull you over JUST TO SEE if you have insurance, but if we stop you for a violation, you are required to have proof of current insurnace and your current registration card in the car with you. 16028. (a) Upon the demand of a peace officer pursuant to subdivision (b) or upon the demand of a peace officer or traffic collision investigator pursuant to subdivision (c), every person who drives a motor vehicle upon a highway shall provide evidence of financial responsibility for the vehicle that is in effect at the time the demand is made. However, a peace officer shall not stop a vehicle for the sole purpose of determining whether the vehicle is being driven in violation of this subdivision. 4454. (a) Every owner , upon receipt of a registration card , shall maintain the same or a facsimile copy thereof with the vehicle for which issued. California still requires that motor vehicles be registered every year, but you can obtain a permenant trailer identification (PTI) for most trailers (excluding house trailers, coaches, 5th-wheels), and pay a registration fee at the time of the original registration. A service fee is required every five years.

No.Insurance company still reports that your insured to DMV and cops can still ask for your papers. Paying registration every years funds CHP.

Neither are true. No idea how any of such rumors started. Not an invasion of privacy since SCOTUS has found in all kinds of cases that driving is never a right.
