So cops, who some think have speed guns surgically grafted to their arm and have to deal with radios, PDAs, in car data terminals, umpteen different computer systems at the office and everything else think cant run a vehicle check as it's beyond them?

As I've said before countless times the issue isn't about doing the check, it's about choosing who to perform a check on.

You might be happy for a full PNC check on your car and occupants to be undertaken during any interaction but I'm not especially when that can take 5 minutes plus per check.

A handy visual indicator on prominent display let the police filter out who and when full checks occur on.
