How does one prove he is a legitimate tenant?
Copy of a lease is one way
Driver license showing current address
Recent utilities and gas bill
Renters insurance policy
DMV registration
Run a background check on tenant or squatter
Why is this complicated?

There is no law that states you need to have a drivers license to rent a house
For everything else, imagine photoshops of said docs.
Again street cops have neither the power nor the ability to authenticate such things.....without some sort of failproof way to authenticate valid contracts this will continue to exist.

License plate verification if squatter has a car

The DMV doesn't actually verify your address, so you could easily say you live in the house you're squatting in.

Police can check if a license plate is valid or active or car is stolen, delinquent on traffic tickets etc

It has nothing to do with rental agreement
But running plates can yield useful information about the credibility of tenant or squatter

Why would that tell them anything about whether the person is a tenant or not?
reply
It would not verify tenancy
It would only check the status of a vehicle.

Squatters are making fake lease agreements and you can switch utilities to your name without actually living somewhere. You can also put down someone else's address when you set up billing for all kinds of services.
