License plates don't stop drunk drivers, speeding, or other reckless behavior. It doesn't make you wear a seatbelt, either. License plates aren't for safety. They're so we can more easily charge road tolls, parking fines, and increasingly: keep tabs on people's whereabouts. Effectively, drone registration is much the same -- except it would be a better analogy to say the DMV wants everyone to get license plates on bicycles and scooters. (Small vehicle, readily built from parts off the internet, people who enjoy them are generally seen as a nuisance, and this legislation simply gives them an additional burden as a middle finger.)
