It is likely that the law requires you to show proof of registration, so he was just trying to catch you in a gatcha situation where you didn’t have the paperwork that he knew existed. Like how you are required to carry your license with you even though they can just look it up to confirm you are licensed.
Comment on Why do cops still ask for registration during traffic stop?

I should have said I’m in Florida. We get a sticker for the plate and a paper copy. I was pulled over for not giving a cop enough space on the side of a road while passing since I was merging over when I passed and got asked for All 3.

Sounds like cop is at fault.
Tell him to fuck off and stop endangering others.
