This is where a libertarian philosophy would help keep it real. Government should have no interest in whether we have our doors on or off! How is having your doors off hurting someone else, unless you have children or minors in the vehicle with you? This nanny-statism, rampant on the east and west coasts, drives me crazy.

I was pulled over in Oregon for not having a front license plate. I tried to explain to him (after showing him my Arizona registration and him running my Arizona plates) that in AZ we arent required to have front plates. His reply, "all states require front plates" I wasnt going to get anywhere with him. I got a nice lecture on why front plates are mandatory from him though. Thankfully my door were installed or I'd probably be locked up now!

Here in British Columbia Canada it is not legal to have no doors or tube doors, the vehicle must have doors on it if it came from the factory with them on it, I have asked many RCMP officers if they would give me a ticket or a warning and they all said no they would not but they also said if a cvse officer sees me with no doors they HAVE to give me a ticket and possible inspection, i think it's a stupid law but if it wasn't there then you would see every 4x4 driving down the road with no doors on them and I think it could cause some problems
I talked to an inspection agency here in Parksville and they said they would most likely pass a tube doors on a Jeep if they were in good working order. I also talked to the head inspection guy in Victoria and he said that he would not question the inspection done on tube doors whether they pass or fail.
-----------------------------------------
Here is the wording exactly for BC:
Door, body, hood
11 The vehicle shall comply with section 19.02 of the regulations with regard to size and dimension.
Doors — Doors shall be installed in a vehicle where the vehicle was manufactured with doors.
The doors with which a vehicle is equipped shall be in good working order, and any hinge, latch or handle must not be broken, missing or inoperable.
The doors shall not be warped, twisted or weakened to the extent that a slight jar will open them.
A door shall be capable of being opened or closed with normal effort.
