Question for Police or dispatchers about "tagging"

[flying_gage]

I am sure my town would not allow the police dept or the fire dept. .

You might be surprised. I know at the fire dept, we don't share the information. If we start sharing information with "Joe Public" that is sensitive, we will find ourselves in a world of hurt without representation and minus our jobs.

Police/Fire are pretty cognizant of privacy. That is why ten codes are/were used.

In Michigan, I saw the fact I have a CCW show up on the computer monitor on the inside of the Police Vehicle after an accident.

Here in Kansas your drivers license is your carry permit. It is printed right on top of it Concealed Carry Permit holder. It is tagged to anything your DL is used for.

It never was a secret that driver histories are available through state dmv systems. Unless it changed, inter-state dl history recorded are limited depending on the state and some are not available instantly. however the fact that you were stopped for some reason is not available to every agency on the whole. It was our policy to record every stop's reg into the system and all stops radio traffic is recorded and that is maintained. the the info is not shared unless a request is made by another agency.

The big if is that the state can and does record every request made into the system and that is maintained at that level. They use the data for overseeing the proper use of the system. During an investigation, a off-line search request can be made. But that data on the patrol vehicle's laptop. Doubt it.

Don't feel bad, per the outdated BMI, I am too.... 5'11 and 185 seems to be fat nowadays.
