Your opinion is noted, but your state must have passed a law to get folks to pay their debts, and allow the DMV to deny you a licence.  If it is child support or a government debt, you just need to pay up.  If you don't like it, write your state representative and senator.

Sometimes the police can find out this kind of information.  If you have a good (legal) reason for it, you could call your local law enforcement.  Also, try to contact the motor vehicle registration department and see what they say.

In California, our department policy states that only the victim in the DV case is entitled to a copy of the report through the records department. The suspect is only granted a copy of the report when we've received a subpoena for it (usually through the suspect's attorney).\n\nThe district attorney's office already has the report and the defense is able to get that through motions of discovery.\n\nTechnically, through the Freedom of Information Act, anybody may request a copy of any report from a government agency. In many cases though, the reports given have had so much information redacted/deleted due to privacy rights, that they end up containing little to no usable data.

the irs has power above the law to take anytime without due process. the only thing is very few people know the secrets to the irs and can stop them in their tracks. they are the only government agency that has never been audited. they use their power to scare when they have less power than you think if you know the laws and ways to deal with them.

I've worked in the Vehicle Records unit in my local police dept and ran into this problem all the time.... *** In California***\nWith our interface, we can run by name and address to see what vehicles you've got registered, as long as the vehicle is currently and COMPLETELY registered in your name (not just listed as a New Buyer).  But if your local PD can't do that, then look at your insurance paperwork.  Your VIN is listed on that.

When you fill out your auto application, at the very bottom where you sign, there's a box which says, by signing here you're authorizing the insurance company to have access to whatever records they want - they can even make inquiries of your neighbors.  \n\nI'm assuming this is an auto policy, and the offer letter relates to bodily injury sustained in an auto accident.

The name of the Government agency is Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). This Government Agency is selling the names and home addresses of motorists on its drivers' database to convicted criminals. For more information, refer to the source.

It's a safety net for the company to prevent criminal or immoral activity. It also sets limits so that employees are able to access only the files that they need to perform their job. You would't want a new salesman to be able to access the payroll files would you?

They have access to lots of information and records, but it's not without permission (I think that's what you mean by 'permittion'??) - they are there to protect people, especially children, so they have to be able to access data. Just like police and medical staff. They have a fair bit of power.

It works the same way as welfare. We work, but still wind up paying for those who choose not to work. \n\nAs for having the license plate, that doesn't always help. People sell cars to each other all the time without ever filling out paperwork to the DMV. The person listed as the owner of the car could have sold it three years ago to "Joe". Joe sells it to someone else, that person sells it to someone else, and so on. I have run across a car that changed hands five times since the last registered owner without having any paperwork filed.\n\nThe fact that you put the word worked in quotes suggests you don't believe that the detective did anything. I find the fact that you had a detective working on a simple hit-an-run to be impressive.\n\nBottom line is, just because the results of an investigation aren't to your satisfaction doesn't mean that effort and work weren't put into your case. The police are there to tell you the facts, not just what you want to hear.

A political Action Committee must make its financial records public.  Start with your county election office and if they can't tell you who to request such figures, they can tell you who in your area will have the information.

Yes, because I'm not a criminal so they have no right to collect data on me.  They don't need to listen in on things to know details of my life.  They can figure out easily how often I call my doctor, how often bill collectors call me, how often I stay in touch with family and where they are, what products I purchase via phone, how often I order pizza, and whether or not I cheat on my wife.  \n\nI don't want some geek sitting in a control room somewhere figuring that out, its just creepy...and unconstitutional...and "1984".  Please place me on the "Do Not Monitor" list, thanks.

Because it gives a creditor a "snapshot" of the company's financial health (assets, liabilities, owner's equity). \n\nAlso, at my bank the owner has to sign the F/S stating that it is "true and accurate". If any of the info proves to be otherwise, then the person/company has presented fraudulent/misleading info to a federally insured institution and that opens up a Pandora's box of problems for the person/company including possible "criminal liability".

Some places use voting lists.  Others use drivers license info.  If you drive and vote, they're gonna get you sooner or later.

What kind of record are you looking for?  Your driving record?  That can be obtained at the DMV for a small fee.
