What do law enforcement see when they check your license plate?

What do law enforcement see when they check your license plate?


As far as the vehicle, you will get a make, model, style, and color. It will also check the stolen vehicle files. If the vehicle is was associated with a felony, or with a missing person, that will return also.

It will show if the registration is current, and when it expires.

It also provides the owners name and address, some states provide the owner's drivers license number also.

It will also indicate if the vehicle is leased, and if a bank holds a lien.

In my jurisdiction we get all that trooper said except the lien info, that stuff comes from the state computers.

Our local city computer automatically takes the state info and runs the owner name for warrants, local and national and drivers license info. So we would know if the owner of the vehicle had a suspended/revoked license.

All this pops up on the car terminal.

We can use the terminal for further searches but that is what comes up automatically.

It will depend on the system.

Our basic system shows, vehicle details such as make, model, color year, registered owner's name and address. Whether the vehicle has any "hits"...ATLs, warrants etc.

Then the officer can run the R/O which will show warrants and driving status.

Our new system will immediately alert to Revoked/Denied/Suspended driving status.

Yeah they will know if your license is suspended or revoked when they compare your drivers license to your license plate number. They can also see who owns the car, If you have any warrants out for your arrest, or if you have any DWI or DUI.

A couple of letters and some numbers.

They will call the plate in to headquarters where the state computers will divulge the owner, year, color and type of vehicle they belong to.

They see whether the car is properly registered, who it is registered to and if there are any outstanding warrants against it.

All kinds of things - including traffic tickets, warrants issued against you in any of the 50 states, your criminal history in the state...

The owner of the car, their address, phone #, criminal record and any outstanding warrants, I am guessing.

To see if you've been arrested in the past for prostitution so they can fondle you in the back seat. That goes for male and female officers
