Warp and Hog, Thanks for sharing my worries. I also agree that the people behind the controls are the weak point. Cant trust cops to protect us when they are already invading our privacy.

The audit, conducted by the state’s legislative auditor, Jim Nobles, revealed the practice was widespread, including 99 law enforcement personnel.

And it’s not just in Minnesota.

In Florida, the Driving and Vehicle Information Database (DAVID), saw an increase of mistreatment in 2012 at the hands of law enforcement officials. The Orlando Sentinel reported in January that more than 70 law enforcers were suspected of accessing DAVID out of turn.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement Statistics show a jump of improper use of the database from 15 in 2011 to 74 in 2012.

Of those officers who took liberty to access the database, many of them were doing so for strictly personal reasons. In one case, an officer looked up the information of a local bank teller whom he thought was flirting with him, according to the Sentinel.
