Re: what can cops find out about you by running your license plate?
Law enforcement in most counties and municipalities nationwide now share information from a nationwide data base via the laptops in their squad cars. If you have priors, regardless of origin, that information IS available and only takes moments for them to obtain. If you have a warrant in another state, they will arrest you on the spot. If you have multiple traffic related offenses and are pulled over, they will see those and surely cite you again as you are a repeat offender. If you have any felonies, those too are easily viewed. Point is, if you have reason to be worried about LEO pulling you over because of past infractions, that information is just a few keystrokes away for them. Once your name joins the database club, you never get out...
