You run a car's plate all because of a sticker on the car and you automatically assume they are shady? Is that even legal to do?Sure...I pay attention to them...and am certain to run that plate.
See them on more shady cars than not.

So does that mean that having any kind of sticker on your vehicle that an individual LEO takes exception to; where no crime is taking place, gives that LEO reasonable suspicion look up your plates?It could be an indicator of something and rise to the level of reasonable suspicion.

No shit? Well you learn something new everyday. I mean I always figured LEO looked up plates regardless of a crime taking place but I figured it was a against policy or something.You don't need RS to run a plate.

I wasn't arguing with you at all. I was actually trying to get more clarification because it seems kinda wrong (to run plates with no probable cause that is). So there is no need for a Maginot Line defense. lol.You are never gonna get it and I'm not going to argue with ya. I didn't say that, and you are lacking in critical reading skills. If you want to argue find another homey cuz I ain't playing. It's not about predjudice, or ideals. Most cops are pragmatists. They know that bad guys and trouble makers act in certain ways, exhibit certain behaviors, it's not about ideology. The ones that are bullies behind the badge and are JBTs are a different category all together. It's being street smart and either you got it or you don't, it's that simple. I'm not a cop. I work with cops, some I'd trust on the mean streets of Lowell, Lawrence or Fitchburg with my life because they know what they are doing, they are street smart, others I'd feel safer with a troop of girl scouts and my Swiss Army knife, maybe those are the cops you are talking about, and frankly you want to turn this into a usual JBT I know my rights NES rant, and it gets old Bubba Gump. Find another huckleberry.

It's MA, we have a law for everything.

Think about it like this. When you run checks on a plate, all you're doing is looking at records. Meaning you're looking at information that the government is already aware of and has already entered into one or more databases.I wasn't arguing with you at all. I was actually trying to get more clarification because it seems kinda wrong (to run plates with no probable cause that is). So there is no need for a Maginot Line defense. lol.
Some departments have cameras in their cruisers that are hooked up to optical character recognition software that automatically looks up any plate that happens to get in front of their lens. Perfectly legal apparently.
Those plate readers don't do "live" database queries though. Mainly to save on cell data usage.
... Every day or few days, a database of plates that have problem statuses attached to them (owner has a warrant or suspended license, vehicle registration is revoked, etc.) are downloaded to the computer running the plate reader. All that is stored is the plate and the reason for the problem status, no personal info is stored. ...
So.... Register the car in another state to defeat the readers. (And save a couple bucks on insurance, too!) Nice. Thank you!
Until its discoved you dont live in another state !! MA always gets their dough.

The courts, at least in MA, had ruled there is no expectation of privacy in your plate results.
Despite how BS I may think that is, police and other data terminal users must also abide by NCIC, DCJIS, and CORI regulations that bar queries for improper purposes--for example, to find out what type of car Tom Brady drives or to lookup where the cute Dunkin Donuts cashier lives.
Do you know what a "III" or "Triple I" look-up is? MSP did it on a Pakistani national earlier today and I've never heard of it.

Triple I is part of NLETS, which is the system that links all the state databases. Every LTC applicant gets run through III as well.Do you know what a "III" or "Triple I" look-up is? MSP did it on a Pakistani national earlier today and I've never heard of it.

It's not even so much of a money thing, but that fact by the time info comes back after querying the state database, the oncoming car would be long gone. It's quicker to keep the info on the local computer.Well I guess it's good that they're saving the taxpayers a few bucks on the 3G bill.

Reader alarm goes off, you take action to make sure you don't loose the car, and confirm in the live database.
