Please cite your proof examples where this "happens all the time". Access to that info is more strictly controlled for about the past 10 years. And it's regularly audited. I've been questioned a couple of times when I didn't have a computer entry or a paper report covering something I accessed. There was a valid explanation each time that I was able to satisfy the inquiry, but my point is, it was noticed and questioned by someone from somewhere above my agency, I won't say where. Do privacy violations still occur? Yes. But to think a gang of motorcycle thieves is going to have a LEO friend that's on the inside run M/C plates they see on the internet so they can go steal them is a bit far fetched. If anyone thinks that's happening, I'll send them some tin-foil to line their hat with.
