The databases used by police forces to perform license plate lookup searches are protected by law and cannot be used by civilians for any purpose. This is to protect personal privacy.

However, there are other sources of information that contain these license plate details. For instance, there are public records kept in every state and county that contain personal information, including car details.

These records are available to the public under the freedom of information act.

The problem with the information in public records is that the data you are looking for is usually buried under literally thousands of unrelated documents, and can be virtually impossible to find.

Thanks to information technology and the internet, it is now possible for you to find the information you want using special search engines.

These search engines go through millions of public records to find the information that you need, making an impossible taks easy.
