Back in the 90’s I was doing IT work and an ex-boss asked if I wanted to do a side job in the evening. It turned out to be a job for a strip bar in Jacksonville, FL. The manager was fascinated with the work I was doing with Flash animated webpages and he offered to show me what he did.
He was a licensed Bails bondman and simply by getting the number off my car’s tag he pulled up what the police can see when they run your tag. It not only showed every car I had ever owned it also showed every car my Dad had ever owned. Under know associates it showed two kids I got into a fight with at the school bus stop while I was in 8th grade. This was in the 90’s when most things were less technical than today. People would be shocked if they knew what the government knows about them...
