Does this mean that the police can no longer go to the DMV to see who owns a white Chevy Tahoe within a five mile radius, since security cameras caught such a truck at the crime scene? Or to local tire shops to see who bought Goodyear Eagle GT’s in the last two years as their impressions were left after the getaway car ran over an oil slick ? How about all the sporting goods stores for records of purchasers of Nike Air Jordans about size 10, since the perp left clear track in the mud?
In this example the police would be searching their own (states) records, not the owner’s
