Police car cruiser computer. What does it show?
I was pulled over the other day. Everything went well. I was very respectful of course. No problems. I was wondering what info comes up on the police car cruiser computer. When he's running your plates.

I can't tell you. They put them in right after I retired. They are maybe good, but glad I didn't have to fool with them. I wouldn't want to be around one if I had a wreck.

Probably more about you.....
......than you want anybody else to know. I'm sure that while they are running the car, they are also running you for outstanding warrants, etc. The last time I got pulled over the policeman handed me a ticket and said, "Oh, you may want to visit your dentist more regularly."

Once the tag is put in... dmv info,ccw come back right away followed up by state and ncic returns. Followed up by any info such as watch list or similar name/dob/ssn hits and finally local contacts (the last is a specific jurisdiction thing). Now if a vehicle is registered to more than one person the returns are double. A ton of info in seconds. Several Seconds longer if from another state...very helpful,but can be distracting as you are readingscreens instead of watching the car awaiting a radio reply. Now if a watch list hit comes up, the cellphone calls will follow.

They will show the same information in the state/federal database as the main computers. Things such tickets, convictions, warrants, and some states CC status.

I think the info includes your bank balance so the PO knows how many tickets you can almost afford.

I was headed to a church related meeting in a small city about an hour and a half away the other day. After turning off the 75 mph highway, I entered a reduced speed area and just thumbed off the cruise control.
I see the city police cruiser about the same time his lights came on and he eased in behind me.
When he gets to the window, which I have rolled down after turning off the engine and sitting with both hands on the wheel, I inform him I am a licensed handgun carrier and am armed. That is no longer a requirement in Texas, but I rather over-inform. His exact quote is, "Oh, hell, it's Texas, everyone has a gun." He then says, "If you don't have any warrants, I'll have out of here in a minute."
At this point I don't know if that means with, or without, a citation. When he comes back to the window, he says, "Your driving record is better than mine, have a nice day." At this point, he turns on his heels and returns to the cruiser after handing my license back to me. No citation or even a "be more careful" or anything. I thank him as he's walking away and can't help but laugh. He was a young man, so I wondered about his driving record!

It does however vary a little bit by state. Some states provide more or less info than the above.

When I was a young trooper in 1969, if you pulled someone over & they couldn't produce a driver's license (I left it at home), you had a choice of taking them at their word, or both of you sitting on the shoulder of the road for about an hour while your dispatcher attempted to get verification from Springfield (IL)...everything happens in seconds nowadays...

Happened to me in 1998 (lots of serious upgrades in info now available.)
I ordered a 98 Corvette and special plates for it from DMV at the same time (plate was 98VETTE) Both normally take about 2-3 months to get processed back then. The plates came in a couple weeks before the Vette and I had to put them on the car I was trading in for the Vette in order to be legal to drive. Car was a special order 97 SS Camaro.
I was out driving about 50 miles from the house and I noticed a state police car turn around behind me and started following me (I was not speeding) Car stayed behind me for about 10 minuets and then another SP car fell in behind the first one. I'm now thinking this is not good.
Sure enough I got lit, up pulled over and 3 troopers got out of their cars and yelled to me put your hands up (I was driving a convertible, top down) They approached me very carefully and the one in charge asked me why a plate that said 98Vette on it was on a 97 Camaro.
Showed registration and explained and all was well. Asked why the sort of felony stop and he told me that the state DMV computer was down and the dispatchers at the station could not run Reg and they thought they might have had a stolen car or stolen plates. The one trooper was a gear head and after the official part of the stop was over we had a nice car guy type talk!
Just another interesting day on the road!

I can't believe you even asked that without mentioning WHERE YOU WERE.
There are 50 semi-sovereign states, so every one will be different.

Like many of the old timers here, we were lucky to have working radios in the car. Forget portables or computers. When you left the car, you were on your own. During my last year, the county installed a box with a row of 7-8 buttons. One was a 10-33 (emergency) signal and the rest were routine status and request calls to the dispatcher. That was about as close to computers as we got back then. What hadn't been implemented yet was the 10-33 location signal. So even if you had to use it, you still had to call dispatch to let them know where you were.
Back then, you had to have the intestinal fortitude of a Texas Ranger. (One riot, one ranger.) One, sometimes two officers to a patrol car in a county district larger than most cities. I can remember doing 110mph on the way to a backup call in the next district. That was about all the cars would do and shook like an out of balance washing machine. It took 20 minutes to get there.
Yeah, that was the good ole days.

In PA, the Pennsylvania Justice Network (aka JNET) has a new program called Traffic Stop...
Quote:
The HTML5-enabled responsive application, called Traffic Stop, combines data from the state police, the state Transportation Department, the state court system and the state Department of Human Services. The application is hosted on the Pennsylvania Justice Network, or JNET — a secure portal used by authorized criminal justice and public safety professionals to access data from local, state and federal sources.
As the name would suggest, during a traffic stop, a police officer can enter a license plate number into the app to determine if the vehicle is stolen or has an expired registration. Officers can also input the driver’s license number of someone they’ve pulled over to determine if any active warrants are out on that individual. The application also displays an alert if an individual has a suspended or revoked license, or is associated with a protection from abuse order.

This is good. It makes gathering information easier and a lot quicker.

Last time I got pulled over...
Not wearing seat belt
No current sticker on plate
No current registration
No proof of insurance
No ticket
I'm pretty sure the computer screen must have read - Give the fat old man with the nice dog and nagging wife a break.

I would just assume it pulls up your personal info the DMV would have, and if running plates, the vehicle registration info. Also any warrants you may have. Can't imagine any other info, as anything beyond that is none of their business.

Most current Moblie Data Terminals can access about everything dispatch can access, i.e., criminal history, DL status/record, wants/warrants, firearms/stolen property checks, internet, write police reports, etc. Access and capabilities vary between jurisdictions.

yeah, they were going in just around the time I was thinking about retirement. Our originally had a chat feature, and the young coppers were flirting with the dispatchers. The commo Captain sent out a memo to be read at all roll calls that all data was stored,and that he could read any of it. The chat died, like right now!

I am debating how to answer this, because no matter what I say someone is going to take issue/or get angry/or feed the conspiracy theorists.
Let me say this: At least IN MY STATE you would be amazed at what we have access to. NC has been very proactive rolling out a system/program/application that bridges the information from MOST major systems the state uses. It also incorporates a large number of NCIC functions.
Now, after a little playing around, I can take some information and start plugging into other commonly available information from public databases: Voter records, tax records, register of deeds, property tax records.......surprisingly I make good use of Google and Google maps. Incredible what is freely available to the public that I make use of.
Certain counties in NC are getting ready to go live with a Domestic Violence eFile program. Again, more information. There really is a vast amount of information available.
Every car in my agency is a Wi-Fi hotspot. Our MDTs (mobile data terminals) are fully functioning laptops. We can surf the internet and do everything you can do on your own laptop. And of course, some guys have gotten themselves in trouble.
So to answer your question as simply as possible: What can we see?
A LOT!!!!

In NC it also includes whether the registered owner has a concealed carry permit.

I was stopped for excessive speed in Oregon, my home state, last year. When the trooper walked up to my window, he already knew I had a CC permit. I had just driven thru Ca., so I had put the revolver on the passenger seat, unloaded, in case I was stopped going thru that state. I also was going home from the Reno gunshow and had a bunch of long guns on the floor in the back. The trooper was polite, checked the license, insurance and registration and said have a nice day and slow down. I lucked out.
