New Commentary: Professional Investigators Targeted
Since late 2016 our profession has faced a growing assault on our access to
important public records. This assault has been primarily from the same
online media outlets, and reported here multiple times (search our blogs
for ‘privacy’). Beginning late 2019 this grew literally by the month,
sometimes consecutive weeks. This has gained the attention of lawmakers
and regulators – state and federal, who are taking up considerations to act
on state and federal versions of the Drivers Protection Privacy Act (DPPA),
Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), Graham-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB) and others.

NCISS, NALI and state associations are all working together for you. Your membership and support are needed or we –
you – will likely lose our – your – access to these regulated public records at the discretion of misinformed and zealous
privacy advocates. At the heart of this is the access to driver license records.
