New Commentary: Private Investigators and Records Access Under Attack
In August and September members of the National Council of Investigation
& Security Services (NCISS – www.nciss.org/join-nciss) were alerted to
disturbing articles attacking private investigators and access to public
records, for legal and ethical purposes in litigation – particularly state
driving records. These are resurfaced from similar stories just before major
state and national elections in 2016 and 2018.
Headline #1 - Arizona DMV Sells Drivers' Photos and SSNs to Private Investigators
Headline #2 - The Loophole the DMV Uses to Sell Your Data to Private Investigators
Headline #3 - California DMV Is Selling Drivers' Data to Private Investigators
(previously Vermont in 2019, and in both 2016 and 2019 California with similar headlines and sources)
The NCISS Legislative Committee has responded to this false and intentionally misleading statements, and is monitoring
legislative and regulatory activity with state associations and in Congress and federal regulatory agencies.
