My friend at work had a harrowing experience the other day. He was stopped by the OHP for an expired tag. Not a big deal in itself, but he was carrying an unloaded rifle in the back of his car. He said the trooper asked him upon approaching his car "if he had any weapons on him"? He said that he told the officer yes, he had one in the back-unloaded. The officer told him to get in the passenger seat for a minute. He told me that he was terrified because he had an expunged felony from another state and was not even sure if he was legal to own a rifle. He said after a few minutes the trooper told him this was just a warning and he needed to get his tag renewed. He was allowed to go. He said he was very afraid while the trooper was on his PC. That got me to thinking.... Just what does the OHP trooper see on his computer during a traffic stop?? It seems to me that the officer could see his expunged felony and/or anything else about him. The reason he was stopped to begin with was, a license plate reader captured his tag from a bridge and the officer was alerted and waiting two mile ahead!
Anybody know just what is visible to the police on their PCs during traffic stops?
Thanks in advance!
