No, I mean registrations and license info (with photos) as well ad driving
records. My brother-in-law used to be married to a woman who worked EMS,
she had access to license info any time she wanted but you and me don't.
Why should some people have this access and the rest of us don't?

Here I either have to pay for it a second time or I have to have a friend
in the police department.

Again, here I have to pay for it a second time.
