Interesting Article
I just cam across this article from Slate.com (a Ben Russell favorite) that explains (or at least tries to) how the police look-up information on you. It's pretty vague though and leaves many questions unanswered (such as: how much information is pulled-up on you when you're pulled over; what if you committed the crimes in another state; which states communicate better or worse with others, etc.) but still kind-of interesting, so I thought I'd post it.
I have been telling myself that I can't post until my thesis is finished, and although I'm breaking that rule now, once it's done I will do a better job at spewing poorly written drivel to disgust you all.
