A license plate check that reveals information about a person's car ownership, driver status and criminal record doesn't constitute a search under the Fourth Amendment, the 9th Circuit has ruled. A police officer ran a computer license plate check of a pickup truck that was ahead of him on the highway. The check revealed that the registered owner had a suspended driver's license.
