Perhaps you should describe your specific situation. If you are not comfortable doing such on an online forum, which is completely understandable, then you need to bring these details to an attorney who is versed in such law. The problem is that your broad question could yield results that actually do not accurately apply to your situation and will result in inaccurate information.

The details matter. How do you KNOW he used law enforcement resources to run a background check for personal use? And what records were accessed? Who might be responsible for an investigation depends on what was done. You might, first, start with his employing agency.
