I was pulled over the other night and rec'd a ticket for an unregistered vehicle. The result of Massachusettes screwed up internet based registration process that obviously has some major flaws.
Anyway, I noticed that when I got in the police car to be driven to the station as my car was impounded that the officer had a "guest" in the passenger seat with him! It was obviously his girlfriend (but I can't prove that yet). She clearly had no police markings on her clothes and was not there for an authorized ride along..she was just keeping him company.
I did not appreciate the fact that this civilian had access to all of the personal information streaming across the officers laptop regarding me and my drivng record, etc. Also, it seems to me that what was happening to me was between me, the officer and the court...not this person that I didn't give permission to see my information. Who knows what she saw and now knows about me. How can I go after this guy (he was a young prick) for having this unauthorized person in the car and letting her see all this information, plus embarrass me in the process? Is there a privacy issue here?
