Boggie:

Here's when we ran NCIC Checks:

Any vehicle pulled over
Any vehicle license plate called out over the radio by an officer
Anyone arrested
Anytime an officer requested it during the course of a call.

It really isn't hard, just need a name and DOB, takes about 20 seconds for a response.

The printouts were duplicate, and the top copy was shredded after use, and the 2nd copy was held by the records department. I'm 99 44/100% sure that the FBI keeps record of who was run when, but it doesn't necessarily print when the dispatcher runs a person.

However, we couldn't run anyone just because. That would get you in trouble, especially if for some reason there was a hit.
