Quoted: NCIC is a database of databases. Your drivers license and vehicle registration are two separate databases in NCIC. The big one is III (Interstate Identification Index) which is a pointer system that will direct the requestor of information to the any states holding information. The laws surrounding these state databases vary by state and so does the information in them. If that city ran your tags, not a big deal. If they ran your III, that's a huge No-No. View Quote Oooohhhh..... SOMEbody read their NCIC study guide!!! |

Well…fellas…it’s been nice knowing ya’ll!
I kinda pulled the pin today. I emailed my Representative, Mike Bost, a Republican today with this: To make a long story short, I discovered that my NCIC file was queried twice during calendar year 2022 by what appears to be Automated License Plate Reader cameras (ALPR’s) . At first glance, it appears that these cameras / queries were done on my way to a gun range or from a gun range. The first query was on Friday March 4th, 2022 at about 9AM-ish from the Fayetteville, IL police department as I was on my way to the World Shooting Complex in Sparta, IL . The second query was on August 29th, 2022 at exactly 1700 hours from the Shiloh, IL police department. Supposedly. I had just left the Town and Country Gun club in Maryville, IL at about 4:49PM . Google maps says it takes 26 minutes to go from that gunclub to Shiloh. Town and Country Gunclub is a private, members only club that has electronic key card gate access. Again, at first glance, it appears that an ALPR along Highway 162 had scanned my license plate number. Then it automatically “pinged” my NCIC file. For both of these incidents, I was absolutely NOT pulled over for say speeding. Also, there were absolutely NO interactions with law enforcement on those two days. In my opinion, this seems to be too Big Brother-ish for my tastes. Is this a standard policy across the state of Illinois to track the comings and goings of lawful gunowners? Is this SOP in other states to track who is frequenting gun ranges? A few news articles related to Maryville, IL ALPR’s say that the camera systems are maintained by the Federal DEA. In my opinion, this is a government over-reach and requires more oversight. Thank you, Sooooo….I’ll be getting raided by the ATF and/or the Illinois State Police shortly….I surmise. My two dogs were getting up in age anyway…. ![]() And….yeah….errr….no, not expecting much of a response from Rep. Mike Bost. If you all don’t hear from me like next week, I either got Waco’ed / Ruby Ridge’ed or I am sitting in a jail cell waiting to be arraigned. |

Is it possible to flood your license plate out with IR lights?

They have cameras at the gun club roads to be sure they know everyone who has a firearm, welcome to the gun registry.

Quoted: I can't remember the name of it, but there was a company a few years ago that claimed to be able to do exactly that to beat red light tickets, by pulsing an IR strobe (supposedly) in sync with the camera. He had a guarantee that he'd pay your ticket if it failed, and it put him out of business. I'm guessing from a programming perspective it's probably trivial to randomize the strobes so nothing can sync to it. View Quote I would think a constant source of IR directly on the plate would do it. |

I talked to another lawyer today. He represents this other gunclub I am also a member of.
The dude has got to be in his 80’s now. He asked me to send him an email with the specific details and the pics. Then I emailed Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri. Yes, I know from Missouri. And then I emailed Missouri Attorney General Bailey. I basically said “Please tell me Missouri is not as fucktarded as Illinois.” |

It would extract the info from the DMV return, auto-populate the query form, resubmit it, and then relay any hot hits. With the high likelihood of false hits, it overburdens the system and only known wanted plates are used to query against. So, yes, a trust, llc, girlfriend, refuse to add DOB to DMV registration, and so on would all solve the problem. |

Flock installed a new license plate reader today in Carbondale. Rt 13 eastbound near Giant City Rd intersection by Walmart.

(Because frankly, I really have no clue. I went to both of those ranges between 5 and 10 times last year. Why did my NCIC file get queried just twice then I have no idea. I don’t know. I didn’t write the software or algorithm.). I am just saying that trying to hide your car’s ownership via a trust us not necessarily gonna work. I said “I bet Flock safety has access to the LexisNexis database.” If their camera systems / algorithm / software runs a plate and that vehicle comes back as being owned by a trust, then worst case scenario is that some “analyst” at Flock has to punch the trust’s name into LexisNexis, by hand. That is ASSuming trusts are also listed in LN. Then Flock now knows the owner or trustee of that trust….which owns that car. Barring that, I am ASSuming Flock has whatever unfettered access to the various state DMV databases. Then Flock can track a plate back to an address. Once they have that address, then they can go through LN to get a name. |

Quoted: I would guess it had something to do with being 20 miles from the greater st.

Makes perfect sense. One of these days, we are going to win this war on drugs. I just know we will. until then we will just have to suffer through having our civil rights trampled on by the .gov Word on da’ streetz is there are already ALPR’s on the bridges going across the Mississippi River. That doesn’t do much good curbing gangbangers when: A. The cars are stolen in the first place OR B. The car is wearing a temporary tag |

When I started reading this thread back then, it got me curious about FBI files on individuals. So I researched FOIA and filled it out online. LoL. Exactly one week later, I get a thick letter saying they didn't find jack $#!t. They also outlined the reasons and one of them is that the state or local LEOs did not report any incidents to the NCIC. Either that or they're lying.

And everyone thinks Kenosha is bad View Quote @Chukar Years ago when this other gun club was having issues with St. Clair county’s eminent domain lawsuit, I think it was the Belleville News Democrat newspaper revealed that there is this “Southwestern Illinois Development Authority” (SWIDA) that can pretty much take any property that they want via eminent domain. Link left cold on purpose: https://www.swida.org EDIT: this other gun club president involved in this eminent domain case with the county, told me one time, “Because of SWIDA, I would never buy property in southern Illinois. According to them, you don’t really own it, and they can take it at any time.” I almost feel bad from that gun club president. He was so in over his head. Luckily, the gun club had a long time member who was / still is a lawyer.

I just had an interesting thought.
In that NCIC paperwork I saw, there was one sheet that said “ACTIVE FOID CARD ON FILE”. Then another sheet said something like “NO ACTIVE CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT”. Sooo….posit this: “They” are comparing the license plate numbers (car owners) against the FOID card database and the CCW database. What happens if you frequent a gun range too much but don’t have a FOID? ![]() |

Besides, nowhere in my application for a FOID card did I agree to being tracked from/to gun stores or gun ranges.
