I worked there. They get the info from multiple databases from each city and state where, license plates, drivers license, etc are registered. That information goes into a massive central database that is available for any law enforcement agency to use. The one I worked for is Texas Department of Public Safety in Austin, Texas.

there are 44 states linked to one information center so it depends on where you live.
it is a crime/dmv search-by your name-and license number
outstanding warrents show up so it isn't just dmv. it's the man. car license plate is a vehicle search-and they can choose weather to search the owners name for outstanding warrents or any basic info. it is a powerful search engine linked to the states computars. stay out of trouble or move to a country that you can bribe the cops. any country south of the usa believes in the barter system.

There is a national computer and also a state network. so if you are wanted in another state, better try to outrun them!
