From the supplier: A provision in the crime bill passed by Congress prohibits public access to states' motor vehicle records, which will hamper public service investigations by journalists. The rationale behind the Driver's Privacy Protection Act is that open records pose a threat to privacy and can encourage stalking. The press could have requested a special exemption under the bill, but advocates refused. Journalists and media lawyers fear that other government records will be similarly sealed.
