Call and tell them you're not paying no stinking ticket. Even better if they mistakenly assume you're the ex-employee.

Does that mean if a tourist from out of state gets a speeding ticket in a rental car, it will show up for subsequent renters until they pay the ticket, or the car rental company pays it?

The Plano police claim they can't clear it until the ex-employee comes in and pays the ticket. It is the silliest thing I have ever heard but there was something to it as our service manager was stopped over the issue. My reason for posting this is that this makes me wonder how much info may be tied in with the LP.

When a police officer in a patrol car runs a check on something, he is very rarely accessing TLETS directly. It is almost always done through a program that his agency either purchased or wrote. As such, the program can be told to check anything with that information.

For example, when a license plate is run in San Antonio, the program checks the municipal court records for warrants, checks the active suspicious persons file for any entries, checks the active gang unit files to see if the vehicle has been reported as being involved with gang members, checks the state registration files, and checks with both NCIC and TCIC to see if the car has been reported stolen or wanted for some other reason (AMBER alert or such). In Luling, the car is run byt he dispatcher (no computers in the cars) and it is pretty much just the state checks that are done by TCIC.

I would guess, from the description, that Plano is also checking their local files whenever they run a plate. And they are correct that they cannot do anything about it until the ex-employee pays it. The basic facts are that the record shows that the car was being driven by someone who got a ticket and did not pay it. The only way to change that is to pay the ticket. The interesting thing to do is pay it for him. If it is not paid and the city asks, DPS won't renew the license but the conviction doesn't show up for his insurance to find until the ticket is paid. Paying it could result in higher insurance rates for him (or fraud charges if the company wants to and he did not tell them about it).

CHL pops up as a TCIC hit, so any time you are checked for warrants essentially, it will pop up.

I believe that information is incorrect. It only comes up on a DL check, not a warrant check.

Believe as you wish.
