If the screamers get your license plate number, cops will run it and know that you have a CHL. They aren't going to waste time looking for someone that isn't a problem.
When a "28" (License Plate) is run it does not return that the registered owner has a CHL. Only (if they are lucky) the current owner and address. Plus of course the year and make of the vehicle.
Now, in theory the dispatcher could attempt to run the registered owners name but without a DOB (which is not on the 28 return either) it's going to take time.
In the current Texas TLETS software (NCIC/TCIC) the query for a 28 is completely different from the 27/29 (DL and Warrant check).
When doing a 27/29 check on a person, the subjects name, race, sex, and DOB is entered. It is then with the 27 return that if the person has a CHL the officer will find out.
Hope the law enforcement jargon doesn't confuse you all but I tried to explain all the codes.
In the DPS we have a screen that once you run the 28 in CAD you can go back and run a 27 in TELETS ( RUMBA) and enter the name with a DOB of 1/1/1900, it will bring up everyone with that name in the state... then all you do is match the name and city supplied with the 28 return... that'll give you the DL info and then you can go back and run the 27 in CAD and the CHL info. You're right it takes a bit of time, but in 10-33 situations (Emergency's (which can be a man with a gun)) a good DPS PCO wants to know what he's (she's) sending his (her) Troopers into. A good DPS Operator takes care of his (her) Troopers by gathering all the available information, using all of the tools available to them and then processing this information in due haste thereby supplying the Troopers with all pertinent information available to them. In this case it'd be a 10-22 (disreguard) because of the CHL, or a reduction in priority from 10-33 to just normal traffic.
