WHEREAS, the ability of law enforcement agencies in different states to quickly access information about any driver operating in a particular state is an important safety concern to both the law enforcement officer and members of the public; and

WHEREAS, the ability to scan information regarding a motor vehicle operator into a database that interfaces with motor vehicle and law enforcement agencies throughout the country will increase safety to both law enforcement and the public by providing current information as the individual’s present ability to legally operate a motor vehicle, by identifying any outstanding warrants, and assist in identifying potentially dangerous individuals; now therefore, be it

RESOLVED, that the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) duly assembled at its 108th Annual conference in Toronto, Ontario encourages the enactment of a Federal law that would provide for identifying information about all motor vehicle operators to be included in a bar code on motor vehicle licenses that would interface with state and federal law enforcement and motor vehicle agencies when scanned.
