Any law enforcement entity can look up any vehicles VIN number. It will give 
a much more in depth report than carfax.com does. I ran my car through 
carfax.com and the information was not totally complete. However the State 
Motor Vehicle computers law enforcement agencies use have a much more up to 
date history of vehicles recent changes in registration and title changes. I 
have run my DeLorean through the computer where I work and it gives more 
detail than the interenet obviously. However the interenet cannot publish 
private information. This information is also confidential when running them 
through a law enforcement network. Everytime a VIN is run, it recorded by 
date of lookup and by who and for what reason. We also must sign off in a 
record book everytime the system is accesed for criminal or NCIC look ups. 
This prevents misuse of private information as it should.
