Help needed. How to look up vehicle purchase records by last name?

[dbhost]

This evening has been SCREWED UP... Some (LONG OBSCENE DIATRIBE DELETED) in a just got the plates on it Infitity QX (the biggest SUV they make) aimed that 3.5 ton monster, INTENTIONALLY at my wife and I in our Saturn, making me have to run OVER a curb (not an easy task in a Saturn by the way...) and across a neighbor's lawn, nearly hitting a cluster mailbox, to keep from having this fine individual kill my wife and myself... He stopped, rolled down his window yelling something incoherent about running a stop sign (I did NOT run that stop sign, and have PLENTY of witnesses to the fact)...

Upon talking to the neighbors, I find that the guys parents live about 8 blocks from me. Through Tax office records, I found his parents name, and from the look of the car I am guessing it is a 2009 or 2010 model Infinity...

Is there any way I can look to see how many people with last name XYZ purchased or registered a certain make / model vehicle within the last several years?

I REALLY want this guy's license plate number, so that I can turn that in to my local PD... I want charges of reckless endangerment filed against this lunatic. From what his parent's next door neighbor tells me, he has a reputation for being abusive to the neighbors as well. And I think this is the same lunatic that tried getting his Pit Bull to attack my dog about 6 years ago. The guy is a menace, and most likely needs psycho therapy, or an extended stay at the gray bar hotel...

Seems like you should be able to go to the local police and explain the situation to them, assuming you could identify the guy by sight. I think they would have an easy time finding out who this clown is and where they find him.

I agree. You have witnesses (at least your wife). I'd go to the police with what you have. The sooner, the better.

Do not do your own investigating. Make your complaint to the cops, as they have the resources. However, think twice about making a bigger issue of this, at least until you have calmed down. He would get a ticket, at most, but then would know exactly to whom to vent his temper. You could win the battle, but lose the war. Is it worth the risk?

I'm going to let the police take care of the issue. And most likely take advantage of my concealed carry permit. With muggings going on around here, now this kind of crap.... I think it would be best to be prepared...

One other consideration, should you decide to proceed - you could receive a citation.

Traffic offenses are "status offenses" - motive or extenuating circumstances are immaterial. For example, if a driver crosses the yellow line to avoid hitting a child in the street, then has a minor fender bender with an oncoming car, that driver is at fault for the accident - it doesn't matter than he saved the child's life. The police might decline to issue a ticket in that case, but if they do, the driver is guilty.

You should "Google" "status offenses". Doesn't seem like that is the term(s) that apply to this situation.

Thought you would clear up what you meant.

What I posted is accurate and your link confirmed that, so no clarification was necessary. I did not say it was a "juvenile status offense", but rather a "status offense".

If you are still confused, I suggest that you discuss it with your own attorney.

I took your advice and called my attorney. He said "status offense" applies to juveniles. He could be wrong or maybe they changed the meaning since you went to law school.

If you called your attorney and you are comfortable with his response, isn't that all that matters?

I know your feeling, my wifes car is the nice one, and that seems to be what I'm driving with the family in it when people behave in that manner, so putting them into the nearest ditch or tree is not a sound option and unfortunately I'm forced to deal with it after the fact when I'm solo in my car, but being that the entire town I live in only has four roads leading in or out, it makes it very easy to narrow down where people live.

It also burns me to no end to see people who get away with the whole "you can't prove it" + cops didn't see it = they get away with it. I had some neighbors that were shooting off fireworks, hit my house, I called them out, they played dumb, then did it again. The wife begged me to let them live (I was fresh off deployment and not very tolerant of someone shooting flaming objects at the windows of my newborns room), so i just called the cops but they immediately packed it in and turned off the lights so it ended there. I showed the cop the still smoldering remains and the scorch marks on my siding plus the matching stuff all over their yard. cops did nothing, and I have two cops in my neighborhood of 20 homes. Next day found out they knew they hit my house the first time and thought it was funny that it pissed me off so they did it on purpose the second time. I'll say that I worked out my frustration and then some just mucking up their life all kinds of ways before I finally got them evicted, fortunately jerks are usually pretty oblivious to the enemies they rack up.
